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?

I think the ship vs sold gap will be really high, tbh. The stock in some European stores is insane, it seems (and now in USA as well).
@seece: We just talked about this in another thread. Ethomaz remembered the exact numbers

They didn't lie. They tell you what they ship at that moment in time which is usually weeks after the Q has ended, so no they're not going to be the same.
I love how you "thought this all along" based on what? exactly what information do you have to come to the conclusion they've sold 2.8m but not 3m? You know you sound ridiculous right?
