I for one dont think anyone stuffs the channels. How people think Sony, MS, Nintendo force retailers to order is beyond me. Retailers order when they need product, yes they may be incented to purchase extra based on a deal made by the manufacturer. Still no product is shipped that retailers dont think helps with the bottom line and cash flow.

Exactly. I mean you can get away with maybe one quarter of stuffing the channel using special offers. But after that, stores are not going to have thousands upond thousands of your product just laying around in their warehouses, just so you can have an impressive shipment number.

So why are Sony fans certain that Sony will outship the 360 when this quarter the 360 will have outsold the PS3 by over 1 million units?

Sony is over their prediction for 15 million shipped... so in the first two quarters they shipped less than 2010... so the last two they needs ship more than 2010... 7 million for Q3 2011 is a good guess (I can't see 360 shipping more than 7 million this quarter).
My maths: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4343728
To be "Slightly Ahead" their prediction they need do ship over 7 million this quarter.
