well, I think I'll stick with VGC as Sony's fiscal reports have contradictions. Plus sold to consumers is what is important, not retail.
Examples below.
FY06 Q4 shows
FY04 = 2.97, FY05 = 14.06, FY06 = 8.36
FY07 Q4 shows
FY06 = 9.53, FY07 = 13.89
FY08 Q4 shows
FY07 = 13.81, FY08 = 14.11
So with that I have different totals
anywhere from 53.89 to 54.58 shipped through Q4 2008. :/
I think the problem is when the changed their accounting practices and that actually increased their 'shipped/sold' figures. Now Sony forecasted 15m for FY09 and based on above I'm betting 10m tops. So, even if I use shipped figures that's 65m at best for April 1 2010. I still think, 80m tops lifetime.
