Sorry guys... I just got sick and can't update the thread.

Anyway... 3.7m was expected after NPD, Nintendo and GFK numbers... my previous prediction was 3.4m but after the good news over 3.5 was expected.

And why the division had loss is almost impossible to know... all the Sony produts are in this division.

Congrats Sony.

Nah, for that to happen the ps3 would have to sell exceptionally well and the x360 would have to sell very poorly which is quite unlikely to happen.

edit: but with good marketing they could maybe closen the gap a little bit more. but since its sony, fat chance of getting a good marekting push.

well i also little surprised CPS division had a loss of $449 million USD
guess Sony still thinking pass 360 first,not profit first

Well, that includes all of their consumer products.  They list the reasons for the lower sales/loss, I'm assuming in order of importance.  The top 3 reasons were lower LCD TV sales, exchange rates, and lower PC sales.

On that note, We need to prepare the grand entrance for NJ5 to show up (usually does when Sony is having financial difficulties).

Why is it troubling to some and joyful to others when Sony will report their quarterly loss? Is it really a surprise that every Japanese company that has been radiated in Japan/flooded in Thailand/currency-exchange-derated (if such a word even existed) in the past months posts a heavy loss this time of the year?


I guess they like to see the companies they hate make a loss.  Most people don't think about the fact that it's not the people up top that are as affected as the regular families putting food on the table that suffer the most from these losses when jobs have to be cut.  That's one of my other qualms when fanboys want one of the big three to pull out of the industry.  Many people are making a living trying to feed families.

Wait!... [cue in the violins] Now..., knock yourself out!

Good PS3 numbers

I wonder why they expected 6M of PSP and 4M of PS2 for whole FY. Both are already healthy above 50% of this target.

Shipped number means that we have around 1.5 million PS3's setting on shelves. Number seems about right for this time of the year.

i dont know if its only me or there is anyone else also.. but i dont think sony shipped more than 2.5M.
they are selling less than last yr in US, Japan and probably in UK (based on less than stellar performance on multi-plat and exclusive titles)... so the upward trend in other countries is not going to fill this gap alone..

3.7m

Idk.  I would think so, but that's about what they had for the 360, but now they adjusted it up to be ~362K on shelves.  VGC has ~1.11 mil PS3's on shelves.  And while I think it's logical there would be more PS3's on shelves, with it being shipped to a few more countries, I don't think it would be ~750K more.  I think we are going to see a few more adjustments when all is said and done.
