Its actually pretty good as the profit is up roughly 7%, despite the price cuts and the halo3 release in the quarter last year.

Nice!

$183m in profit despite price drop
2.2m consoles shipped in previous quarter.

What did Microsoft ship in the same quarter in 2007? I want to say it was around 1.5m, but I don't know?

Major increase for Microsoft, since Q1 has always been their worst for shipping consoles - The same quarter in 2006 only saw 900,000 units shipped.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

So the difference between consoles shipped and sold was around 1.3 million. If same is true for PS3 then Sony shipped around 2.6 million consoles last Q.

Not only is your number incorrect but you can't make a comparison estimate like that based on such data.
