Oh Psv was adjusted down by 230k! Essentially, ioi has removed 230k units, all of it from Europe's sales ! So the huge adjustment by 1.3m (of which the 1m went in Europe) back in april falls to 1.070m!
Apparently, the adjustment down occurred because vgc made Europe to replace Japan as psv best selling territory! When in Japan it has game support and benefits from handheld console market dominace but in Europe the absolute zero... I had pointed out these, perhaps ioi read it, realized how right this is and proceed to the adjustment down!
However, the issue persists!
There is the known interview in which it's being said that psp is at 82m(rounded)! In addition, we are informed about psv shipments estimated to be at 9.76m as of December 2014 ( from a reliable major sales researcher of Japan, vgc had psv sales at 9.6m then ) by arithmetic operations based on some official shipments data from sony about psv/psp (92.5m psp+psv as of March 31th of 2015) led us to the conclusion of 82.3m psp!
The findings have an aftereffect the proof of the 82m figure in the interview! Also these clues subtantiate each other , hence they are not leaving much room for doubting !
Provided that, I extrapolated that shipments of psv being at 10.2m as of March 2015!
The overtracking is huge only due to the misguided immense adjustment up back in april (+1.3m) which put psv sales at 11.5m from 10.3m, when vgc was tracking overly good psv previously! Ioi has just removed the 230k of that! Ergo 1m at least remains to come out of the total!
This adjustment-up still inflates psv sales in Europe, ergo sales in europe might end up again above Japan sales here.
