someone from this site said that its because  sony likes to overship alot 

doesn't make sense, sony doesn't ship it for free. Retailers have to place an order (buy them).


i know ,  next finnancial reports will be interesting

this.

 

Sony cant force a shop to take extra PS3's if they do not need them

The majority of the likely differentiation comes from Canada, Latin America, and Asia. All of which are difficult to track. Even if a region is clearly off it's hard to justify adjustments when we have no basis to know what they should be adjusted to. When we get an update from Gfk or NPD then there will be adjustments. Plus we don't track consoles given away for free which would account for something like 50k in Australia I believe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Given away for free? What do you mean by that? I can see where your reasoning comes from when it comes to the difficulty to track in the regions you've mentioned, but i mean at the same time we had pretty accurate 360 #'s as well as Big N numbers (shipped vs sold) but when it comes to Sony there is quite the gigantic gap which doesnt make any sense to me.

 

Either Sony has a mojor issue with there numbers , or  else Sony is way over shipping there PS3's or Vgchatz needs to lower there numbers fro 360 and Wii.

 

Should have put this in the previous response, but as for the "free" #'s do you mean the one's they give away with some of the larger LCD's? Just asking because if thats the case wouldn't they count that as a sale considering the store has already purchased the PS3 and is trying to sell the T.V?

ioi , if you have time to comment or explain why there's over 39 million shipped vs 37 and change million sold it would be really cool :)

Yes, that's what I was referring to. You'd have to ask ioi why the policy is that way, I mostly agree you. And at least part of the reason for the unusually large ship vs. sold gap is the PS3 just launched in several countries recently (Vietnam, Philippines, Brazil). Since there's no previous sales history from some regions to sample from it's almost impossible to gauge how much is selling there on a weekly basis.
