I've spoken to Sony about this before and they've admitted to making typos in press-releases. They don't retract them because its not worth it usually.

408m / 480m is a pretty easy typo really through the end of 2010. I have Sony's shipments by quarter before the  edit to the September quarter on their site at these levels:

 

PS3 SW	Mar Q	Jun Q	Sept Q	Dec Q
2006				5.2
2007	8.1	4.7	10.4	26
2008	16.8	22.8	21.2	40.8
2009	18.9	14.8	23.9	47.6
2010	29.3	24.8	35.3	57.6

You'll notice the numbers are exactly the same, save for the September 2010 quarter as on Sony's website http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdataps3soft_sale_e.html which as I say was changed a month ago and doesn't make sense with the seasonality of the December 2010 quarter and the magnitude of titles released - GT5, COD, etc.

I got now... but I'm confuse yet.

* 480m is a wrong or typo... ok.
* The sum of the numbers in Sony website is 424.8m.
* The sum of the numbers in your table is 408.2m.

What the real number? 480m, 408.2m or 424.8m?
