Ok i just noticed something with the PS3 numbers which don't add up. Or it could just be me being a mong!

They just said on the same quarter last year that PS3 numbers are down 0.2m.

Meaning for the same quater last year PS3 shipped 6.5m. Because if it did 6.3m adding 0.2m = 6.5m, right?

BUT

We now go look at the VGC numbers for the period from October to december 2009

6.9m PS3's sold.....

So even by Sony's own words VGC had it over-tracked by at 400k in the oct-dec quarter of 2009 http://www.vgchartz.com/hwtable.php?cons[]=PS3&reg[]=Total&start=40097&end=40181

 

Which means those additional 400k did not exist. They were not made thus not included in the shipped numbers.

Is that right?


Oct -Dec 2011 has 360 and 7.2 yet it shipped 6.3

my explianation for the slight variations is that consoles from the previous Q have been sold during the holidays 

but for MS it doesnt add up b/c they were supply constrant Q july-sep there must not have been many Q july-sept consoles to have sold 1M more then there shipped Q Oct-Dec
