Only 400k on shelves? Seems very low. 360 overtracked by at the very least several hundred k.
According to vgc, 360 has outsold it's total shipments from march by 700k, which is very doubtful.

Looks like 360 has been undertracked in july-sep 2012 and overtracked afterwards.

Wil be interesting to see what sony says it has shipped and sold.

Not necessarily.  Weakening the supply chain ready for the new slimmer model. I expect sully for all consoles to fall dramatically now as retailers start to turn attnetion away.  There is simply no readon to hold large stock any more, weekly sell through is poor.

Sony wont help.  They never tell us discrete shipments now for ps3 v ps2 and they have never told us what has been sold through.

 

I guess that's true, but 400k is the least amount ms has ever had in the supply chain, even when they launched a slim model.

It's not that there's no reason to hold large stock...it's that there are just so many places that carry 360s worldwide. Just BB,Walmart,Target,Sears, Gamestop have ~20k+ stores.... 1500 bj,costco,sams. This barely covers how many retailers and bigbox stores actually carry products.

If 400k is true, it would mean less than 3 boxes per store, because if distributor warehouses were empty or low, they would have ordered more...or we would have seen news of shortages.
