My thoughts exactly. So when PS3 and PS Vita are actually down YoY and the total number of consoles shipped is up - WTF is the PS2 doing?!

Wait... the PS3 + PS2 is UP in the quarter... for the year they are DOWN 8%  (18 million to 16.5 million).

The text you quoted is about the full fiscal year... not the quarter.

Thanks.

Any idea how PS2 / PS3 went from being down 10% YoY to 35% up during the slowest Q of the year?

yes, by dominating.

any educated information?

is it too difficult for you to grasp the fact that PS3 is just selling way better than other consoles right now? there HAS to be some sore of "explanation" right? its pretty fucking simple! more people bought it the q of this year  than last year! so what is it you dont understand, exactly?
