Off topic. By quoting your little sister in your sig, it would appear you HAVE entered your own pitfall and contradicted yourself

 I know!

I read the interview which took place in Tokyo on a Japanese site. In Japanese, his numbers for US, Europe and Japan are all SHIPPED. He doesn't say sold.

... following Black Friday: 

"Stringer today said the company sells about 200,000 PlayStation 3 consoles in Europe each week, and 40,000 to 50,000 in Japan. It also sold more than 200,000 in the U.S. following ``Black Friday,'' the day after Thanksgiving."

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601080&sid=aw752an8t4RE&refer=asia

Anyway promising figures, even if just newly sold units to retail.


I always look for vague meaning or possible double speak in Sony PR, and I do seem some possible misinterpretations here. 

See how it says they sell 200k systems a WEEK in Europe? I do, and that's precise and not ambiguous in the slightest. Then, see how it sells they sold 200k systems in the US, but gives no precise time frame? I doubt that's an oversight, but we'll see. Given Sony's history with these remarks, it's quite possible that they wanted to imply they were selling 200k a week in the US, and give that impression, without it actually being the case and without actually lying. In any case, it means Ioi is right on the money with European PS3 figures.  


Well ,I think that as Stringer was explicitly speaking about weekly sales in both Europe and Japan he also refered to weekly sales in US "after the BF week  " .

And about European figures Stringer says 200K weekly that more or less means they have at least managed some of these in a row .At the very least 2 consecutive weeks .The site is only showing 1 week at 195K and the prior one at 150+K .And Stringer is saying clearly Europe and the site is adding to Europe the data of Australia ,New Zealand and Others .So the data doesnt coincide so much ,theres at the very least a 80-90K discrepancy .



Well what was said that since Black Firday, 200k PS3's have been sold thereafter. Meaning in the last 2 weeks sales data, in the US 200k PS3's should have shown. So we might actually be overestimating. Who knows. I think if we add the rest of America in that'd be about 250k.

Also from the article:

"Chief Financial Officer Nobuyuki Oneda said Oct. 25 that the company may WILL miss its target to sell 11 million of the consoles during the year ending March 31."

Sad news for Sony if their CFO is correct.

Fixed.

400k-500k sales for the PS3 / week, is around expectations/normal for this time of year. Around 3 weeks left, on target for around 8.5m sales by end of '07.

The question is what happens once the holidays end - sales will drop around 75%-80% (normal).

They are still on target for missing FY projections by 2.5m-3.0m - depending on channel stuffing. Losing MGS in Q1 '08 wasn't part of their plan either.

how many times have we been fed sony PR bullcrap?

how for their sakes that this time it may be decently true



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

I think the important point here is that only two months ago when the ps3 was selling like vomit outside of Europe everyone would have put the 11 mio in dreamland. Lots of people were sure it would go down in flames. Doesn't seem too likely now . Arbitrary sales targets should only he of interest for analysts. I wasnt so sure anymore but 400$, good games and Xmas have changed everything.
