Well with MS stuffing the channel of course the shipment number will be off. I'd wait until we get Nintendo's Europe charts for sellthrough though. PS3 still needs about a 400k adjustment in Aus/NZ.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

HA, knew you'd come up with that. We have no proof they've stuffed the channel, even if they did, NOT to the extent of your ridiculous shipment predictions.

We already know they sold to consumer more untis over Q4 than PS3, so you literally, can't use that excuse. Nice try though, be a big man and admit your prediction was awful (and bias)

Just for reference for those wonder, if Sony ship around the 7m mark like we're all expecting it too, Postoffice expected 1.3m less than that  (5.7m)

Mmmm? What makes you say that? Like I said we need Nintendo's European charts to verify that, as well as Canadian and Australian NPD. I'm not really talking about the specific shipment or sellthrough numbers, simply the absolute gap between the two consoles. My sellthrough prediction assumed adjustments that I knew we needed in Aus/NZ, Which obviously aggragated before Q4 2011. And likely a bit more for Q4 as well in that region considering the crazy numbers PS3 was pulling there.

I'm talking about your shipment gap prediction of 0.8 being whack.

Even in Q1 if MS ship 1m from retailers ordering in too many units over xmas, and Sony ship 2.5m to reach their 15m tagret they have, it still puts the gap at 2m~, so yeah, you can't use the stuffing excuse. It'll all be ironed out after Q1.
