Shipped = sold for the manufacturer. Yeah, Sony would be no. 1 if they manage to sell these numbers to Africa. The point is, you have to find someone buying these consoles. console: money: So you have to find the retailers buying you consoles, because they think they will sell them. That is the rough part. So MS SOLD their stuff to retailers. 67.2 million consoles shipped and sold to retail. VGC said that 65.3 million consoles were sold from retailers to consumers. That means according to VGC there are 1.9 million consoles sitting at differnt retailers around the world. This is way too much. 1 million seems reasonable, because this is the average level of stock for the past 2 years at this time of the year. Actually it is just under 1 million. I hope I was able to clear things up. |
The problem is now days with Nintendo releasing european sales figures, we now know almost 100% of video game market. And on top of that Wii and 360 doesnt even come close to PS3 in developing countries. So must likely MS overshipped unless Europe sales are undertracked which doesnt seem likely.
