You u can exaggerate numbers and no you won't end up like enron.that only happens when you do it alot.many companie's have exaggerated alot in the past.

Well, you can stuff the channel, but you usually pay for it the next cycle. See 360 in late 2006 (to hit 10m), or PSP in late 2005/early 2006 (to keep pace with DS).
Still, it doesn't look like MS is channel stuffing now.
|
yeah but they haven't sold to consumer 39m by any chance
|
Sure, but I don't believe Microsoft ever said they have?
|
they did at ces and in their recent financial report
|
If they actually said they SOLD to CONSUMERS 39 million. Then I believe them. Shareholders and certain laws are in place to protect them against making stock decisions based on company lies. M$ legal department will know this.
|
many companies do it again and again.only the ceo knows what exactly is happening.they would just minus 2m shipments from the next quater's figures and be done.that happens alot.
and no MS didn't say shipped to consumers but you can't have 2m extra units on the shelves too.so most probably they are bluffing or they overshipped and not alot of consumers bought them.
whereas sony said they shipped 31m and they sold 31m in last quarter as figures show.there is a proof,there were PS3 shortages in dec itself
|
Can you post a link to any shortages? I knew of none. Also Sony never said anything that I ever read. PS3 was easily available. If 31m is shipped, then we definately have PS3 sales wrong on this site.

the ps3 was sold out at many places around 17th dec.and almost all online retailers were out of stock a week before christmas
|
LOL. These arent shortages. These are phase outs in 1 or 2 stores. LOL.
Like I said nothing at all from IGN ro Websites in general or Sony themselves about shortages. Anyways now we know the shipped figure is 33.5 million we know there wasnt shortages. Over 2 million sat in shops around the world.
|
nah those aren't phase out.they were out of stock till around 20th of January last month.they just didn't have any stock atall.there were just 250gbs in stock,no 120gbs were available cause they were all sold out
and just because ign didn't do an article doesn't means that it didn't happen.IGN hasn't written an article on many issues of gaming does it mean that those things didn't happed
|
There were official articles about a console being sold out.
That console was NOT the Playstation 3.
http://www.industrygamers.com/news/ps3-to-see-best-growth-in-january-as-wii-suffers-meaningful-shortages-says-analyst/
There would of been an article had this been the case.
If anything considering what this guy said vs Sony's official shipped numbers... they've got like 2.7 million consoles on shelves world wide.
