i just wonder why there are people saying something like "ps3 shipped less than last year" and then few posts later "why do you talk about financials of last year, last year is the past, we should talk about this year"

so people use sales numbers of last year and then say someone else he shouldn't use numbers of last year?

yes these numbers are from last year but we never knew how the gaming devision did and now we know it. why this is interesting? i don't know but i read like 20 times the last months that we don't really know how sony gaming devision is doing financially and now we know it at least for last financial year. this could be as example used for that table someone had with the financials of nintendo, sony gaming devision and microsofts gaming devision since they sell consoles with the overall loss/profit.

many many users here used that to show how close sony is to a profit of almost 0 since they are in the gamning branch so where is the problem to get new numbers for taht we didn#t knew before?

Can't remember exactly who said it, but some time ago someone on VGC said that the reason why it happens that way is because things are considered as relevant and/or irrelevant depending on whether or not it is convenient to that person's argument.
