| Chark said: Interesting, I will add a graph that goes to FY 2013 tonight or atleast list the numbers. Both the lifetime at end of FY and amount sold in the FY. Is that beginning of March or end of March? |
The Fiscal Years for Sony & Nintendo end March 31st (though Sony names them by the year they start in, and Nintendo uses the more common practice of naming them by the year they end in) Microsoft's FYs end June 30th. (So currently Sony is in Q2 of FY2012, Nintendo is Q2 FY2013, and MS is Q1 FY2013)
As for Sony's predictions:
Guy from Sony: 10 million Vitas total shipped by March 31st 2013
FY report released in early May 2012: 16 million PSP+PSV shipped between April 1st 2012 and March 31st 2013
I am unsure if Sony updated their forcast after Q1 ended, I presume their quarterly report is out by now... wait, nope their website says it's not until August 2nd. I thought they would be a bit quicker with the quarterlies compared to the yearlies, but maybe not.
So in a few days time if Sony hasn't dropped their forecast by at least 4 million I think we can safely say either they have something huge up their sleeves or they are batshit insane. (Even 12 million combined PSP + Vita would be a stretch at this pace)
