Another reason why I think they do much better in SW shipment in 2011 than in 2010 is the following.
Here is the comparison quarter by quarter of software shipped between 2009 and 2010( fiscal years) :
2009 :
| PS3 | 22.8 | 21.2 | 40.8 | 18.9 | 103.7 |
|
|
2010 :
| Q1 3/2010 | Q2 3/2010 | Q3 3/2010 | Q4 3/2010 | FY 3/2010 | |
| PS3 | 14.8 | 23.9 | 47.6 | 29.3 | 115.6 |
As you can see the reason 2009 SW was relatively low was Q1 which was a lot weaker than the previous year.
However since then, as HW shipment increased, so did SW shipments and there's no real reason for the tendency to suddenly reverse.
As it stands I think with what data we have it's reasonable to expect SW shipment for Q1 2011 to be around 20-22 millions, a reasonable increase over the poor first quarter of last year........
PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !
PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
