I don't get what they said.

This year is 40% better than last year, and Black-Friday to 12/31 is 130 percent better than last year?

 

actually you nailed it but remmebr he is talking about NA only not WW.

 

Nope, that's not what he is saying, look:

(...)an increase of more than 130 percent of PS3 hardware sales for the holiday season--since Black Friday--and we're also seeing a growth of nearly 40 percent in total PS3 hardware sales for the calendar year.

 

So he says 2 things:

1) PS3 YoY sales increased by 40% compared to last year

2) PS3 sales increased 130% during the holiday season (NOT compared to last year).

 

Do the math, it wouldn't make sense - if the PS3 had really seen a 130% holiday boost compared to last year (which means selling more than double the amount of units during the holiday season compared to last year) the YoY increase would be much higher than 40% as the PS3 sold much better YoY for the first half of 2008.

 

 

oh yeah ,,,I didn't understand DmeisterJ fully.

 

I knew what the article is saying ,,,but all the figures that he is giving are for NA right(SCEA)?

 

Yep, NA only.

So far we have:

2007: 2.76m units (All America)

2008: 4.0m units (All America)

So our numbers seem to be in line with what Sony said.

I think it's still very good.Considering the competition's price point, no price drops,and the economic crisis.
