I'm confused with the numbers we keep seeing on VGC. It appears as if the shipments are still selling out rapidly and we know Sony can produce at least 1 million consoles a month ... So how do we then arrive at a figure of 140,000 for the week? I know it's worth considering the Japanese launch but I still don't think that accounts for these numbers.


Easy, Sony shipped 4,2 mi last year.

When they anounced that number in early January we all assumed they shipped more than that, ~ 5mi. 

So, in theory Sony had ZERO consoles to sell the first 2 weeks of January. And we know that was not the case, there were many units WW for whole month. Unless, of course, Sony counts their shippment very differently than Microsoft.

A interesting way to figure out if there are new batches from factory is if the new consoles still require the mandatory day one update. Or just look at the firmware version.


Holy shit dude stop living in that bubble. Sony sold 4.2 million consoles, not shipped. Either go educate yourself on what sold-through means or stop talking about things you have no clue of.

There aren't a lot of people on this site trying so hard to be so wrong.
