Sorry to be a nuisance, but can anybody put this in layman's terms for me? I've read people's comments and this seems like a pretty big deal, but I just can't make sense of the numbers.

Basically the Xbox360 was overtracked by 1.2m, Wii by 600k and PS3 by 300k here.

But MS announced they were no.1 WW and that they sold (prob. shipped) 66m, so it's very confusing as to what's going on.

Now that makes more sense, thanks.

So either Europe has developed a new obsession with the Xbox 360, Microsoft were lying, or Microsoft meant shipped and retailers are now building Xbox 360 pyramids?

All these different regions and the difference between shipped and sold is confusing me.

EDIT: Thank you too Shinobi.
