The end of September ship totals was 33.5m for x360. VGC sales for Oct 03 - 31,962,871.
The end of December ship totals for PS3 are 33.5m. VGC sales for Jan 02 - 30,850,496.
And there were some shortages for 120gb PS3 model in NA during January.

So PS3 is there, where x360 was in September. That is VERY close.

So PS3 undertracked by 500-800k?

Sony still forecasts a $330 million operating loss for the current fiscal year. They are expecting to have a net loss of $770 million.

gamings_best your post looks ridiculous when you consider that Sony themselves aren't expecting a profit for the year (as someone else already pointed out).

Bottomline, we can all agree on is that PS3 is most definitely undertracked.

Why?  Apparently when the Sony exec said they sold 31 million consoles they meant sellthrough.

2.5 million PS3's isn't THAT hard to believe out there.

http://vgchartz.com/hwtable.php?cons[]=PS3&reg[]=Total&start=37472&end=40181

Sony (Shipped) - 33.5 m

Vgchartz (Sold) - 30.8 m

Remaining - 2.7 m ?

Pretty hard to believe cause PS3 had shortages, right ?

With shortages (120GB model) in the US??? I don't think.

This difference in shipped/shipping and sold isnt anywhere near as serious as people think:


The PS3 has sold 1.2m, averaging 300k per week since the end of 2009.

The 360 has sold 0.81m averaging 202k per week since the end of 2009.


The PS3 shipped v VGC is around 2.8m or 9 weeks stock

The 360 shiped v VGC is around 1.9m or 9 weeks stock


Is this hard to believe still?

Going by the same logic, Wii should be at 64.5m or so then. Big deal right there

And you can't say that Wii is selling out as an excuse because we have no confirmation of it and the same is said about PS3. Nor can't you say that Nintendo shipment figures go a different way since the same could be applied for PS3 or X360. What now?

The Wii has more demand... which means at any given time there is going to be less product on the shelves then PS3 or 360.

Also, you specifically have a Sony exec saying 31 million.

With lack of the 120GB model in the US??? I don't thing so.

Sure it is... A sony executive just said yesterday that they sold 31 million consoles.
