Wow, 2nd worse Q3 results since 2008.


ha ha ha hhhhaaaaa

priceless

my god you're soooo desperate arent you.

You must be gutted.

If they ship 1.8 next qtr... and that is very likely.  FY2012 is the best year ever for Xbox.

Why would they ship more next quarter?

Likely Price drop?

 

 

Magic?

dirty and seece and kowen are saying that there likely isn't a price drop for at least two months...that's almost the whole quarter outside of ten days!

So, the 360 must be overtracked because there can't be a price drop, but they will ship more next quarter because of the price drop?

So, if I get this right, it must be undertracked somewhere other than USA, because dealers wouldn't buy so many units for a price drop two months away, however they will buy more units when it's a month away or less. That's understandable, but where's the evidence? Will it be in next quarter's report? As in, if next quarter they ship 1.8m then that means it's true, and if they ship .8 it's false?

It feels like they overshipped - that 8.7m Wiis Nintendo shipped in late 2010 was based off of similar Q4 US numbers and they needed six months to fix it in the US (Europe was fine). 

The March 2012 shipment figures are far worse than the drop off in sales would normally indicate. They've had similar US figures and shipped substantially more than this in the past three March quarters.

The 8.7m Q for Nintendo was preceeded by Ninty's first ever 'low' Q of 1.9m, the following 3 after that holiday Q were nothing to do with stocking problems, more just Wii fizzling out.

360 isn't 'substantially' behind this Q vs past years. Like I already said, it's always been in a 1.3 - 1.7m range. Apart from last year which was because of shortages in Q4.

Add both previous Q4 + Q1's together and the're within 0.6m of each other. You're just desperate for the 360 to start faltering so Wii doesn't look so terrible!

why is everyone ignoreing that this is the 360's best first 3 qtrs shipments ever?

Because somehow retailers/MS havn't sorted out the overshipping problems, and we have to wait till next Q to see the true results *Rinse, repeat*

I wouldn't rule out USA completely because of NPD, there is room for error on their part there - an extra 500k in the past 6 months would definitely fall within the margin of error, with the remainder spread out thru parts of Europe and emerging markets.

No, NPD is never that far off. Why is it so hard to believe that the 360 can sell well in other countries?

Because no proof of this actual exists. We get data from USA, most of Europe, and Japan - the Europe/Japan sources are as solid as it gets, but the USA one has more room for error.

I already credited some of the difference to "emerging markets", but the entire difference coming from there? That would be tough for vgchartz going into the future if MS is able to sell that many consoles without anyone picking up a trace of it.

None of what you says disqualifies what I said - the 2009 / 2010 / 2012 Q1 sales in the US were 1.05-1.1m. The previous quarters were all over 1.5m. European sales are either bad, or too many boxes were shipped in Q4. You still argue like every console Microsoft sells wins you a million dollars too :)  I kind of assumed you wouldn't care what I say since you successfully got me removed from writing on here, but it turns out you are just on here to troll which does make sense given everything you do and say.

I like how lively these forums can get when we get numbers that some like and some don't like

lol, stop being so defensive, that goes to all others too. We are getting shipment numbers on a sales forums, things will always get lively. Wait until the Sony one comes out.

MS is coming off their best holiday period ever with huge demands, then to fall off like any other year says something ain't right somewhere.
