Ya, and that would make a big difference, how?
If the retailers bought that many units from Microsoft, they would be expected to sell to customers close to that number. Common sense: huge inventory -> huge cost
O no, conspiracies, the retailers teamed up with Microsoft so the retailers can just have a mountain of Xbox360s sitting in their warehouses.
Both vgcharts and nextgenwars can only go with their estimates, and Sony counts the units @ their own warehouse as "shipped".
