Not sure if it's been mentioned already but for what it's worth, personally I think that Microsoft is shipping right where they probably want to be. If anything, I think retailers have probably known about the new models for the PS3 and likely don't want to be stuck clearing them out, so they have intentionally ordered less.

The 360 might be slightly undertracked but not as much as indicated by shipping discrepancies.

Except there is no way retailers would know 6 - 12 months in advance so that doesn't really work for the figures here does it? and secondly the release of the new version is apparently delayed due to too high stock of existing PS3's in the channel. 

and for your last sentence.... how can you possibly know that and what is that statement based on?

*Face palm* Please stop spreading FUD. Sony themselves have said supply has been low for a while due to the Tsunami which disrupted production and the new slim PS3 is not being delayed due to having too higher stock, that was just a baseless rumour.

so when is it out then?....  and why is the PS3 the only tech device in short supply because of a Tsunami that took place over a year ago? 

Oh look

Japan’s tsunami supply chain comeback

By George Olcott and Nick Oliver

After the paralysis of the global supply chain caused by the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March, there have been the inevitable calls for a rethink of global, just-in-time supply systems. Some predicted that the disruption would last until the end of the year, if not longer. But just four months on, Japan’s recovery is taking place with remarkable speed, in large part because of the unusual brand of co-operative capitalism that underpins the tight-knit and remarkably resilient Japanese business system.

Figures last Friday revealed that Japan’s industrial production had risen for the third month in a row, with auto manufacturers reviving especially strongly. Mitsubishi Electric also announced better than expected first-quarter profits, and has revised upwards its earnings estimates for this year. Other companies have responded strongly too: Hitachi, much of whose domestic production capacity is located in the area most affected, was almost fully operational by the end of March, while Hitachi Port, crippled by the disasters, reopened on April 3.

When Sony themselves sight that the Tsunami disrupted production in their own financial report then yeah it's a fact it happened, and you'll get the exact PS3 slim release date on the 14th of August at Gamescon.
