3 million gap between shipped and sold through seems quite high.

They have a modest goal of shipping 15 million consoles for the fiscal year ending march 2026. They clearly have no reason to overship to hit their target forecast.

I would say its most likely between 2 to 2.5 million.

Again, this is just speculation on my part based on their 15 million target and no real evidence of them overshipping.

The gap has been over 3 million before according to Sony themselves and console manufacturers tend to ship extra stock ahead of the holidays.

It wouldn't always be the case that there would be a minimum of 3 million gap.

Switch 1 gap between shipped and sold is just 1.95 million even after the launch of Switch 2. 

Anyway, still feel that the gap is quite high for the PS5
