I think it's likely that the numbers that Microsoft released to them, iterated the regions where the units were undertracked. That's just a guess though. I've no idea why they wouldn't receive the same kind of information from Sony though. |
It was based on official SHIPMENTS figure, not breakdown sales through.and in Sony case it was sales breakthrough that took long to be received but still kept 250k undertracking. And I remember at a time in 2011-2012 Ps3 had between 2-3M difference between official shipped and sold in vgc and several pro ms Said Sony was overstuffing the channel (for almost 2 years I heard that), and took long to correct, but x360 numbers happened fast and seeing next shipments figure we can see overstuffing.
