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.

the PS2 has sold 146 million units WORLD WIDE according to sony's quarterly figures... and by late october, that number should be 1-1.5 million units higher once they announce their quarterly figures again...
PSP has sold over 65 million
and PS3 had 38.1 million as of june, it's true that markets that only PS products sell are were they are being undertracked, it's more than likely the actual install base is closer to 40 million for ps3 than 39 million right now. I wont be suprised if the quarterly results are near 41 million LTD figures for ps3... and possibly even matching the 360 in quarterly sales even with the slim.
