does "sold" account for all the broken ones that are replaced? I know of a few people have had up to 9 360's repaired. :) I thought everyone went by the shipped number as its real hard to track how many actually sold.

9? Come on man, that's nuts.

 

As for your question, the answer is no. "Sold" is a retail sales to a customer. If it's being repaired by MS, that's not a new sale.

Do you know the store has to sell the first batch of systems before they can get another order? So how is it possible for one company to ship more and one campany to sell more?

End of Dec 06 - Microsoft had 2.4 million consoles sitting on shelves (10.4 shipped, 8.0 sold).

Those 2.4 million where sold in 2007 and MS didn't stuff the retail channels this time around.
