I think what should be pointed out, that though they state (by law) that they switched the method that they report shipments of hardware from "produced" to "sold" (as in to retailers of course), but they never say that any single piece of hardware that was counted under the old system would not be counted under the new system. In other words, some PS2s (and PS3s and PSPs) might have been counted twice. Though I can't say for sure, I don't know how hard it would be to track which units were already counted, nor do I know what kind of legal laws would arise from this change and how strict those laws are. |
This was the major part i was not sure about, were systems counted twice. But i always figured this was against the law due to these being public finance records, and submitted to the governments and shareholders.
@damkira, we are talking about the Fiscal year, which goes from March31 2007 until March31 2008 for Sony. For the date ending December31 2007 they had sold 11.38million PS2's from April1 2007. We have no records from Sony for 2008 so far.
