Still obscure. First of all they are using revenue to measure this number. They say HW and SW to PSP and PS3. SW never sold well enough on the PSP to mak a dent so I assume that is target towards the Ps3. Ontop of that the PSP has shown massive HW drops while only shipping 900k in Sony's Jan-March numbers so I doubt they got anywhere near those 1.8 million shipped from last years April - June quarter so I'd think the HW numbers more targetted to the PSP. Shipped trends show the Ps3 pretty even. Wouldnt make sense for the Ps3 to sharply decline while the Ps2 sharply increases. Include the fact that Sony shipped 70 million ps3's in Oct that would mean they woud had to of shipped damn near 2 million in that single month

Theyre saying hardware and software are down for PSP and PS3. I think thats pretty clear and it matches what we know about PS3 being down YoY on VGC, NPD, NintyCharts and MC/Famitsu.
1.7 Million isnt down sharply from 1.8 Million. While PS2 would be down YoY for the Quarter by 300k if it had sold 1.1 Million.
EDIT - And PS3 @ 70M shipped was announced in November. Which is 3 Months after the August Quarterly report.
|
It was announced in November for numbers in October. But using the numbers you agreed with would mean that Ps3 had 68mil shipped in September. Which would mean 2 million in October. Considering I expect about 5.5 million in 4th quarter I don't think it makes sense to ship that many in October
|
November 16th for numbers to November 4th. But it really means not much at that time of the year. Shipments are huge and constant at that time. We shall see when the release comes in December. Little point in specualating.
|
When the release does come everyone will speculate the Ps2 sold 50 million units while the Ps3 only sold 2 million units for the quarters... even though last year Sony only shipped 900k Ps2 units... However, you and carl both think they shipped more than that in April - June and again in July - September... Yet only shipped 1.5 million during Oct - March the busiest time of the year...
|
Yes, becasue we are looking at the evidence wihtout an agenda. We are looking at the date and the release and the words they used. You just WANT it to be different.
|
Ha the words they used? They tied the Ps3 in with PSP and used revenue. Which they should considering they are a business. However, the psp has been declining just like the Ps2 and the vita hasn't taken up its sales... Yet somehow magically the PS2 sales spur 800k more in the slower 6 months compared to the busy 6 months according to you guys... then sony ships 2 million units in the month of October and sells through their shipments the first week of December... Sony shipped more in November but those wont sell till the end of January so Sony is going to relax on shipments till then.
