Seriously, it's just a forecast... It doesn't mean they would sell this extra 1,5 million PS3s with the previous one. How is it bad for them? They decided to stick with more realistic plan. I see nothing bad here. |
Forecasts in financial reports are important because they affect the company's strategy and the investors' decisions. It's not like someone at Sony just dreamed up a number during an interview, forecasts are an important part of most businesses.
And yes, the 11 million number was unrealistic, people have been saying so for at least 6 months (it would require the PS3 starting to sell at more than Wii levels of production). However, Sony took a long time to admit it, as they now did.
