Also, the world is a very big place with a lot of other retailers besides those big ones in the US. So 1million worldwide sitting on various store shelves, trucks, boats, plains, trains, and even in Sony's various manufacturers warehouses about to be loaded can and does very easily equal 1m at any given time.
If you look at the latest fiscal figures in one of the many threads right now you'll notice as of the end of March 2010 all three companies had a million or so plus units 'on shelves'. Its a normal situation.
While VGC is definitely not 100% correct, they are close enough to be considered law for hardware numbers.
I don't know why I even post in these threads anymore. Its always the same with some poor schmuck that can't realize to a manufacturer, sold to retailer is always 'units sold' where as sold to the rest of the world is 'sold to end user'. Then they always argue with help from other tards that XXX console needs to be adjusted! When in reality it would mean the same difference as all sales on the site are below the shipped/sold to retailers figures, everyone would get adjusted up and in effect cancel it all out.
In the end its still the same. Wii >>>> 360 >> PS3 and DS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PSP.
