In the coming months Sony and Microsoft will announce how many XBox 360s and PS3s have been sold to retailers worldwide until the end of March 2010.
I was wondering which console has fewer units in stock at retail at the moment, so this poll may help provide some insight with regard to future 'sold to retail' comparisons.
Various times in the past it was claimed the bigger boxed fat PS3 had about 1 million more units on the shelves than 360s, which sounded weird to me (a lot of extra needed shelf /storage space in comparison to the 360).
In my area, Groningen, the Netherlands shops are currently flooded by especially cheap XBox 360 arcade units while there are PS3 shortages.

That comparison can only be made when both Sony and Microsoft use the same definition of shipped units. We know both are to retail, but it isn't clear which units are included into that total and whether one or both include things like replacement or demo units.
|
If we assume this, we can easily assume Microsoft wins with regard to replacement units...
|
Seriously replacement units are not counted as extra "hardware sales" to retail, they are replaced for free.
|
Actually Sony may counted that as "shipped." They don't report "Hardware sales" they report shipped... and there numbers don't match up to any major source.
Something is different in the way Sony counts it's numbers.

what? nothings different with sony. you just made it all up in your head. sony know how much consoles they sold! they fuckin make the damn things man!
