Sony's official "shipped" numbers are about 4 million higher than VGChartz's "sold" numbers. It could mean that VGChartz has failed to track more recent sales... or it could mean that Sony is counting shippings that aren't really sales to retailers (such as shipping replacement units, for instance). The official "shipped" numbers are the basis for the claim that PS2 is still ahead.
But anyway, if the PS2 is still ahead, it's only ahead due to sales in the "other" regions, at least based on VGChartz numbers. Not sure what this means - is there really an extra ~12 million sold in the "other" regions, or is that just how VGChartz "corrected" the worldwide number?
