Here they are: 
Stock doesn't magically go from the production line to the retailer within seconds. I'm a Logistics Manager, and I deal with the problems of the global supply chain crisis every day. My warehouse just took in 6 container loads yesterday (this is a lot for a small warehouse staffed by a total of 4 people) from the NY port that have to be shipped by road to South Carolina because the port in Charleston is so overburned it's actually faster to get the material delivered to our plant in SC by unloading in NY than shipping directly to the port in SC. If you don't understand the distinction between "shipped units" and "sold units" don't frequent a website that tracks sales. Not everything is a conspiracy against Sony. Every console manufacturer is being affected by the global supply chain disruption and the semiconductor chip shortage. There's no need for you to accuse VGChartz of trying to make Sony look bad just because for some reason you are personally offended by the weekly numbers you see. By your logic, we should already be tracking Sony's projected but unmanufactured units as sold units as well. Why not lose all sales credibility and post a banner on the front page of the site proclaiming PS5 has already achieved 100 million sales just for funsies? Because that's not how this site tracks console sales for any hardware manufacturer, that's why. There's no agenda here.

LMAO Sony shipped means the retailer has them in their warehouse. They're not on boats and planes. You think when Sony does their financial reports and reports the amount of consoles they shipped It's still being delivered? They've already been sold to retailers and are stocked. In PS5 case this generation, all are sold out. So shipped is sold. |
It must be true cuz vgchartz told them so.
But anyways. The most I would give them is a couple of days from warehouse to store shelf. Not the ridiculous 3 weeks they have here.
