Tell me how there were >2 millions in stock and MS shipped 1.4M in the next quarter. It doesn't add. The most plausible explanation is those consoles not sold in USA were sold in any other country.

Overshipment, just like Sony over shipped PS3 in 3rd quarter. Here is European 2011 sales.

This EU chart cover 4 big countries, UK, France, Germany and Spain. 

So combining EU chart sales with NPD and Japan last December 2011 360 outsold PS3 by 230k in in those 3 regions. And outside of NA and UK PS3 outsell 360 so actuall difference maybe less.

360 sales: 2.8m WW

PS3: 2.57m WW

There is still around 15-20% of market left which include rest of the world. Australia & Italy ( and rest of EU) where PS3 outsold 360 and Canada where must likely 360 outsold PS3.


It still doesn't add. If MS overshipped 2 million consoles, explain me how they shipped 1.4 millions more the next quarter, retailers don't buy consoles if they have tons in the warehouse, as you imply.


No one said that lmfao.


Learn to read, is in shanbcn post. He's saying that not only there were 2 million consoles unsold, but there are half a million more due to the vgchartz overtracking related to the December NPD... So there are 2.5 million consoles unsold. Do you really believe that in a quarter where MS sells more or less one-one and a half million consoles, with 2.5 millions in the channel, they are going to sell 1.4 million more? It's absurd.
