Predicted sales for PS4 for the whole fiscal year also remain at 20 million, unchanged from November’s outlook.
So I read a lot of comments about Sony not making it to 20 million in some other threads.
To me the comments didn't make sense as the forecast from Sony was about shipments. So how can we determine if they are meeting their goals by looking at sold through. This helps to highlight the discrepancy between sales and ships. Thats 2.4 million in the retail pipelines (during the holiday anyway).
So you begin to see that even if Sony sold through 20 million, you don't know if they met their goal because you don't know how many units where in the pipeline from the quarter before. If their production capacity remains at 1.4 million a month, the only way you would know that they meet their goal (besides literally reporting shipments as is the case here) would be to have the sold through at least be 24.2 million.
