so let me see if i get what your saying, VGC on the day they released the quarters shipping numbers (which is a month after they stop counting for that quarter) only had 300K units free the number of free units im interested in is the number for the date the tracking for the quarter information ends, im betting that was more then 300k. by the time the numbers are out for us a month later who know MS could have holding shipments for the start of the next quarter and pumped a few hundred thousand out.
do you have the exact end date of the quarter in question, vgc listed as ltd and MS ltd. not the date the report was released but the date they stopped counting for the report
edit sorry for the slow reply got caught up in minecraft

VG had the 360 sales at about 300k less then the amount MS said they shipped, and then a month or so later (not sure when just heard about it) they add 1 million to the 360 sales because of under tracking 4 years ago or something, so if they added it at any point before the shipped numbers for 360 came in, VG would have shown 700k more 360s sold then MS said were shipped (even if it sold that much in a month that would mean there are no 360s left in stores at all), and there were no reported shortages for 360s, where there were reported shortages of ps3s which had 2 million more shipped then VG had sold, which means VG chartz numbers are way off and inconsistent, as for the date of the report http://scrawlfx.com/2010/04/xbox-360-reaches-40-million-sold the article says april 23

thats for last 3rd quarter (srd q 2010) which ends for MS on march 30th sells through at the time on VGC are listed at 39.119k shipping from MS at 40.2k seems like a fair gap for me.
april 23 is when it was reported not when the figures are for.
year for MS ends in june which is the Q i thought you were talking about earlier, hence why i mentioned they might be running it dry to make next years shipments look better. got another one for me

How do you know exactly what VG had it at back then, I remember it being .3 million or at least under a million, and even still your forgetting that they under-tracked it by 1 million 4 years ago and then added it a few months later, so thats still next to none in stores, when ps3 had the shortages with 2 million (plus the extra month) apparently in stores, so yeah anyway you look at it VG is wrong, they seem to be giving 360 more sales then it has and ignoring alot of ps3 sales
|
vgc has an adjustments thread, please find it in there if you would. i looked up your number, and traced it. i do not remember the point in time your talking about, where it was over/under by 300k i do recal a major adjust ment for all three consoles this summer do to under tracking across the board around year end for ms (june)
edit there were ps3 shortages this year? hmm i dont remember that. last year yes lots of them sporadically all year, but this year?

maybe I'm thinking of the wrong fiscal report, the one that had ps3 behind by 2 mil and it got alot of press, I remember there being ps3 shortages around that time too, and again even with all you said I'm not seeing how VG chartz is accurate, they seem to be greatly biased towards the 360, I'm pretty sure next shipped numbers we get from MS and Sony will have a difference of 4-5 million at the most, instead of the 6-7 VG chartz has, when that happens would you maintain that Sony is over shipping again, for the 3rd or 4th time according to VG chartz
