found this in the accounts: FY forecast:
Game
Primarily due to the lowering of the annual unit sales forecast for portable hardware, sales are expected to be
significantly lower than the May forecast. Due to the above-mentioned decrease in sales and the impact of
unfavorable exchange rates, operating income is expected to be significantly below the May forecast. Sales are
expected to be essentially flat and operating income is expected to decrease significantly year-on-year.
So they expect no change ion revenue in come but a massive drop in any operaring income and as a result any potential profits.

Makes sense with the upcoming ps3 and vita price drops, the volume sold will be higher but since they are selling for less, less operating income.
|
Higher? how so?
They will be lower. Read the first sentence. They will selling less at a lower net revenue per item.
|
Well if Sony dropped the price from $249 to say $169 for a ps3 for example.
@ $249 they sold 1 million ps3's, thats 249 million dollars in sales
@ $169 they sold 1.5 million ps3's, thast 250 million dollars in sales
Sales are essentially flat, the volume of ps3 sold is higher at its lower price (1.5m v 1m) but operating income is less ince they are selling at a lower price (249 vs 169)
|
I know that. But sony EXPECT to sell less PS3's YOY.
|
from 18.0 to 16.0? those can be all from PS2, also their forcast can change (for positive or negative), they reduced the psp/v number by 4 million in just a months time. 9 months is a large amount of time to have something set in stone.
|
They shipped 14m PS3's last year. They will ship less and I am pretty sure Sony expect less than 14m from the 16m, given that ps2 will already have shipped 1m or so this quarter alone.
|
I guess thats were we differ, the ps2 did not push 1 mil (for an april to june quarter no way), ill give it 650k at best
