Sky Render on 06 January 2008

Time is all I have at the moment, 'til classes start again. Plus, I enjoy making silly meme images. It's all fun and games, really, and I don't quite get why people take whimsical stuff like this seriously. I know I certainly don't, which might explain why I don't get the upset factor, I suppose...

FishyJoe,

The funny thing is that Tretton recently said in an interview with Dean Takahashi that they mean 11 million sold-to-consumers, not sold-to-retail, which was obvously BS. I wish somebody would tell the FDA to kick their asses for making false statements about the performance of their company. Ok, I mean SEC, but FDA might help as well.

@ leo... that's another reason I kept it as just the PS3 line for the original, you all take things so seriously.

What Tretton said was what Sony wanted to sell, not what they have sold.

 

And to the Wii fans, you get a lol. You can quote hardware sales while the best hardcore 3rd party games are on PS3/360. What is the use of great hardware sales when 3rd parties don't care about you? lol

Someone needs to get Sony to make statements under oath

11 million sold-to-retail is Sony's official forecast, so he misrepresented the contents of their financial guidance.

Not just that but it's for the fiscal year only, not LTD (total) numbers. By Sony's forecasts, the total number of shipped PS3s by the 31st of March 2008 would be 14.57 million.

It will be interesting to see if they reduce their forecast in the upcoming Q3 financial report, they really should or massive egg will be on their faces when they make their fiscal year report.
