With the amount of shortages coming from sony this quarter I'm expecting a 1.5 to 2 mil this quarter for Sony

Sony don't report shipped, Sony report ordered meaning the shortages shouldn't affect their figures in fact the shortages would mean they'd have a higher number of consoles in the "channel" because some of them haven't been made yet just ordered

Channel = number on store shelves + number in trucks/on boats on the way to shelves. Less stock on shelves means less difference between shipped and sold. Units that have been ordered but not have not left factories do not count as shipped

For Sony they do, Sony do not report shipped as I said they report ordered. Hence how they can seem to have a large number of consoles in the channel but have shortages, what they say is shipped isn't shipped it's simply ordered by retailers
