Well, they should have internal figures for retail shipments aswell as production shipments, so I doubt they have to adjust anything. The PS3 figure in the quote is retail shipment through 2007 and he says sold so it really should be retail shipments for PS2 & PSP too. Reeves said new global hardware sales figures will be revealed in Tokyo next week. He reiterated that by the end of 2007 more than 10.5 million PS3s, 34 million PSPs and 127 million PS2s had been sold around the world.
Tracking back from the 127m figure would put their retail shipments at 115.62m through March 2007 compared to reported production shipments of 117.89 through the same period. There's a margin of error of 500k from the rounded 127m, so it suggests there were 2.27m +/- 500k more PS2s produced than sold to retailers when they stopped reporting production shipments. |
2,27M seem a bit low for replacements under warranty when you ship over 120M units. Although those warranties might also be send through the retail channel and in those cases they might be included in shipment numbers. Anyway, if the numbers are low on Vgchartz, does anybody have a suggestion in what region it is low?
