So the PS3 shipped 100k units more than the Xbox 360. The difference according to VGC is 500k for the same Q, right?

My numbers might be wrong though.

You are basically saying Sony lied with their 4.2mio number?

There is no magic way they could have sold through everything they made by Dec 31. Given the 7.8mio combined number, my estimates of a few weeks ago of 4.6mio PS4s manufactured (and consequently 3.2mio PS3s) seems to be correct. Which could also mean X360 and PS3 sell-through is roughly on par by end of 2013.

WHAT?! Hell no!

4.2 million PS4s shipped in this Q --> 3.6 million PS3s shipped for this Q.

From Oct. - end of December

3.6 million PS3s shipped // according to VGC 2.7 million consoles sold to consumers
3.5 million Xbox 360s shipped // according to VGC 2.2 million consoles sold to consumers.

 

So there is 100k difference for the shipments, but 500k for the sold through numbers. This is not logical. That was my point. I never doubted Sonys numbers.
