sold to retailers.


Which means shipped? right?


Yes, but I am just trying to get rid of that term "overshipped", because you can't do this.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

so, they could ship 3.9m consoles and people said microsoft's only reason why they don't release the console in more countries are massive production issues and the reasons microsoft was talking about are all lies?

sounds plausible...

The reason for not releasing the console is definitely not the huge demand in the tier 1 countries etiher. 3.9 million shipped and 3 million sell-through definitely shows that it is time to increase to country count.

Not sure if you understood what I tried to say but you pretty much underlined what I said. Microsoft could have shipped easily to the small European countries since they know that they are only a very small part for Xbox. But they still didn't do it. Microsoft explained why but people were just like "that are all lies, the reason is that they can't ship enough because of huuuge production problems" which is simply wrong, shipping enough wasn't a problem.

I said it all the way back in october: the numbers simply don´t add up! There should be adjustments in the range of at least 1,5 mn and will probably still place X360 as the second place console after the Wii for 7th generation.


...after the 360 had a year head start over the Wii and PS3.  But...you're fighting over 1.5mn unit scraps, for "bragging rights".  Seems legit... :-/

No bragging rights at all. I wrote it from the neginning in october: I don´t care who is in second place, I only care about the numbers being correct. PS3 numbers have been quite close to their shipment numbers during this year, while X360 has been consistently off. Being a sales site, this discrepency should be quite important to rectify, don´t you think?

Yay. Every quarterly report reminds me just how small the other big 2 are by comparison. :)

Yes, I was thinking this.  How much 6 Billion is in profit for only 3 months.  It is amazing.  How many countries have an annual GDP of less than that?

Then, I realized their quarter revenue is larger than either the entire valuation of Sony or Nintendo.  It is staggering.

Also, so why is it so low on the front page if they have shipped so many?  (Oh, right the unspoken rule, lol.)



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

So those magical Android profits, where are they now? Because they're certainly not in HARDWARE. Oh but wait, the Hardware division profited. I thought it lost $2b annually thanks to Xbox?

Shows how dumb those people were touting that, and here is your proof.
