This is what Sony said last quarter.

"Sales decreased 14.5% year-on-year (a 10% decrease on a constant currency basis) to 118.0 billion yen (1,493 million U.S. dollars). This decrease was primarily due to lower sales of hardware and software of the PSP® (PlayStation Portable) and PlayStation®3, partially offset by the contribution of the PlayStation®Vita introduced from December 2011."

They are talking about revenue and not unit sales. Otherwise PS2 shipped 1.2m or more last quarter, more then double from 1st quarter. Doesnt make any sense really on this market. In what world PS2 outshipped 360 in last quarter?

So are you saying the Sony shipped over 5 million PS3 in the last two quarters??? Almost matching the 2011 performance (5.5m).

It's just harder to believe... It's more easy to believe PS2 shipped 1.5-2.0m in the last two quarter... down form 2.6m (2011).

That wouldn't make any sense because Sony are only projecting 3 million PS2s for the FY. They'd probably beat that number by 1-2 million if they were already at 2 million.
