Forums - Sales Discussion - PS3 UNDERTRACKED in Na this week? (SONy Press Release -- 300% ++)

Based on your assumption

$399 * 100x = $39900x

$299 * 400x = $119600x

The hardware revenue should increase well over 140% as Sony claimed.

Maybe it's not undertracked?

Hardware revenue is for all playstation hardware.  Not just PS3's.

interesting

PS3 was undertracked by 50K (NPd had PS3 50K higher than VGC)

this is obviously due to undertracking of slim sales from last week

so this 300% increase will mean MUCH more now

I am certain PS3 is under-tracked in NA this week now!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

We will find out a month from today!

It compares the first week of September to the week before the price cut, so actually you have 144k vs 33k or about a 330% increase - so looks pretty close to me.

"Our top retailers have reported a 300% lift in PS3 hardware sales and an increase of 140% in total hardware revenue across the PlayStation portfolio when comparing the first week of September to the week before the $299 price adjustment."

Sony isn't comparing to last week, but to the period before the price drop (so when it was doing 30-40k a week).



One final thing

VGC has PS3 at 50K less than it is in NPD

if adjustments are made to go up (as they usually are) to the last week of september.....then technically PS3 will have been undertracked as the 300% increase won't hold true

but we'll know in a month



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I think its close enough to not care.
