Ok, I'll give you the date being Nov 4th as opposed to the 16th; I'll concede to that. However, what does that change as far as my point? They shipped 70m (sold to shops) on Nov 4th, they've now sold (to consumers) 70m+ as of December 8th... |
The shipments were from October first of all. Secondly VGC usually has the PS3 at 1.2 million less than shipped. In October they have 2.2 million less. That means Sony had to of shipped 1 million plus what they sold in october to have 2.2 million less than shipped. Using VGC data that means Sony shipped 2.14 million units in October. In a quarter that sees most of it's sales in the 3rd month which will only see 5 or so million shipped do you really think Sony would ship most of it's units the first month of the quarter? I think it would make more sense to ship something like 1 million in October, 2 Million in November and 2 million in December rather than 2.14 million in october, 2 million in November, .86 million in December
