Except that the whole point of this site is to track how many consumers have actually bought the hardware, not how many are consoles are sitting in warehouses and store shelves worldwide.

I don't see it like that.

I like this site not because it provides consumer numbers, but because the numbers are weekly, and that there are numbers for so many things.

So just because I am a member here and use shipments as official sales, doesn't mean I'm in the wrong.

Do you know what happens when products are overshipped?

They get shipped back to the manufacturer. Or are heavily discounted, or are dumped or any number of things.

Shipment figures are useful, but they aren't the whole picture when looking at the demand of a product to consumers.
