| forest-spirit said: Nothing on total PS3 shipments yet? C'mon Sony, spill the beans already. :/ I mean, shipments should have reached 80m by now, right? Sounds like something you'd announce... |
I will get shredded for this, but there is a chance 360 is still ahead.
Q4 (March 31st) 2012 was the last time we got an LTD for PS3, 63.9m. Sony then forecast 13m for the PS3 that year.
If Sony hit that forecast LTD would have reached 76.9m
Last Q PS3 shipped 1.1m, making it 78m, this quarter they shipped 2m, making it 80m.
That's IF they hit their FY forecast target, we've heard nothing. Up till now I've believed they did hit that target, but them expecting 10m PS3's this FY shows me they're too optimistic.
They've often missed PS3 forecasts by 500k - 1m. If they hit 12.4m last year instead of the 13m they targetted, then they're on par with 360. 79.4m.
Fact is, Sony is still silent. They've not said PS3 is at 80 and they've not said it's overtaken Xbox 360. Until they do I'm gonna assume 360 is ahead.
Sony will not miss the opportunity to announce they're second worldwide with PS3, anyone who thinks otherwise is foolish IMO.
