Seece said: 500k seems reasonable and doable. I really don't get the point of him saying this though ... |
I don't even think Reuters exist to be honest, lol.
I believe the context for Tretton saying this is the great japanese lauch - and struggling subsequent weeks.
The discussion quickly turned to Vita's underwhelming sales in Japan since its mid-December release, which Tretton categorized as a "perception" issue. "Quite frankly, it scares me if people think that the Japanese launch is struggling. The fact is they sold 500,000 units in three weeks... I would be pleased if we did 500,000 units in the first three weeks here in the United States. I think that's a real healthy number for a new platform launch."
