How does the 2 Million shipped compare to VGchartz Numbers?

If you mean how much VGC sold in the same period: ~1.7m


Thanks. Does this mean that PS3 is understracked?

Seems to be on track. 300k on shelves is reasonable, maybe a little overtracked imo.

No, you are assuming that at the start of the quarter there were no PS3's on shelves. If VGC is right, as of 30 Sep 13 there were 300k more PS3's on shelves than there was at the end of June. Given the relative steady state of PS3 sales, it is unlikely that retailors decided to stock up on additional PS3 units this quarter than they had the previous quarter. Therefore, if anything, it is an indication that PS3 sales may be undertracked, unless stock was short at the end of June (unlikely given its the slowest quarter).
