So 4.9 million PS3's shipped this quarter?

No, it's actually 4,9 million PS3's SOLD.

In their report Sony states they changed the method of reporting hardware and software unit sales from production shipments to recorded sales. They use this method of reporting since their 2nd financial quarter that ended June 2007.

So looking at the PS3 figures in this period, VGChartz states that the PS3 sold more like 3,7 million while Sony states they sold 4,9 million. Both are worldwide sales. Did VGChartz undertracked it that much?


No, you don't understand. Shipped to sony means produced in a factory and shipped to Sony wharehouses.

Sold means sold to retailers and shipped from sony wharehouses to retailer wharehouses.
