@thx

its pointless mate... we have been saying this for ages, but nobody listens.

it effectively means that Sony numbers will always have a wider gap with reported retail numbers sold than both ms and Ninty because Sony report PS3 as sold to retail in their numbers even if they havent made them yet, whereas ms and ninty only report sold consoles built and out of the factory door.

what evidence do you have to support this?

Take a look at this post from the thread on Sony quarterly earnings.

The key sentence

the method of reporting hardware and software unit sales has been changed from production shipments (b) to recorded sales (a)

ok, and ?

what is your point plz ?

my problem is that I dont see (get) if production shipments come AFTER or BEFORE recorded sales

does they only product what they already have sold ? I dont think so
so to me, production shipments come AFTER recorded sales ... Am I right ?

I must say the things are not so clear to me
