Three questions:

1- Shipped or sold?
2- Europe or EMEA?
3- Source?

4 - When?

If he's talking about "sold to retailers" which is the same as "shipped" then he doesn't have MS' actual numbers.

Let's assume for a moment that Sony's numbers are accurate. That means in two weeks, MS will probaby have more units sold in Europe than Sony by Sony's count.

Good point. I also just noticed the weirdness of his statement:

“I am confident that in PAL territories our installed base is 300,000 units ahead of Xbox 360,”

He's confident, or he knows?

Well, Reeves mentions internal figures, while MS routinely mentions their data comes from Gfk/Chart-track, so is it possible that Sony has shipped more, but MS has actually sold more?
