| bdbdbd said: I find the question in the OP pretty interesting, considering the site we're at. I'd recall talk about the "official" Wii target being around 50M sold and atleast Iwata expects Wii to beat PS2. The PS2 shipped number is really confusing, since even the offial figures seem to contradict themselves sometimes. Not to mention the times, when Sony changed their methods how to track "sales". The 140M figure may include replacements and/or manufactured that sit in warehouses etc. It's really hard to tell. |
Nope. 140 million was a mistake... the guy meant 130 million because that is what they had passed at the end of the fiscal year.
117.89 million were "produced" by the old reporting method... which would naturally include many many of the early units they replaced (my guess about 5 million replaced... probably a further 5-10 would have been repaired rather than replaced, but those should still count of course)
Since changing the method they shipped (sales TO retail) a further 15 million or so, (Griffin said 15.24 so I expect that is correct) which puts their figure at 133.13 million (they passed 130 million early in Jan-March quarter, and the last quarter another 1.6 were shipped I think)
So I think in terms of sales to retail it will be 133 minus however many replacements were sent out (my guess being about 5 million)
