there seems to be a lot of consistency here... sony ships high nintendo ships mid ms ships low, also notice at one point nintendo had 3 mil extra consoles so i dont get what the big deal is right now with sonys shipped numbers

the problem is the gap between sold and whats been shipped is too big for too long when it comes to Sony. If the is that many PS3's on shelves then the shops would not accept more shipments. If you remember the PS3 was supply constrained not so long ago and looking at the shipments vs sold, Being supply constrained would have been impossible with almost 2 million PS3's in the wild.

So VG chartz is consistently, inconsistent with ps3 sales what exactly is causing that

that fact that the ps3 is more popular and gets most of its sales outside of the USA and UK. Same goes for the PS2 if you look at the shipments that has been having compared to the sales this site is reporting. It is very hard to track most of europe, Asia, Latin america, South america, Africa.
