| Conegamer said: A nice read, but I wouldn't be worried about Nintendo. They may be in 3rd place ATM, but the system is the most successful OF ALL TIME for Nintendo, and I believe still tracking above the PS2 LT. A price cut and compelling SW will put them firmly back in 1st place. Also, I doubt these games are being delayed for NGP. I really, really find that hard to believe... |
The PS2 was at 87.47 million production shipments as of March 31, 2005. Granted that was production shipments, and the PS2 was released in Japan in March rather than holiday 2000.
It also did 6.08 million that quarter. Now keep in mind these were production shipments, but that was also right after the holiday where they had severe shortages, and the release of San Andreas.
Just for reference it did
3.53 million in Q2 (calendar)
6.01 million in Q3
5.36 million in Q4
For a total of 101.37 million and ~20 million for the calendar year.
Now once again, these are production numbers which is why it doesn't spike as much in Q4 like retail shipments do.
