Japan is down a fair bit in the quarter so far (14% drop from Jan 2010 to Jan 2011), I'm expecting the Americas to be down too. Sony only shipped 2.2m in Q1 2010 and that was with the price cut closer to the time frame and in my opinion bigger games - God of War III (March), FFXIII (March). Also, Dec 2010 quarter (6.3m) was down from Dec 2009 quarter (6.5m) for PS3 on weaker Japan / USA sales - I see no reason to expect that not to continue in Q1 2011. PS3 shipments should easily beat FY 3/2010 anyway - 14.2m to 13m - but 15m is a bit ambitious given the most recent trends. On the other hand, PS2 should be around 6.5m, not the 6m Sony projects. The main thing with PS3 is its been down since it lapped the PS3 Slim / PS3 at $300 price point in the USA and Japan and that won't change without a price cut. Q1 2011 will probably be 2.3m Wii / 2m PS3 / 2m X360 for shipments. |
You're probably referring to my comment on the first page.
Yeah, I misread Sony's figures from last year lol. For some reason I thought they sold 2.2 million from January to March and 3.5 million from April to June. Rookie mistake, I know, but because of it I figured they could probably hit around 3 million that same period this year, given the supply constraints last year.
Then I looked at the numbers again and realised that the ps3 has never broken 2.2 million units in that quarter going back to launch.
