| pikashoe said: I think what confuses people about ps2 shipments is that in FY 2012 they only shipped around 1.8-2 million. Then production stopped 9 months later in early January 2013. Yet they went on to produce another 5 million in this short time. I assume they must have just produced a surplus of ps2s in that time before production ended and shipped them out over the next few FYs. |
They didn't produce another 5m in that time. There was likely 1m or more already in warehouses ready to be shipped. Sales lag behind shipments as they too lag behind production. When Sony switched from production shipments to shipments to retailers the gap was 117.9m to 115.6m, a 2.3m gap.
