| dmillos said: Hi @HigHurtenflurst Thank you very much for these links! I have been checking them out and ther is a ton of data to look at. I saw one of the early press releases and it mentioned regions, someone must have dived real deep into all this data to produce this chart. https://www.sie.com/content/dam/corporate/en/corporate/release/pdf/020919e.pdf
This 40 million in 2.5 years was a record at the time, I saw that the DS managed to beat it by a little bit and the Wii actually had almost 48M. Switch was a bit short at 36 (but one less holiday). Thank you very much for this information, I wish I could give more than one thumbs up. Now to find Sega! and why not, lets search for Atari as well. :) |
Sony used to report regional breakdowns so the early figures on wiki will be from those... they did it in quarterly reports back in 2002 (on the wiki page for PS2 you can see it has new rows every 3 months... then after that it gets updated either when Sony made press releases or once per fiscal year.
Early in PS3 life they stopped reporting shipment numbers at all (for fiscal reports it's not a legal requirement as it's about revenue & profits, not unit sales) apart from the occasional press release with global milestone totals.
Actually just found some better shipment data for Sony, it has FY2008 to 2011 broken down by quarter: Here
If you open the FY2001-2011 consolidated data spreadsheet, then go to the P50 & P51 sheets that's the best shipment data I have seen from Sony in that period.
