| legend92(3) said: One word can pretty much some up Xboys response. Delusional. There is no logical reason for PS3 to have an extra 2 million or so consoles more sitting on shelves. If its not selling as well as the 360 why would stores be buying them?? makes no sense people come on. |
Well to be fair the 360 has just discontinued a model and is currently (by most accounts) struggling to meet demand on the new model and so it would make sense that their shipped number is much closer to their sell through number than the PS3, especially if Sony's shipped figures include retail orders currently awaiting shipment.
Also in the case of HW, although units sold sold to retail are obviously important it is the sell through that really matters as that's where the companies make most of their money (particularily Sony who don't appear to make much of console sales but have a lot of first party software).
The good news for Sony is that demand for the console in obviously still there and retailers must be expecting to shift a lot of units over the coming months otherwise they clearly wouldn't be stocking so many units.
