The thing is with this gap i think as more evidence is released we are seeing that Sony might have messed up a little and those numbers are misleading. Because Sony themselves this year said they expect just 7% of the market in Germany this year while expecting 360 to have 14%. Which means Sony themselves for 2010 said 360 will outsell PS3 by 2 to 1 in Germany. So we know that the two biggest regions for gaming in Europe (UK and Germany) have 360 above PS3. Which means what other countries in europe could make up that 3m difference? It looks more and more likely Sony simply either over-shipped or maybe got their numbers wrong, it wouldn't be the first time a company has done that.
At the end of the year Chart Track will release the numbers. I expect that were see numbers to be in line with what VGC have. Why do i think that? Because in Sony's recent report they announced for the past 3 months how many consoles they sold/shipped. If you add up the numbers on here for that period you see VGC was about 300k out. Since we had adjustments recently i imagine the number will be a lot closer. Which means VGC and Sonys figures for the period are in line with each other. WHich just makes the additional 3m gap thing look bogus in my opinion.

They overshipped?
How?
I mean they sell/sold the 120gb ps3s for 300 just like the 160 gb versions, that means they hadnt much left at retailers

Nah i got my numbers wrong as the guy who posted the figures didn't explain what they were for. It indicated it was market share for the year however at closer examination it is actually predictions of how much each console will decline on the previous year. Which is pretty strange that a company would do all that work for their competitors but there you go. So ignore what i said above. Until we get the numbers from track at end of year we won't know how close vgc is i guess.
