very good numbers. and they made a profit?


~560 million US$. Very good numbers.


a couple of more quarters like this and maybe the PS3 may not be a financial disaster afterall


Maybe 10-12 quarters like this would make the numbers.

i say the ps3 has about 4 years left so they have 16 quarters to make a profit off of it

Not all the quarters are Christmas ones.

yeah thats true. but this year i am expecting ps3 to sell 15 million again at $300 (greater profit). Also the games being published by sony this year  should add to the profit.

If there is an adjustment it will probably only be a small one.  But anyway, shipment gap between PS3 and 360 is now under 3 mil, with 2.9 mil.

What's the amount of profit Sony needs to make with the PS3 now to make it profitable overall?

i think it was about 3 billion? maybe 4

So bottom line how much did the big 3 ship during 2010?

It's a very complicated number to say, because you have the PS2 and PSP proffiting all those quarters. I'm more pessimistic about this number, in the 5.5 to 6 bln US$ range.

PS3 SW - 57.6m
PSP SW - 16.5m
PS2 SW - 5.3m


6.3 million shipped vs thesource's prediction of 6 million shipped (OP post)

looks like an adjustment is soon to follow, again

It's a mere 5% difference.  Not much reason to adjust.

right,i check last 3 month VGC,no need to adjustment(well thats because already adjusted last week)

Incorrect, VGC has the 360 ahead of the PS3 by 4.2 million units, shipment data does not match that.

During calendar year 2010, Sony shipped 14.4 million PS3 consoles.
Nintendo shipped 17.2 million Wii consoles.

So far into the current Fiscal year, Sony shipped 12.2 million units and has a target of 15 million units (2.8 estimated for next quarter)
Nintendo shipped during this fiscal year 13.7 million units and has a target of 16 million units (2.3 estimated for the next quarter)

I think both will get there, I expect PS3 to outship the Wii during this quarter based on better Japanese and EMEEA sales.

I don't have MS figures.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

As has been explained several times, where are those consoles? VGC matches the other tracking firms, and they can't put the consoles in the void. They are probably in very hard to track countries.
