So NPD (US), Media Create (Japan), GfK (UK / Other Europe) and VGC (worldwide) are all wrong... ?!
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?

so they shipped in that way 2M PS3s? nah.
|
So *everyone's* undertracking PS3? Keep the conspiracy theories coming...
|
actually npd numbers where alot higher also, vgc can't get wrong japan because media create and other come first. and europe well thats well probably they don't any way to know how things are selling.
if sony was stuffing the channel, they would have by now, but then they shippping way more than microsoft.
actually microsoft may the one stuffing, until 360s and 150$ clearance sales since they are not shipping as many now.

No one is 'channel stuffing' at the moment. PS3 has a healthy supply, 360 is somewhat supply constrained.
