I really don't know, but if we talk about undertracked all of the ones I listed above undertrack the PS3. Every single one. That does sound strange. But maybe Sony counts in a different way. Like consoles ordered, but not shipped or even sold to customer yet. This is no trolling, just some thoughts.

Pretty much. The paranoia's getting thick in here...
Sony used to count 'Production Shipments' which meant unsold internal inventory or even unmanufactured retail orders placed would be counted. That always led to numbers dramatically higher than sales trackers. In 2007 they switched over to a new accounting method that included only 'shipments', but it's still not exactly in line with Nintendo's stricter accounting methods. Dunno about Microsoft?
