Kresnik said: As was discussed in the GAF thread on this - why is this CESA "white paper" updated with LTD shipments for Vita as of 31st December 2014, but is about 2 years out of date with their PSP data? Surely if they have access to manufacturer's shipment data, they'd ask for the full whack (i.e. every console), not just pick and choose some of them. Aside from that, Sony have gone to every effort to obscure Vita shipments since its launch, going as far as to stopping disclosing handheld shipments this year. I don't get why they'd suddenly just openly disclose to a source like this. If it is reliable, then all we've got to go on is that it was 9.76m as of December 2014... so looks about on track here, probably a little bit overtracked (9.63m as of December 27th). The rest is just commentary based on that I'm-not-convinced-is-reliable 82m PSP figure which we've discussed to death in the other thread. Maybe they'll release another white paper at the end of this year and then you can finally put an end to this argument :P |
Yeah, you're forgetting that ioi adjusted it psv up by 1.3m in April (without fixing the previous weeks, that's why it's near to the official figure of shipments)... So what? For instance, Npd doesn't dicloses its numbers and fights hard to not have them leaked, but they're getting leaked...
Sony Japan may do that but it didn't prevent us from learning that 600k psv have been sold as of June 2015 in spain and 446k in France as of december 2014, both from the mouth of sony's exutives... Plus that we're occasioanlly getting updated LTD numbers for european markets by news sites, and GFK hide its numbers, they don't even give us rankings and sometimes gaffers on pal chart threads are leaking them!
Sony shipped 450k psp+psv in FY14 Q4 (JAN-MAR 2015), we agree that most of it represents psv, like 400k, + 9.76M+400k=10.16m, vgc had it at 10.3m, and then ioi adjusted up to 11.6m...
Also, the guardian points out that psv sales since it's launch till january 2013 are at 4m vs 4.4m here... Even, without the adjustment up of april, psv was overtracked, but excluding the guardian thing, vgc had the sales to be more than the shipments regardless, and it deteriorated it with the huge adjustment up!
Let's not comment about that 82m psp again, this new thread isn't based on that, I just included it the findings from the previous one to support them with the new findings, which are official now! :P
Come on kresnik, all things add up... Then the interview, now that paper!
Excluding all these things, do you find rational, that europe is now psv best selling market instead of Japan, where psv is having game support+the merit of handheld market dominance, while in europe, the absolute nothing?
