Forums - Sales - SCEE ship 1.2M PS3s in Europe during final 5 weeks of 2007.

^not that much... I am assuming that not all store sold out. In fact I am assuming that most stores sold the PS3 in others like the 360 was in the US. Easy to find but selling well.

I am really throw number outs. I think it is between 200-300k over tracked I had not considered what shams said...

1.2m seems about right - see this graph:

When you include *all* Other, it doesn't change much either:

wow I guess I should be giving some props to VGC for the good numbers... I mean if they were off by 100k, that is still pretty dang good : )

Well Europe is Sony's strongest market right now.

Here PS3 sales the last 5 weeks according to VGC......

Dec. 02
176,465 2,544,495
Dec. 09
227,402 2,771,897
Dec. 16
276,288 3,048,185
Dec. 23
340,306 3,388,491
Dec. 30
238,490 3,626,981

Total: 1,258,951 sold
Shipped: 1,200,000

Not bad. Sony shipped 1:1 with what they sold.

According to this VGC has almost 300k more sold than Sony shipped.... granted the number sony gave began dec 1, and Outlawauron's start Nov 25 or so... So still About 150k more sold according to VGC than sony says they shipped... could be off by as much as 500k depending on shortages and how much retailers stocked up out there...


Wrong! Sony said the last 5 weeks. Not the month of December. My numbers are right.

What evidence do have to believe that VGC over tracked. If anything, it means the VGC is right on target.

VGC is probably spot on. Remember if you are having a good holiday season not plagued by shortages, then you should be selling more than you shipped in the same timeframe. If not then your probably not doing so hot.

Even the man himself now doubts this bullish projection:

We haven't made any conclusion whether we have to give it up,'' Hirai said, referring to this fiscal year's 11 million shipment target. ``It depends on how aggressively dealers buy our PS3 inventory.''

Considering how many reports we keep reading of "huge piles of PS3s" in various stores, I'm guessing the answer will be "not very fast"

 

 Am I the only one who's never seen these "piles of PS3s" everyone's talking about? The only thing I see at my gamestop are the empty display boxes. (systems are kept in the back room) I feel left out.



Is this Prediction not for Europe only?

Because VGC has Europe at 889,696.

-'Others' includes places that are not in Europe-

eg. Australia, and Other

Am I the only one who sees this?

``It's an industry consensus that PS3 sales will fall short of the target,'' said Mitsuhiro Osawa, a Tokyo-based analyst at Mizuho Investors Securities Co., who rates Sony shares ``outperform.'' ``Sony must think it's okay as long as the game business doesn't drag much on its overall earnings.''

Sony is expected to sell 8 million PlayStation 3s in the year ending March 31, missing its annual target by 27 percent, Daiwa said in a Jan. 18 report. Nintendo will probably sell 19 million Wii machines and Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft will ship 9.1 million Xbox 360 consoles, according to Daiwa.

Nope, and plenty of folks on this site (including you of course) have been calling it for months.

I officially sux at making Sony and MS predictions... I am quite good at Nintendo though.... I guess I should stick with my bread and butter : )

I was soo confused on this one last night it was not even funny... I am very happy to see that VGC is VERY accurate with others Hardware!
