Anyway, away from the pointless little mini argument thing.

 

I think these are the previous shipment numbers just being quoted as being sold. As Sony do. All the time.

 

Can't wait for the new shipment numbers though!!

it isnt pointless, its at the very heart of the site and its numbers.

We really need to discover why there is a larger gap between Sony shipped v sold thru retail than Ninty or MS.... if for no other reason to stop the constant crap that comes from it.


The answer is probably developing markets as vgchartz has already undertracked PS2 (and PSP) for years I wouldn't be surprised that the same happens to PS3. For example last quarter Sony shipped more PS2s than MS did X360s and yet we have X360 outselling PS2 weekly by big margin. I understand though that it's hard to track developing markets. In some cases probably pretty impossible.
