I'd say its a combination of vgchartz doing some undertracking and Jack Trenton doing some rounding. The discrepancy can't be that big between the numbers. 

I have to agree with this.  Jack was probably rounding some.  Real numbers are probably more like 18-19 mil.  Which would also mean a little undertracking on VGC.

a little? More like a million or more? Like their last figures showed that VGC was down by over 2 million consoles compared to the report...

but they aren't just going to come up with fake numbers for markets they don't track, which is why I believe vgchartz did not adjust ps3 sales, that and they probably believe sony counts refurbished models as sales..

After the adjustments, VGC has sell-through down to 1,552,971 compared to Sony's shipped numbers, which is almost an identical gap with the Wii. VGC has Americas at 15,652,688 to date, with 2,292,231 units sold WW since the April-June quarter. I can pretty much guarantee that VGC will have sell-through for the quarter below sold numbers(for at least 3 consoles if not all 5) as that's just how it usually goes. If you tack on another half-million to the gap you're almost exactly at 20M units shipped in the Americas IF all of those sell-through units should have been in the Americas AND all of the shipped but not sold units are in transit to the Americas.

There's just simply no way it's 20M. If VGC is undertracking, then it would raise the sell-through numbers, but the gap to sold numbers would shrink just as much.
