Forums - Sales - WW Hardware Shipments Update

@reverie
Sonys old method counted a PS2 that had been sent as a replacement for a faulty machine, of which there were many... if they had only counted sales to retail like they did before PS2 [they changed in 2000] and like they do now, then Sonys LTD numbers would be much lower.

You can actually see the difference in old fiscals, I believe in the 2001 report they gave numbers for 99-00 [as a comparison] which showed different numbers to the 99 report which used sales to "customer" [by which they mean retail]

TWRoO,

Oh I didn't know that. Could you point me to where you found that? I just went through the Annual Reports from 2001 back to 1998, and they all quote production shipments. 1997 and before don't have figures on the Playstation.
