Forums - Sales - Sony's Financial Results for Oct-Dec 2010

Also, I expect the gap to be bigger on VGC because Sony ships to more countries than MS does.  However, I would imagine the gap would only be ~ 500K larger.

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

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.


You really want me to tell you where those consoles are? Either way that's a very poor explanation. VGC uses a formula to calculate sales, obviously they're not accounting for all regions. Manufacturers must report total shipment numbers and cannot lie on those numbers. Bottom line, VGC numbers are off.


So VGC should create a "We don't know where" or "Atlantis" to place those consoles? It's more important to you the epeen than the fidelity of the numbers?

VGC does try to track all regions.  The hard to track regions lay in EMEAA.  Besides, it looks like they are pretty close on the PS3 numbers.  They are just overtracking the 360.

Doubtful, PS3 has only been gaining about 1 million a year, and MS doesn't just sit back while Sony gains ground, I think at best Sony will gain 2 million on the 360, but it's hard to tell, at anyrate MS needs to make a move and fast ps3 has a ton of exclusives for 2011 and 360 has barely any

I disagree that PS3 can easily hit 2.8m in Q1 2011 by the way. Japan is down a fair bit in the quarter so far (14% drop from Jan 2010 to Jan 2011), I'm expecting the Americas to be down too. Sony only shipped 2.2m in Q1 2010 and that was with the price cut closer to the time frame and in my opinion bigger games - God of War III (March), FFXIII (March). 

Also, Dec 2010 quarter (6.3m) was down from Dec 2009 quarter (6.5m) for PS3 on weaker Japan / USA sales - I see no reason to expect that not to continue in Q1 2011. PS3 shipments should easily beat FY 3/2010 anyway - 14.2m to 13m - but 15m is a bit ambitious given the most recent trends. On the other hand, PS2 should be around 6.5m, not the 6m Sony projects. The main thing with PS3 is its been down since it lapped the PS3 Slim / PS3 at $300 price point in the USA and Japan and that won't change without a price cut.

Q1 2011 will probably be 2.3m Wii / 2m PS3 / 2m X360 for shipments.

And will be for 360/Kinect. 

We wont see any big changing trend till 3thQ after E3.

Move was a failure. It can hold Europe and Japan for a little longer duo the Wii saturation, but the PS3 momentum was 2009/2010 in NA.
