Units shipped is units sold. Sony doesnt send the systems to retailers in good faith. The retailers buy the systems from Sony. So yes, I believe this stat

@Kim_Naroz if what you are saying was true then there would be a ton of 60gb ps3's floating around at retailers, but there arent,.

And all of the systems that are made are sold before they are even made. so yeah, they are considered sold when they are shipped. Do you think that sony ships systems to gamestop based on trust and goodwill? I think not, Gamestop buys the systems, hence the term SOLD.

On top of this Sony, since the start of the system has had a hard time keeping the ps3 in stock world wide. So where is this ficional warehouse you are speaking of?

And as far as home is concerned.
A. less than 50 percent of people in America have the internet and we are the most advanced nation in the world, and since you have to have the internet to download home.....

B. Alot of people just dont like gaming online. So Home doesnt appeal to them at all.

Do research and educate your self before spouting off at the mouth
