| fmjasinski said: Sony logic, not mine. Q4 (Jan-March) was the last shippment of PS2 (look the second note), check out: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=171063&page=1# PS2+PS3 in Q4 = 3,5 million. Look how shippments drop off the cliff in the Q1, without PS2 = Q1 = 1,1 million (April-Jun). Last year is the same, Q3 (october-december) = 6,8 million. Sony deceived the VGChartz numbers, because the PS2 was overshipped (to be discontinued), because of this VGChartz received big adjustments (and maybe still is overtracked). I think in Q4 Sony will repeat last years numbers, but this is due the launch of PS4 or just a little below. How about look at the news?
PlayStation 3 reached 70 million units on November 4 (2012), second Sony. (http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/16/sony-playstation-3-sales-hit-70-million-worldwide-after-six-years-move-controller-clocks-up-15-million-in-two-years/) PlayStation 3 reached 80 million units on November 2 (2013), second Sony. (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-11-06-playstation-3-sales-hit-80-million) Ps3 shipped 10 million in 363 days in the mentioned period and PS3 sales are decreasing (this is a fact). |
10M in a year for a 7-year old system that hasn't had a price drop in more than 2 years - pretty good. We know that they have more room to drop the price.
