Why do people automatically think sold should be less than shipped. It can be more or less or the same dependent on the amount in supply at the start of the prior of shipping that is being considered.

For instance...

Supply Jan 1st: 1m
Shipped: 15m
Supply Dec 31st: 0.5m
Sold through: 15.5m

Well according to the 4Q Predictions Thread 360 had supply of 420K to start 2011.

So

Supply Jan 1st: 420K
Shipped: at least 15.2M (66M+ - 50.8M)
Supply Dec 31st: ?? Estimate at 500K
Sold through: ~15.1M

Of course how much over 66M will really tell the story and we will find that out in a couple of weeks.

So you're saying 360 is seeing massive shortages right now?

This time last year they said over 50m sold, and it shipped 50.8m.

They've said 66m+ this year and asked IGN to clarify their article to sold. So perhaps we'll see 66.8 or something

After adjustments VGC showed 50.3m sold... 50.9m shipped... 600k on shelves with supply constrained.

Do you thing the same "supply constrained" happened this year???

Was 50.8m actually, they must have added on that 0.1m they did to every Q after that (mid 10)

But until we get shipments numbers it's all guessing.

66.1m sold to consumers and 66.9 shipped, looks perfectly reasonable to me.

If we confirm he was talking about 66m sold to consumers, why does the shipped gap have to be in the 66 range again? it could be 67.2.
