Who cares about the PS2?


Apparently it did as good or better than all current gen consoles except for the PS3.

This is a poor comparison, even for you Turkish.

The Wii and 360 were overshipped in Q4, expecting better sales over the holiday season. As such, fewer systems were shipped in the following Quarter.

The PS3 was not, however, and may have been overshipped now. And sales show that the PS3 is only under the Wii+360 sales weekly by around 15k anyway, so assuming sales of around 10-15k, this makes sense.

I'm not shocked, but you're trying to spin it without knowing the whole facts. I am disappoint.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

UPDATE: We've just listened in to Sony's investor call, where shareholders have the chance to ask questions about the company's results. Sony refused to break down individual platform sales for PlayStation Vita when asked, despite having done so in the past.
The company also noted that its software sales report does not count digital downloads, which may have negatively affected overall totals.

It seem Sony doesnt want to breakdown sales and also doesnt include digital sales, horrible in both cases.



VGcharts numbers also shows that there is very good chance Sony shipped 2.0-2.1 million PS3 this quarter.

If they were overshipped last Holiday, than it wouldve reflected not the last quarter but the quarter behind it.

Turkish is in full defence mode today... lol

Anyway, broken down, I'd say 1.7m for PS3 and 1.1m for PS2 as Sony stated both were down.

so lowest qtr 1 PS3 shipments for some time.

are you sure you're specifying the right person?



No doubt about it, Turkish is 100% winning the "VGC Most Popular User" award this year, just look at his rabid fanbase. Everywhere he goes they follow.
