it's going to be really easy to prove/disprove and in pretty short order.
MS claims 3M as of Dec 31. MS is legally obligated to provide correct shipment numbers in their financials. We know MS had quite a bit of stock on the shelves (especially in europe). as VGCzers we know retail channels can have upwards of ~1M units but with the limited amount of territories and that the US was somewhat supply contraint the end of the year channel probably had ~200K units.
shipment = sellthough + retail.
so if shipment = 3.0M we know they said sellthrough when it was actually shipment.
if shipment is 3.2M+ we know the number 3M number truely was sellthough
when to financials release?
