Seems to be on track. 300k on shelves is reasonable, maybe a little overtracked imo.

So Sony has 6.9 million PS3 to go. Does this include the GTAV bundles?
You mean in the Red. ^^ |
You mean in Green, in Japan when it is red you make a profit.
I'm also shocked that the Mobile division went up by a huge precent and yet they still make a loss on it.. a small one but still.. wth are their phones made of if they still can't make a profit with it..

No, you are assuming that at the start of the quarter there were no PS3's on shelves. If VGC is right, as of 30 Sep 13 there were 300k more PS3's on shelves than there was at the end of June. Given the relative steady state of PS3 sales, it is unlikely that retailors decided to stock up on additional PS3 units this quarter than they had the previous quarter. Therefore, if anything, it is an indication that PS3 sales may be undertracked, unless stock was short at the end of June (unlikely given its the slowest quarter).
We really need more info to have this overtracked/undertracked conversation

They have been doing a lot of advertising in the UK.... But a bit dissapointing with the increase in sales they still can't make a money
The Game devision is doing fine, its just their other divisions which are causing issues which is unfortunately since they are producing great products
If anything the PS3 is more likely to be undertracked because the gap between the amount of PS3s on shelves and the amount being sold (vgc) has increased every quarter.
With that said VGC has raised the PS3 sales so without looking back and comparing shipments from the last few quarters we cannot be sure.
Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!
Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st ![]()
Sony's hugely improved smartphone range have done well for the company, and mobile sales in the last quarter have increased 39.3 percent since the same period last year. However, the rest of the financial news makes less cheery reading for Sony fans. In total, the company's cut its annual profit forecast down to 30 billion yen (roughly $300 million) -- a 40 percent decrease from the 50 billion yen it expected to pull in, with blame being leveled at multiple flops from its movie department.
Camera sales dropped 6.9 percent, following the continued decline of video camera and compact point-and-shoots -- its imaging arm saw a total loss of $24 million. Meanwhile, TV sales are up, but despite the positive effects of cost reductions and restructuring, the division still lost $123 million in the last quarter. Meanwhile, Sony's own image sensors and components continue to make cash, following the continued boom in smart devices, with an operating income of $122 million for Q2 2013.
Just ahead of its grand PS4 launch, the gaming department made a loss of $8 million, which (a little like Nintendo) it has blamed on "strategic price reduction" of its Vita handheld. It adds that this loss was "partially offset" by software sale increases on the PS3 (although not on the Vita). Sony still managed to sell 2 million new PS3s in the last quarter and it hasn't changed its predictions for the gaming arm. The company is expecting big things from the new PlayStation and a quick shift to profitability, pinning hopes on its content stores that are firmly lodged inside the next-gen console.

Looks like TV Division killed Sony the most again.

That´s even steeper than Nintendo´s losses .
Can they now hold their hands and jump from the cliff definetely ?

Yeah, last I checked Sony haven't got many profitable movie releases this year, Smurfs 2 I think? And that was smaller than the first movie, plus shitload of flops :-/ they need Bond, now.
So it is happening...PS4 preorder.
Greatness Awaits!
