Forums - Sales Discussion - PSP LT sales indicates that psv is heavily overtracked now due to the huge adjsutment up of april! While previously, Vgc wasn't really undertracking it or maybe it was overtracking it moderately!

Lol good try but, no...... 1.8M was sold not shipped, and that just after the western release, so 3m+ shipped as of march 2012 is more logic i will find the combined shipment and post it later

Yeah, burn VGCHARTZ, run around NAKED. i mean, nice post, but we will never know.


Thanks dear!:P But we may not know something,because someone conceals it but we can find out/elicit it sometimes and this is what I did,by this:

PSP LTD shimpents were 76.3m and psv LTD  shipments were at 1.8m  as of March 31th 2012(FY11 Q4) Then sony started combining psp/psv shimpnets...

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=473601

There were 7m psp/psv/vita tv shipped in FY12(Ending on March 31th 2013) http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/library/fr/12q4_sonypre.pdf

There were 4.1m psp/psv/vita tv shipped in FY13(Ending on March 31th 2014) http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/library/fr/13q4_sonypre.pdf

There were 3.3m psp/psv/vita tvn shipped in FY14(Ending on March 31th 2015) http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/library/fr/14q4_sonypre.pdf

A total of 14.4m psp/psvita/vita tv in these three fiscal years!76.3m+1.8=78.1+14.4=92.5 psp+psv+vita tv  

92.5m-82m(psp)=10.5m psv/vita tv shipped as of March 31th 2015(and on the april 11th '15 here,it gets adgusted-up in an immense extend,jumping from 10.35m to 11.65m...)

And finally we have the LT about psp 82m(maybe rounded)... http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/17/vita-sales-are-picking-up-thanks-to-ps4-remote-play 

Sony's last update was in FY11 Q4(Jan-Mar '12) for psv shipments and psp,and then it started combining the shipments,but if someday we would learn the LT of psp,then automatically we would figure out psv LTD,that happened...  Psp is at 82m(could be rounded) so with calculations  based on hard facts I educed the shipments of psv as of March 31th 2015,but in FY15 Q1 sony completely stopped publishing handhelds shipments(well psp had been discontinued,ergo they didn't have something to combina with psv shipments...),so the last known thing,inofficially,is that psv was at 10.5m as of March 31th 2015!:P I dont' know if sony will ever inform us,they didn't even  do it with the LT of psp,the last officially known thing was that 76.3m psp  had been shipped overall as of March 31th 2012.  Thanks to scea president and ceo in one article in november 2014, it was publicized that are 82m psp in the wild...(perhaps a rounded number)

It's not a try,I present hard facts and don't try to refute them because you don't like them,in financial releases they publish shipped numbers...

PS2 NDS Wii PSP 360 PS3 3DS PSV 155.1 151.52 95.85 76.3 67.2 63.9 17.13 1.8 -Sources: Sony,Nintendo,Microsoft (Sell-in Numbers) SELLLLLLLL INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN= SHIPPED


76.3m psp  and  1.8m psv shipped as of March 31th 2012->hard fact

7m psp/psv/vita tv shipped in FY12 ->Hard fact


4,1m         ''         ''        shipped in FY13->hard fact


3.3m          ''         ''         shipped in FY14 -> hard fact



The numbers are from sony investors relations page,earning realeases section...

Total of the shipments psp/psv/vita in these three fiscal years is 14.4m, 76.3m psp shipped as of March 31th 2012 + 1.8 psv shipped as of March 31th 2012=78.1m+14.4m(April '12-March '15)=92.5m psp/psv/vita tv.
SCEA ceo and president said in November 2014 that there are 82m(probably rounded) psp in the wild,so 92.5m-82m=10.5 for psv,,i.e 5.7m of 14.4m shipments in these three fiscal years were psp units and the rest 8.7m were psv units...76.3m+5.7m=82m 8.7m+1.8m= 10.5m Hard facts,deal with it...

I've been finding some things really odd about Vita sales:
- Vita is routinely getting 5-10k sold each week in 'other' regions (Is it really that popular in China?)
- While the numbers reflect Vita being dead in NA, it evidently is hanging on in Europe. Why the big difference? If it's not popular in NA, why is ok in Europe?



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Europeans love PlayStation. I'm not a PS fan, but I can't help it sometimes think about buying a PS3 or a Vita.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

I am sorry but this is not a fact, this is your opinion. Your are only speculating.
Tbh this thread is just bullshit imo...



I'll have a look at the rest of the post when I have time, but I'm immediately suspicious about that 82m PSP number.  On the Wikipedia page for PSP, it cites 3 different sources for that 82m number:

1. http://time.com/2816781/sony-to-stop-selling-playstation-portable-by-end-of-year/">An old Time article

2. A Metro article

3. The IGN article you linked.

Now, if you read the Time article, it doesn't say anything about 82m, so that's rubbish.  If you read the Metro article, it says 80m, so also useless.  That leaves the IGN article as the sole source for this.

If you read it, it kinda sounds like the writer/editor adding that in:

"Discussing an experience he had recently in Tokyo, in which he was given one of the last 30 PSPs ever manufactured as a present (there are 82 million PSPs in the wild), Layden suggested that because Vita hasn't followed PSP's "hockey stick" sales spike, many people assume it's in trouble. PSP, he said, was a "slow burn" over time that brought it to that number following its spike early on."

It's not Shawn Layden saying that it's 82m, it's IGN adding that in.  They may have sales numbers that I'm not privvy to, but I'd doubt that.

Without the 82m, your whole argument kinda falls apart.  That may be correct, but I wouldn't take a rather shaky IGN article as a source, personally.



I've always thought the big adjustment was a little off, but we may never know for sure. No big deal either way though, 10 mil, or 12 mil, still shit sales.
