They aren't relevant to the current market. The slim changed sales trends, and although we won't know by how much it changed them permanently until post-holidays, it's clearly made a major sales difference in many regions. Especially Japan.

That PSP Slim is actually already accounted for and mentioned in the financials as of Q2-07. Despite its release, the hardware sales increase tapered down from .73 to .56 million between Q1 (not mentioned) and Q2 (first mention).

The Q2 fiscal quarter ended March 31st. The slim was released September 6th. That puts it near the end of Q4 2007.

Edit: To elaborate, basically there was a major holiday sales difference, and that's what your data is showing. Holiday sales are inclined to fluctuate more than any other time of the year, which makes that data some of the least relevant.

Objection!

Their Q2 financials end on September 30th, 2007 (Q1 ends June 30th, 2007).

Naz, please keep in mind that I have no axe to grind with yourself or Gamer Girl Elite. The data I'm presenting is also not mine rather it is Sony's straight from their own books. I'm not trying to actively attack your position that the PSP is doing well, rather I'm just posting data.
