Thanks guys, you didn't disappoint while I slept. Cooking turned up for this quarterly posting session I see.

It is so clear that it is undertracked. Deal with it.

Awww look you mentioned my name. And the usual suspects that try to post their agenda otherwise didn't disappoint either. Can't wait for Nintendo's and Sony's fiscal reports to come out which will shed a little more light on what's really going on.


Not sure how sony will help.  They dont even tell us their own numbers.  Nintendo doesnt help either, they only tel us ewhat we already know... i.e. the main markets.

Instead of being aggressive and smart, why not come up ith your explanation as to why the channel is awash with 360's? 

We have enough out there until June apparently.  Sales are below 100k and given the current climate of falling sales for the current gen this will get worse. 

 

Well if Sony have truely stopped production of PS2's then there's a chance that they'll have also stopped shipping them by now so the number they give could just be PS3's shipment. As for Nintendo they'll show if any over or under tracking has taken place in Europe which will help.

Beyond that for all you, or anybody knows, who's to say that with the impending release of Microsoft's next console they didn't decide to push out a big shipment of 360's so they could concentrate on producing the new next gen Xbox this year.

Who's to say Microsoft aren't about to drop the 360's price and are making sure the market has enough supply.

But even if you want to assume everything is just undertracked then you've failed to take in to account that if previous months numbers are wrong then the current weekly numbers are also wrong, meaning the 360 is selling more than 100,000 a week completely changing the amount of days worth of supply in the channel.
