A) I thought that happened that thread?  They asked the microsoft guy... and he said "yes to our consumers" or somethign like that.

B) Looking at it.  Guess I am wrong.  To be completely honest though, i put the blame on Sony's financial guys.  It doesn't make any sense to change definitions mid document, without actually mentioning that.

Since sales up until that point all = shipped hardware and shipped software + DLC.

 

It's either that or they just assumed they'd sold almost everything except what was in transit and rounded up.

There are a stardart to that...

+ Financial Results is most cases shipped (quarters ends).
+ PR News is most cases estimate sold to consumers (they use NPD, Chart-track,3rd-party trackers, etc)

PR News: Sony sold to consumers 4.2m as Dec 28th
Q3 FY13 Results: 7.8m units shipped combined for PS3 and PS4
