Is shipments i know but that is how the industry is measure MS numbers are also shipped,the 76 million figure is also shipped,is measure that way because most store would not take more systems than they can sold in a month or 2,is the reason why sales are always shipments and not sold is impossible to determine every last sales. For all we know the xbox 360 could be 200k ahead in sales while been 1 million behind in shipments,the problem is the only place where the xbox 360 does great is on US,on Japan is dead and on EU the PS3 does even better than the 360 does in US,is all numbers when you add them all they don't miss. PS3 EU numbers >xbox 360 US numbers. Japan is PS3 all the way vs the xbox 360. And PS3 US numbers > 360 EU ones.. How can the xbox 360 can keep an advantage facing sales like this.? Is impossible sooner or latter it would be surpass.[QUOTE="tormentos"][QUOTE="delta3074"]7 million in under 2 months though?, shipped ,yes, SOLD, no way, the wii holds the record for consoles sold in a month at 2 million, also, they don't even know where these figures came from they could just be a forcast, nothiing is official yet 'Its also important to note that its unclear if these numbers were garnered straight from sources at Sony and Microsoft, or are part of IDCs overall forecast.' http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/01/10/report-ps3-surpasses-xbox-360s-worldwide-shipped-totalsts106mat
they are not even official numbers, wait for the release, the 360 still dominates the UK, there are loads of copies of "wonderbook" on the shelves, its not shifting at even £25 as far as i can see.
the sales of both consoles seem pretty crap (70million over six years) when you see facts like these:-

This is the problem with you and other lemming.. The rest of EU >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>UK.. Is not like the PS3 doesn't sell a single console in UK dude,in fact one of the first spike in sales for the new slim reported was UK,but as you may know the rest of EU is way bigger than UK,that like saying the PS3 sell more units in New York,yeah but it loss all other 49 states,this is hole in your argument. And while the numbers are not official,the PS3 landing on 70 million a few weeks after the xbox 360 did,pretty much pain a good picture of how fast the PS3 is catching up now,in the first 6 months more than 1 million advantage,and 360 sales basically never pick up until November when sony worldwide sales also pick up even more. Like i already say EU is now buying more PS3's than US is buying 360,and is easy the xbox 360 is peaking in US,while the PS3 is starting to explode on EU.
