Did Sony mention the PS2 being down? I read they said only the PS2 wasn't down.

They said nothing about that but for the fiscal years PS3 + PS2 were down... just in the last quarter PS3 + PS2 were up.

Ok thanks, so how much of that do you think belonged to PS3

Sony only shipped 900k in 4th quarter the previous year. I think it's generous to say the Ps2 matched that each quarter (though I have no clue why it would) putting the ps2 at 3.6mil and ps3 at 12.8mil. 1.1mil down YoY is reasonable considering they expect only 10mil ps3's this year. And if you think about it Sony would need to expect normal YoY drops in that number PLUS drops because of the Ps4/720 competition. So basically the drops they would incur this year will be greater than the drops they just incurred for the year. However, even if the Ps2 matched last years numbers (which again, I don't see why they would) the Ps3 wouold have shipped 12.3mil with a drop of 1.6mil. (Which would mean they would only expect the Ps4/720 to effect shipments by about 800k... which I would think it would be a little higher being the market is aching for new tech)

In short: 12.3million < Ps3 < 12.9million
