Forums - Sales - PS3 guaranteed 13 million for FY 2010

RVDondaPC on 31 March 2010

Could this be a reason for the PS3 shortages? Sony may have realized they reached their numbers goal for the FY 2010 all ready, so they are holding off shipments until April so that those shipped numbers can be counted towards FY 2011, increasing the chances of reaching FY 2011 shipment goals as well as improving the chances of showing continual shipment growth YOY for each year the PS3 has been on the market.
Don't know the opportunity cost of doing such a thing but in theory it makes sense. YOY growth for 5 straight years is very important to investors.

People are really projecting 15m next fiscal year? I mean, it's going to be way up in Q1 obviously, but Q2 will be way down guaranteed (versus slim launch), and Q3/4 may be flat or down too without another price cut and (arguably) weaker software lineup. We'll know better after E3 what the rest of the year looks like, but people should be wary of expecting YOY gains to just continue on as is...


15 million is possible. Although alot of that will depend on how successful Move really is.

The future Kevin Butler says that it's a tremendous hit.

This definitely seals the issue! Anybody already warned him to avoid the Cinco de Mayo Flan?
