2M consoles on shelves is reasonable I guess, but that's not my problem.
My problem is people saying 'overshipped' and talking like Sony has lied about their numbers.

I'm pretty sure most of us use "overshipped" as that Sony overestimated the demand for the PS3.. and produced more PS3's then the demand needed.. Cause a company doesn't want to have a large pile of inventory sitting on the shelves and having the factories producing more stuff then needed.. because that costs money.. a perfect company have demand and production at equal level..

Nonsense. Foxconn manufactures exactly the numbers of PS3s/XBox360/IPods/Whatever that its contractors planned and ordered for the current fiscal year. There is no "lets's make a few more/less units". How many units are shipped to the contractors is detailed down to the day of delivery. Changing the contract(s) on-the-fly is of course possible, but costs a fortune for the contractor so it is never done (unless changes would be in the >50% region for extended periods of time).
