Anybody care to explain:

 

"Sales decreased 12.2% year-on-year (a 15% decrease on a constant currency basis) to 707.1 billion yen (7,522
million U.S. dollars). Sales to external customers decreased 22.5% year-on-year. This significant decrease was
primarily due to a decrease in unit sales of PlayStation®3 (“PS3”) hardware and PSP® (PlayStation Portable)
(“PSP”) hardware and software, as well as PlayStation®Vita (“PS Vita”) hardware, partially offset by the favorable
impact of foreign exchange rates."

Well PS3 and PSP decreased the sales compared to last year... I mean Sony shipped 13.9m PS3 last year and they are prediction 10m for the next year.

I think is safe to say Sony shipped 11-13 million PS3 this year... down yoy ~15% and not 30-40% like VGC shows.
