Not sure everyone is aware of the last 12 months financial shenanigans...

A year ago Sony projected a profit for this year of $963m

By Jun 2011 they revised to a loss of $1.12bn

By Feb 2012 they revised to a loss of $2.76bn

In April 2012 this was revised to a $6.4bn loss

 

Thats weird.

......Remember that Earthquake/Tsunami last year? Yeah....

I really dont understand why the are loosing so much money with their TV, so far they are the best around (at least, according to what I have seen).

My TV is a 46 inches LED Full HD with 3D; and everything looks magnificent in it; waaaaaaaaaay better than in other TVs (from.other manufacturers obviously).



^Not in my opinion..I'm feeling Samsung actually.

Should be another interesting showing.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

FY Data:

PS2 - 4.1m (0.6m in Jan-March 2012)

PSP - 6.8m (0.9m in Jan-March 2012)

Vita --- ?? (Maybe it didn't sell out initial shipment? Who knows really)

PS3 - 13.9m (1.9m in Jan-March 2012)

FY 3/2013 Forecast:

PSP + PS Vita --> 16m...I have serious doubts even with a major price cut. Nintendo is calling for 20.5m 3DS & DS combined for comparison but they're currently selling 70% better than Sony's portables on a weekly basis. Assuming 16m is met its probably 11m PS Vita / 5m PSP?  I'd guess 9m / 4.5m is more likely but we'll have to see. Seems like they have a major price cut coming for Vita...

PS3 + PS2 --> 16m.  Hard to say the split here. 13m PS3 / 3m PS2?  14m PS3 / 2m PS2?  I lean towards the former but I have my doubts PS3 will get to 13m / 14m this FY, just as the 15m projected last year looked a bit high.

Only 1.9 million ps3s shipped? I take it that means the ps3 is over tracked by vgc.

Skeeuk: "playstation 3 is the ultimate in gaming acceleration"

any reason why vita was not included in FY2011



Vita must be getting a cut sometime soon then (e3?), seeing as they expect to ship 16 million handhelds and I would assume PSP wouldn't be any higher then 4 million. 12 million Vita's is a lot.



SW -

               Q1 2012           Q1 2011

PS2            1.1m                 2.1m

PS3           26.9m               30.2m

PSP           6.0m                  9.9m

Total       34m                    40.2m 

 

Pretty bad quarter industry wide then - HW down, SW down. 3DS only hw to top 2m for the quarter...that's pretty bad. Quarters are 13 weeks so no one shipped over 160,000 systems per week.
