And this concerns the Xbox 360 how?

tl;dr thread.

But I think that Sony is overshipping to everybody to gear up for new hardware. PS3 Slim Slim anybody? That would be awesome.

Eh? Use some common sense. It's a comparison of how Sony ship a lot more the Q before.

Oh, sorry about that.  So using common sense, Microsoft overships, too.  Just not as much.  And given the context of the OP, Microsoft is shoving it down their throats as well.  Thanks for the clarification.

No? Shipping more units in Q4 will always happen for obvious reasons (again common sense)

The percentages speak for themselves ... it's amazing some people will argue something when it's staring them in the face ..

interesting how you used an EverQuest 2 troll model in your reply to me when my avatar is an EverQuest 2 Iksar :P

Using common sense (again), the OP complained that the Sony was stuffing the channels.  So since console makers will be shipping more units in the 4th quarter, the OP has to also clonclude that Microsoft is also stuffing channels as well.  Why I mentioned Microsoft, because YOU brought them up in the thread, first.  Gratiously, no one else did because it has nothing do to with this thread to avoid flamebait.  It's all common sense.  So calm down, and leave it alone since I just cleaned up this can of worms you started to open.

Where is your proof MS is stuffing channels? Do you even know what that means? It doesn't mean simply shipping to stores and stocking up, it means OVER stocking.

Edit - If I just posted Sony shipment numbers and percentage increases on their own it wouldn't mean anything, you need to compare it to MS figures to see they are overstocking and have done for the last 2 years. And judging by the fact the outshipped MS last Q, they've done it again, and will be outshipped by MS this Q.

Sony are such arseholes forcing all those retailers to take PS3's.

It's a good business move on Sony's part, if I were them I'd do exactly the same.
