lol, you are quite possibly, the weirdest poster.
| kowenicki said: it is SHIPPED.... but 2.5m sat in inventory seounds a lot to me. |
I agree, 1.5m is certainly doable, but 2.5m sounds a lot
Good joke. There certainly are not 39 Million households with Xbox 360s at this time.
Additionaly, maybe Ballmer confused "shipped" with "made". Though given the past failure rates, I'd assume they made way more than 39 Million. Of course that is a number they'll never tell us.

what? why? what happened in CES? i missed it.
- Wasteland - The Mission.
| Seece said: 39+ is higher than I expected. and I don't buy that they are clearing inventory ... 9 months before a potential release date? possibly 11 ....? nah. |
true story.
Don't get me worng, VGC did an awesome job with the PS3 numbers. Probably the biggest success for VGC ever. Now it looks like they undertracked the XBox 360 a bit.
Last financial results (Q1 2010) VGC underestimated the Xbox 360 shipments by 200k and did not adjusted anything. It is understandable, because 200k is not that big deal.
Now it looks like there are 2.5 million consoles @ retail 2 weeks after xmas... Please notice that Steve Ballmer said "more than 39 million Xbox 360s" Even with the one week of data missing there might be like 2.2 million consoles at retail according to VGC.
the new release date for the speculated SKU (we don't even know if there will be a new SKU at all! This is just a guess made be TheSource.) is 10 months away... why should they clean inventory in January for a holiday release?
I think the Xbox360 might be undertracked by 400k - 500k units.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
The really interesting question is: What is the actual install base of 360 at present?

Nothing, that is what is so baffling.
| ioi said: It is shipped and as people have said we have yet to add this week's numbers which will bring inventory down to about 2m which is reasonable. |
The boss speaks... and also provides the very obvious answer, so good job! Certainly within the 10% margin
