What makes you think they stuffed the channels? 

Also do you assume they shipped most of their consoles to the US? I would assume they shipped more to Europe than they did to the US.

I wrote "likely" in my first post..And I gave the most recent NPD data that suggests that.

For your second point, I wasnt referring to absolute numbers but I was referring to the fact that they shipped significant numbers of units to US irrespective of Europe's numbers and thus could affect the overall shipping number that Sony gave out.

NPD only pertains to the United States though, which is not the PS3's strongest territory, so to be honest it is not a good excuse for why they stuffed the channel. Well, they also have Canadian NPD, but I am not sure if we have numbers for them yet.

As for your second point, what part of the financial reports told you what they shipped to the US? 

Better yet, what exactly informed you of SONY's Q3 shipments because from what I know I doubt anyone on this site knows what they shipped for Q3.

 

Seems like you're just pulling info out of thin air to be completely honest with you and is no different from what we have heard the last 6 months.

1st point - it really comes down to opinion whether the analysis from NPD is a good or bad indicator of stuffing channels.

2nd point - That is because I never said anything specific but merely suggest from a logical perspective that after Europe, America is PS3's second biggest market. Which means that Sony must have shipped a significant amount of units to this market which means that any channel stuffing in america will likely have sigificant effects on the overall shipping numbers that Sony gave.
