A decline of 700k consoles last year. Not bad though. Didn’t they raise their internal forecast to 79m ending March 31st? So that’s 2.5m more needed in approximately two months. They should make it if just barely. |
Yh.... I think this all happened cause at the end of Q3 2016 they had a surplus in the channels. Over 3M. Shipments had to be adjusted to clear the channels which led to a situation where in FY 2017 they have to ship less total consoles than they did in FY 2016 (19M for 2017 vs. 20M for 2016).
By their next fiscal report, if sony announces flat or higher shipment estimates than 2017 for the fiscal year 2018, then thats a good indication that at some point they plan on dropping to $199 this year. If they announce shipment estimates that are even lower, then it could mean they don't plan on dropping price anytime soon.
