As one can see PS2 shipment has been on decline since 4th quarter 2011, the reason is because of PS3 price cut people in devoloping country would rather buy PS3 or 360 then PS2. So in 4th quarter PS2 shipped 900k which is usally the biggest, lower then 3rd quarter 2011. And in 1st quarter of 2012 it just shipped 600k. Can anybody explain how PS2 has shipped 1 million in each quarter since then when rest of the consoles are on decline YOY? In the same period 360 shipped 2.8m, thats will be just 800k more then PS2 and it doesnt make sense.
PS3 usually ship more then 3m in 3rd quarter, last year they shipped 3.7m. So this time around they shipped 3m. So the difference between 360 and PS3 shipments is between 700k-1m. That doesnt mean PS3 is undertracked.
