I think its safe to say the 360 is undertracked here. 200k to 400k. Anywhere between.

Soooo then about 200k undertracked here then?

Nope.


well seeing as vgc had it at around 800k your implying that ms is wrong and vgc is right?

Nope, at this time of year it is normal for MS to have between 0.97-1.31 million xbox360's in the retail chain.

I reckon the PS2 supply is probably about 2m usually (historically of course) at this time of year normally, so I guess thats what it will be too this qaurter...

Does market trends, demand and ongoing expectation mean nothing to you?  you are being wayyy too simplistic on this.

The problem is you have no idea what retail are doing, you have no idea what special incentives Microsoft offer to retailers compared to Nintendo and Sony, you have no idea if different regions throughout the world like to have a different amount in the supply chain compared to other regions, you don't know about Sony's supply problems, or dates of new consoles, dates of prices drops or anything at all. History is used to show that when Microsoft have been selling low they still have always had a large amount in the retail channel at those times, that's a fact wether you like it or not and what you are saying about 'market trends, demand and ongoing expectation' are just your guesses wether you like it or not.
