Nope, the PS2 MIGHT have, but Sony had much more normalized shipments. I think it still holds the summer quarter shipment record as a result. |
PS2 biggest reported shipment quarter was 8.78m in Q2 2003 (ending Sept).
At the time though Sony's reported shipments were based on internal sales (so from Sony Japan to Sony USA etc) which I think is why it was a September quarter rather than December quarter (they physically ship them to Sony subsidiaries in other regions in Q2 so that they have stock ready to sell to retailers in Q3)
If the reporting method were the same it's possible that the previous year they sold ~10-11m to retail during Q3 (as both Q2 & Q3 were both over 8m), but only Sony knows for certain. Based on the other quarters around it I would put 11.5m at the high end of any estimate
