Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony Q3 FY2012 - $124m loss, PS3+PS2 6.8m, PSV+PSP 2.7m

There is 0% chance PS2 matched last year numbers, otherwise Sony wouldnt have descontinued. So PS3 shipped around 6.2-6.4 million, so gap is around 600k-800k between 360 and PS3. So one more quarter and PS3 will be on top.

Your loss number is wrong by the way, 10.72 Yen is the loss per ordinary share (like $0.01 per share), the loss in the quarter was 10.8b Yen.

10.7 or 10.8?... I will update the OP... I'm using the dollar-yen ratio from 31th Dec to do the maths.

I guess around october you'll hear Sony saying they shipped 80m PS3s.

I guess before September...

I think the next quarter sales will be...

360: 1.1m
PS3: 1.6m

Close but not enough to put PS3 on top but it will happen for sure in Apr-Jun quarter.

I asked that because the PS3 sales will ends 110-115m liferime... so 360 needs to get close to 105m to be 7 million behind.

Uncertain where you're getting 115mil for the PS3 from. It'd have to sell another 43mil from here to reach that. To say it'll be lucky to get close to 10mil this year that's really streching it.

Let's say (including current sales for this year) the PS3 end at 80mil sold for this year (which is pretty much the average in the prediciton thread). I don't see where the other 35mil are going to come from after the PS4 launch. This gen isn't like the previous for Sony; it won't just keep selling. 

 

90-95mil seems more reasonable.

only 80m!! i'm predictig 85m.

So PS3 shipment stand at around 75.2m, as expected IDC report turned out to be false.

so when would you estimate PS3 to shipp 80m, and do you think PS3 will shipp 80m before 360?

Using the rounded numbers...

360: 76m
PS3: 75m

Plus estimate for Q4 FY2012 (Sony) / Q3 FY2013 (Microsoft)

360: 1.1m (77.1m LT)
PS3: 1.6m (76.6m LT)

Plus estimate for Q1 FY2013 (Sony) / Q4 FY2013 (Microsoft)

360: 0.9m (78.0m LT)
PS3: 2.1m (78.7m LT)

 

So in the Apr-Jun quarter PS3 outship 360 (there are a good margin for that) and in Jul-Sep quarter PS3 reach 80 million... with a price cut near 87 million at the end of 2013.

That's my prediction.

87m shipped or sold? i have 85m sold end of 2013
