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

Right, and those numbers were in the financials data.

Well that and i'd actually say they tend to use shipped just as much as sold to consumers in PR.

and will label sold to consumers with the tracking agency.  (Also not done in the slide.)
