time comes companies start to ship less. you don't ship the same with 25% or something less sales in the first 9 quartes or the year compared to the same timeframe the year before. if i remember correct, microsoft shipped already too much last year which meant they had to ship less the first months of this year because of enough stock.
so, shipping less because it was already too much last year and shipping even more less because the whole year was much smaller results in? probably less as 6m shipped?
or maybe they even shipped too much, what does this change for vgc tracking of sold to customers consoles? vgc even overtracked the 360 in usa, do you expect to see 1.5 too less tracked consoles for rest of world? seriously?
i mean, it's not as amazon or anyone else will say to microsoft "hey we can never sell what you ship us but we build a whole new depot just for xbox 360s to let you ship as much as you want"
maybe i understood your post wrong, no clue.
