Not sure that's a good estimate to be on shelves. That's as of december 31st, so 3.7m (btw where is everyone getting 3.7m?) Supposedly, vgc has it with 300k sold jan 7, so wouldn't it be 3.4m? anyway, It's a massive number to be on shelves somewhere.

There are two explanations, undertracked, or channel stuffed. Given that the new ps4 came out, there could be a bit more on shelves than we'd normally expect, but 2m+ would be pushing it. It's likely to be 1.5m+ undertracked.

we are using Sony's official announcement in january, saying they hit 53.4m units sold to customers as of jan 1st http://www.sie.com/en/corporate/release/2017/170105.html

oh, I see, it's also an estimate by sony. 3.7m is an awful lot.
