I agree with Kowen, there was no need for an adjustment to 360 aside from simply where the sold consoles were. 1.5m on shelves would mean that they've specifically ordered quite a lot for their own stores. Maybe they're inticipating a lot of demand after Don's infamous quote. :D


unlikely. There are only about 65 MS stores so even if they each got a ton of 360s it would only account for a small number of the retail stock. As I said in my earlier post odds are you have about 1.5m worldwide thanks to stores like Walmart, Gamestop, Target, and Bestbuy. Worldwide you have a huge number of these stores that need stock.

11,000 Walmarts

6,600 Gamestops

2,900 Best buys

1,800 Targets

It's also important to remember than retail stock doesn't mean on store shelves. Retail stock also includes retail store backrooms, distribution centers, online retailer warehouses.

Interesting.

so how do you account for the supply of the PS3 being around 0.5m most of time accordiong to VGC, especially considering the PS3 is on sale in a lot more markets than the 360?

hint: you're wrong.

That's easy, sold to consumer numbers should probably be lower for PS3 not necessarily that 360 sold to consumer numbers should be higher

 

hint: I'm not saying your wrong or he's right I'm saying he has just as much chance of being right as you do as you are both totally guessing and he is at least using logic and numbers to make an educated guess.
