[NJ5]

Based on Sony's figures:

PS2 Forecast: 10 million
PS2 Q1: 2.7 million
PS2 Q2-Q4 Forecast: 8.3 million

PSP Forecast: 9 million
PSP Q1: 2.14 million
PSP Q2-Q4 Forecast: 6.86 million

PS3 Forecast: 11 million
PS3 Q1: .71 million
PS3 Q2-Q4 Forecast: 10.29 million

Software Forecast: 250 million
Software Q1: 45.7 million
Software Q2-Q4 Forecast: 204.3 million

So the PS3 is going to sell 50% more than the PSP?

EDIT - corrected PS2 shipping increase after FishyJoe corrected one of the numbers above.

Not just that but they "expect" the PS3 shippings to be 383% higher in each of the last 3 quarters in relation to the first quarter. 2% higher for the PS2 and 7% higher for the PSP. They're in for a big dissapointment this Christmas.

PS: And for everyone who was saying that Sony was already making a profit on the PS3, Sony says:

"This deterioration was primarily due to the loss arising from the strategic pricing of PS3 at points lower than its production cost ..."
