It is truly bizarre how much glee the xflop fanbitches get from the
sales of Wii, but then, it is to avoid facing the ass-whipping fact
that xflop 3-shitty sales have not grown and gone flat. Micro$haft
will give them a turd-wrapped lie, tell them it is chocolate fudge and
the xflop fanbitches will gratefully eat it up.

http://www.informationarbitrage.com/2007/04/microsoft_phili.html

"Further, it has come to light that Microsoft, in an effort to
embellish its perceived momentum in gaming and its window into family
rooms the world over, has been using the oldest and shabbiest of
retailer tricks to juice sales figures for the Xbox 360: channel
stuffing. No, you say, Microsoft couldn't be doing such a thing. This
is a relic of old-line consumer products companies like Philip Morris,
or fraudsters like Miniscribe who literally shipped bricks in lieu of
disk drives to hit sales targets. Well, the Internet has gotten pretty
heated up on this issue, particularly as the inevitable boom-bust
results of this tactic are now coming home to roost."

http://worldcadaccess.typepad.com/gizmos/2006/12/microsoft_milli.html

"Carl Howe confirms that Microsoft is overstating its XBox 360 sales
by a million, through use the of channel stuffing. He explains how in
Microsoft Press Releases: Read Between the Lines. Wasn't channel
stuffing declared illegal (after companies were found to be shipping
bricks inside cartons, in order to boost their year-end numbers)?"

Blig Merk spake thusly:

ROFLMAO!!! Channel-stuffing means shipping more product than you're
selling through, ie. exactly what Sony has been doing with the PS3 since
day one, and exactly why they're getting a minor stock bump out of
reporting one million consoles *shipped* for the European launch!

You never did grasp the concept of irony, Bliggy. Microsoft is twisting
numbers to make themselves look better. Think Sony's never done this?
Start tabulating crimes against the consumer by these two corporate
monsters, and I think you'll find Sony has more marks in its column.

I say kudos to Nintendo for taking gaming to the masses. It makes me a
little sad that "traditional" gaming is taking a bit of a backseat to
lo-res, magic wand-waving novelty gaming, but that's OK. The 360 is
firmly in the traditional/hardcore gaming niche, and there's clearly not
enough room for the PS3 there too. Bligs, maybe you should switch to
being a Wii fantroll now? You backed the wrong horse in this gen.

the PS3 is never going to beat the combined userbases of Xbox 360 and
Wii.

maybe when you realize this, maybe when you admit this, you will be
less pathetic than you are now.

Umm you do realize that all three links are for basically the same article
right? So why not just post the one link? And why are you posting articles
from December 11th 2006, are you really that hard up to find bad news about
the Xbox 360? What's really funny is the thing the article accuses
Microsoft of doing is also the same thing Sony is accused of doing, which is
to count the number of units shipped, not sold. Seriously you're one hell
of a hypocrite since you take Microsoft to task over it and not Sony as
well. Go back to watching your "high-def" movies on your PSP... LOL.

You could argue that they stuffed the PSP channels:

http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/PSP/Sony+PSP/news.asp?c=2247

PSP shipments for Q3 in Japan were 0.9 million (compared to 1.4
million in the same period in 2005), Europe took 0.9 million (compared
to 3.2 million in 2005), but the real stinker was America.

Previously swallowing up almost 1.7 million PSPs in Q3 2005, the run
up to Christmas 2006 saw Sony ship a mere 100,000 PSPs to the
territory.

It's such a low figure we're tempted to think one of Sony's
beancounters has put the decimal point in the wrong place!

But in reality, the conclusion seems clear. Throughout 2006, pundits
pointed out that while Sony was boasting of large 'shipments' of PSP
hardware, that didn't mean it was selling them.

Sony isn't "channel-stuffing." The PoS3 is just bombing BIG TIME!

You may recall Sony's bogus movie reviews.

More like the back end of the wrong horse.

You mean deliberately creating a shortage to generate demand?
