Am I reading this wrong, or is everyone else? When they say FROM November TO December, I'm thinking the month of November, not December. Notice it doesn't say through December. Could be wrong, of course.

Edit:  Glad to see I'm not the only one. 

the holiday season retail sales of PlayStation®3 (PS3®) computer entertainment systems during the five weeks following the last week of November 2009 exceeded 3.8 million units worldwide

They meant December, they just worded it wrong in the article.

 

VGC has PS3 at 3.77m, so if by 'retail sales' they mean sold to consumers, VGC is spot on.


So does that mean... Ps3 sales doesnt need to be adjusted at all?

No, no... I made a mistake, this is 2009... commented that above.

I still have no idea of what they mean by November to December.

why don't just go mcv...

http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/sony-shifts-6-5m-playstation-consoles-over-christmas/089488

November 18th to December 31st

So MCV says Sony estimates 6.5m, and we have it at 4.6m for the same time period.

So, Sony has overshipped by 2m. How many were already on the shelves at that point, I wonder? 1? 2? It's usually around 2, so we're looking at say 3.5 million on shelves? Can someone clear this up for me?

wtf?

that's 3.9m PS3,1.6m PSP,0.5m PSV&PS2=6.5m

The 6.5 million is for all PS consoles, so it includes the PS3, PS2, PSP, and Vita.

Again, we have it at 4.6m, not 3.9.

So.... people bought more than they shipped during those months, or what?

Their estimate was lower than ours?

I'm confused, are you saying that the ps3 is overtracked?

I think it's ironic that Sony's own numbers is what's proving Steve Ballmers statement to be true.

I really wouldn't jump to any conclusions quite yet.  These look to be Sony's estimates for retail sales.  We'll have to wait til NPD and then shipment numbers to get the whole picture.

LOL funny how when all we have is VGC numbers it's all signed sealed and delivered, but when we get actual solid shipment info it's 'lets not jump to any conclusions yet'

I'd quite like to see the impossible made possible, (which is impossible, ironically.)

Eh, yeah, we only have one half of the sales data so far, until we have Sony's shipment figures it's impossible to say that anybody has 'won'. But what is funny & what nobody seems to mention is what Microsoft shipped this year compared to what they actually sold is significantly different due to the fact that they had to heavily overship in Q1 to make up for undershipping in Q4 of last year.
