Probably a little of both overshipping and undertracking. Whats the big deal? You guys just love to bitch and argue with each other and I'll have none of that thanks.

no one is saying that the 3.5m is sold but clearly shops would not have ordered as much stock if they did not need it, do we need to explain it again to you??

the fact that the shipment exceeds what the source alone thought pretty much confirms that vgc has underestimated ps3 once again, end of the story is 2.6m ps3's is too many to have in warehouses and shelves, like it or not it's true

I wouldn't bother with it if I were you. Obviously, he isn't going to think about this rationally.

thanks

EDIT: THOSE 40 odd people who voted no are in clear denial, there is no way that Sony would allowed to stuff the channels this long without going unnoticed!!

this long?? If you actually looked into European shops, you would see _a lot_ of PS3 boxes now compared to a few weeks ago... This is the time Gran Tourismo 5 was supposed to arrive. And all the football games. And Move. Yes there is some channel stuffing going on and there is no need to make significant changes in the numbers here.

These sales are from Q2 (not Q3, as in now). I very much doubt retailers would have purchased them that far in advance. They will likely be in the Q3 report.
