Can you define overstuffing the channel... describe exactly how that works for me...  I'm all ears.

Its utter, utter garbage, born of a mind that doesnt understand how retail works.

And have the guts to talk to me direct in future.

 

I don't know how that works, but I'm 100% sure there were a big number of people here that were certain PS3 wasn't selling good and when VGC were severely undertracking PS3 they were always claiming overtracking and the difference between shipping and selling here were Sony forcing retailers to accept PS3 they wouldn't be able to sell... Funny you don't remember the case, you are here since 2007 and were active in sales thread weren't you? Don't remember you defending or attacking the overstuffing at the time, what was your position?

I agree it's utter garbage, and thanks for mentioning.

The only reason I didn't quoted you is because I don't remember your position at the time, so it wasn't an attack at you but at the subject (done in the past by pro MS members and now done by Sony supporter, and both wrong)... Never saw MS saying if it ever included RROD units that were substituted for free (altough we know some users really bought and paid for several x360), but since SW totals and attach ratio is better than PS3 I would say X360 is probably undertracked globally (or really X360 bought even more SW per HW than what we have, and even tough the domination in USA explains higher attach ratio I don't think it is so much bigger that X360 is overstuffed). But since last quarter shipment were really small MAYBE MS pushed for more X360 stock than was sold during Holidays (but that will be sorted in next shipments), but yes the idea of 4M on shelves is quite crazy.

So if anyone is saying X360 should have lower numbers in here but claimed PS3 undertracked in the past and vice-versa that was the target of my post, if you took it personnal too bad. When I antagonize you I do it directly and you already saw it.

He literally made the comment you were suggesting someone would say, in this thread about the X360's numbers, which is why he's faux-outraged. 

So my subconcious memory is better than I tough and concluding by Kowen answer he don't have  knowledge of retail work? I'll stop using his tips on stocks.
