Using the data below I think we can all agree that logically it doesn't make sense. There is something off in the VGC accounting for hte PS3 overall. However, I don't think it is just being undertracked in Europe, but probably overtracked in other regions.

So, in total VGC isn't off by much, especially not any amount to make anybody scream OMG PS3 IS REALLY WINNING!!!!!

I bet VGC is off by less than 1m worldwide if there were a way to know exactly how much shifted to the end user.

*Data through end of June to compare VGC others/europe with Sony shipped figures.*

	VGC Americas	VCG Japan	VGC Others	VGC % of total sales
PS3	14,310,511	5,307,180	16,164,502	45%

 

Sony Europe	Sony % of total ship	On Shelves in Europe	% of total on shelves
18,000,000	47%	1,835,498	83%

 

VGC Total	Sony Total	On Shelves Total	est on shelves amer/jp
35,782,193	38,000,000	2,217,807	382,309

I disagree greatly

 

SONY ANNOUNCED 38.1 M LTD sales for ps3 as of JUNE 2010

Sony announced a 160GB PS3 today, and it is shipping today, the 120GB model did not receive a discount, which shows to me that there aren't much in stock to allow for a clearence price..

So how does that lead to 2 MILLION  consoles on store shelves? Makes zero sense, and I am not betting, but it would not suprise me if the consumer sales are off.. for ps3
