| Booh! said: Those PS2 shipments seem too generous, last fiscal year trend: 1.4 (Q1 - FY 2011) -> 1.2 (-15%) -> 0.9 (-25% - Christmas quarter!) -> 0.6 (-33%) -> 0.4 (-33%) -> 0.8 (+100%) -> 0.8 (flat) -> xxx PS2 could have been in the 0.2m - 0.3m range in Q3 and Q4. It is no more something you buy as a gift for Christmas, I bet a 0.5 -> 0.3/0.4 -> 0.2/0.3 progression is much more likely. |
We have to be generous when trying to determine sales of unknowns. One reason why declines might not have dropped as much over the last few quarters is because 600k is negligable and you cant really get less than that. So maybe Sony shipped a consistant 600-900k last 2 quarters because anything less wouldn't be worth it.
