Forums - Sales Discussion - The Official NPD March 11' Thread (Data at 6:30 PM EST for 5 wks to 4/2/11)

TheSource on 14 April 2011

PS3 is between 314k & 433k based on X360 numbers and being up.

Wii is below 433k based on being down & below X360.

DS > 380k based on being higher than 3DS which did 100k less than DS in month one

PSP > 119k based on being up over March 2010.

So I figure 400k for Wii, 360k for PS3, 125k for PSP, and 500k for DS but those are guesses for what NPD has on my end.

Sony NPD: "PlayStation saw double digit growth across hardware and peripherals, signaling continued momentum for the PlayStation platform

Hardware AND Peripherals?

Interesting.

So... double digit grow over last year.

PS3 > 345.3K
PSP > 131.9K

The lowest double digit is 10%.

So 360 is perfect.

3DS is overtracked by about 200k...

PS3 and PSP are up YoY so PS3 could be right and PSP is slightly undertracked.

Wii is down YoY and could be anything...

DS undertracked by like 12k or more?


PS3 and PSP both saw double digit growth compared to last March so at least 10% more, which would be at least 130k and 344k.

PS3 and PSP UNDERTRACKED already confirmed.

Edit - Maybe not... The Source said that could be HW plus ACC.



TheSource on 14 April 2011

I think Sony has phrased that to mean that in March 2011:

a PS3 HW = March 2010 * 1.05

b PS3 ACC = March 2010 * 1.25

So if A is 10 * 1.05 and B is 4 * 1.25, you get 10.5 5, which 15.5, up from 14, and "double digit growth" even though hw didnt grow double digits. But we'll see soon enough I'd imagine.

They didn't state double digit growth in hardware alone, they said it with Accessories. That is what he is trying to point out Psrock. It is a small PR trick, nothing more.
