I already gave data in mid-July when Sony Spain announced they had sold 194 000 machines to customers (220 000 counting Portugal ) .
Sony Spain usually gives sold to customers numbers when they talk with the press .In fact ,in many interviews with for example the site I linked ,meristation ,Armstrong has showed to have weekly sales data not only for their machines but for the rivals as well .
And Georges Fornay when he announced more than 200K PS3 sold in France two weeks ago said explicitly "sold to customers " and backed its data with GFK numbers .
This "shipped " thing must go ,its growing tired .
Its sold ,simple as that .
