Question, what are the exact start and end dates for Q2 2012?

Is it Jan1st to Mar 31st, or is it the first sun in Jan to the last Sat in March?

Wii - 0.6m
X360 - 1m
PS3 - 1.4m

I hope I'm lowballing them all...

I predict Sony and Nintendo fans will make Microsoft doom threads when Microsoft reveal the $1bn loss for the quarter due to a $6bn accounting write down. I'll post shipment predictions in a min...

i bet only 1 guy will do that

So, I'm going for

Wii - .85m + 0% = .85m
360 - 1.6m +20% = 1.9m
PS3 - 2.1m + 40% = 3m

The percentages I took from here -> http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=113854&page=2

thats not microsofts decision....

you are talking nonsense.


Except last time you were wondering how it could be possible for ms to be stocking so many consoles and then I retorted that MS could have shipped ot itself for the 99$ deal. Then you guys said "for one store?! You're out of your mind". Then suddenly all the major outlets carry the deal.

I said it would make sense for MS to overship based on a price drop, and it was denied. Meanwhile, it looks like all the major outlets are using this same pricing model. Will you ever admit that maybe outlets have too much stock and are trying to push them out?

His point (if I understand it correctly) is that MS (along with Sony and Nintendo) ships what the retailers order, not whatever they want to ship.  It's overshipping if the retail sales are far below sales expectations.  And that overshipping should be compensated for by a decrease in orders/shipments in subsequent quarters.

OT: Sorry, but I'm awful at these predictions.

I do agree that this time the shipments should be lower, but being above 600k does not prove our numbers are wrong, just that some people may (again) just not understand where they are or what they are doing there. Last time we got our answer, against the "facts" that were being "presented".

There really won't be much to see this time around. The consoles are becoming such Grandfathers these days!
