Retailers are Sony's customers, not you. They are able to track their shipments as they fulfill orders and rely on tracking services like NPD and Media Create for the number of consoles purchases at retailers by end users.

So basically what you're saying is that retailers paid Sony for the shipments they received....which in turn Sony made revenue off of that, right?! Right...

Same thing with Xbox and the 5 1/2 million, correct?

Precisely. There are agreements and contracts between distributors (Sony, MS, and Nintendo) if they can't move the stock, but that isn't a major issue with these products due to lack of channel stuffing (overshipping).
