If that is the case, that would put ~2.3M 360s on shelves at the end of 2012. Of course, this is at the end of the holidays, so larger numbers are to be expected. This still equates to the 360 being undertracked by ~300K-500K. You must also take into account that MS dropped the price on almost all the 360 SKUs during the holidays. It wouldn't surprise me if retailers bought more stock at the lower price, as well as enough stock in case the price cut boosted sales greatly during the buying rush. Heck, Amazon still has 3 360 Holiday Bundle SKUs in stock, and it's mid-March.
