Retail agreements can be very complex. I am sure there are retailers like Gamestop that might not actually PAY Sony or MS for the shipments but do every quater depending on how many units are sold. So Sony can continue to send shipments but if the retailer actually did not purchase those shipments and can send supply back if they have to much. Shipped numbers is way to much of a moving target to really depend on as relaible information. Only sold to consumers is worth anything or just look at the how much those divisions make when those quaterly statements come out.

Do you know sony and ms shipped numbers are 100% precise and VG and NPD are estimative don't you??
And of course sony keep sending the hardware without they ever being sold just for braging rights.... i remember this time last year people yelled overshiped for sony consoles and 2 weeks later or less there were shortages news...
It's the miraculous overship shortage that only sony can do, as 2M consoles must be lost in a island or bermuda's triangle...
Get real. Sold through is mch more moving target that get adjusted weekly than shipment numbers... you don't know logic.

You are completely hopeless, when a seller overships and they are not sold within the market-share timeframe those units are not paid for shipped back to the company. Why can you not understand this?

And you believe that they do it every quarter for the last 3 years??? because each one PS3 sold more.
