 -The overall result was better than expected.

Isnt Sony supposed to be doomed and losing billions? lol

this is just Q3 though, if they didn't post some sort of profit there then I would be surprised. Q4/year results should definitely be interesting

Can i get a whoop

whoop indeed

yes that means vgc has to adjust ps3 figures up now, so much for 31million is an impossible number to reach lol

i just read 360 is on 38.7 and ps3 is on 33.5, the gap is smaller guys, there is no way that more than 1 million ps3's on the shelves so i think an adjustment of up to 32.5m should suffice (just guessing) i will get kowenicki to tell me what he thinks

good results

Q1 2009: -386 Million
Q2 2009: -292 Million
Q3 2009: +861 Million
Q4 2009: N/A
Total so far: +183 Million

Looks like Sony as a company are going to post a profitable financial year. :D

so in Q3 ghey have 33.5 sold?... SO Q4 should be more..mean the numbers on front page are alitte off????
