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


Hmmm...  I just she was kinda hot so I though I'd spice up this thread a little.

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 ..

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.

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.

Where is the OP's proof that Sony is stuffing the channels?  I never accused Microsoft.  It was just a logical conclusion because of the OP's complaint and the info you presented.  Personally, I DON'T think both Sony and Microsoft are stuffing channels.  But if you want to falsely point the finger at me by not accepting my valid hypothetical accessment (wich I do not subscribe to) based on the context of this thread and the info you provided to derail the common sense everyone has displayed proving the OP incorrect, that cool.  I'm a big boy.

One question to the people that work at retails, who decides how many consoles are ship to their stores? I know where I work, the manager decides how many items we need depending on demands, comapanies don't just send us things like that.

On the good news, it seems Sony is in for some huge shipping numbers, that day we have been waiting for is getting ever so close.

He's basing a thread on anecdotal evidence so not the best idea I agree, better than just saying it without a shred of anything though. and I'm sure this isn't a secluded situation .... Sony ship a LOT before xmas.

I don't think I have ever hidden I wanted Sony to outship MS, but shipping is not sold to customer, right? Move has outship Kinect, but Move is way behind in sales. I just want Sony to ship so much, some shipments end up at my house.

epic tragedy on huge proportions.... you know what the shop would not have bought that many ps3's unless they was needed for the holidays, shops are not charity's now stop with this annoying sony overships propaganda

 

 

                           Xbox360                                   PS3
Q3 2008                      2,2                                   2,4
Q4 2008                         6  - 172,73%                 4,5 - 87,50%

Q3 2009                      2,1                                   3,2
Q4 2009                      5,2 - 147,62%                  6,5 - 103,13%

 

congratz you managed to prove ps3 has shipped more in the year 2009, also note last year was the slim release ps3 slim was in high demand last year which is why so many ps3s was shipped....

also in game they had a higher pile of x360s ready to go does that mean x360s are overshipped, nope it just means over here in the uk, x360 sells more:-p

And this concerns the Xbox 360 how?

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

So how is Sony shipping only 200,000 more in '08 prove they are overshipping when they have more regions to ship to?  Especially when you see MS more than matched that the following qaurter.  And posting '09 numbers just shows the Slim and pricecut were a hit.  So, in your own words, "use some common sense."
