So shipping is now selling?
So if Sony is suddenly shipping 1389672342 Million Units to africa they are Number 1?
Its kinda funny...M$ only has to ship stuff while the other 2 have to actually SELL their stuff ;)

Welcome to VGC.
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:
1st: Manufacturer --> retailer
2nd: retailer --> consumer
money:
1st: retailer --> manufacturer
2nd: consumer --> retailer
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 with your point is that Microsoft have just released a new star wars sku, and do you actually have any idea what so ever how many extra hundreds of thousands of those Microsoft shipped into the retail channel before the end of the quarter??? Was it 200,000? 300,000? 400,000? even 500,000?

lol what do you smoke ? That's a special edition bundle. To give you an idea about these shipments I'll let you know that the previous Call of Duty Xbox 360 bundles were sold out at under 100k.
so the answer to your question would be ~75k.
