Forums - Sales Discussion - Sony Shareholder meeting: TLOU: 19m, GoW: 12m, infamous SS: 6m

Gran Turismo Sport at 8M would make me very happy. And would show it is still strong.

Mr Puggsly: "Hehe, I said good profit. You said big profit. Frankly, not losing money is what I meant by good. Don't get hung up on semantics"

Using VGC estimates ? Nice.

Best besides NPD, Japanese Trackers and company own trackers.

But worldwide free, it is the best by thousand miles.

Whether the numbers are a little off or not, that is some impressive revenue/employee ratio for Sony.

This is a summary of Dan Loeb's assessment as to why Sony should be broken up (separate chip, sensors from entertainment). Most of this information is guesstimates (including information from this site)

This guy, again?  He just wants them to split, not for the betterment of the company, but so he can get an uptick in his share's prices that would potentially happen if they split.  He was trying to get them to do the opposite, spin off the entertainment portion of the company, just 6-7 years ago.  And they are thriving now because they didn't listen to him.  Wish he'd just shut up and go away.

mm? Does that mean "million million"?

MM refers to a thousand thousand, as M is the Roman numeral for 1000.  MM was the standard way of indicating a million, as far as I knew, until the last decade or so.  I think most people just use a single M now.  I sometimes still use MM though.

Building shareholder value is the only reason the company exists.  That can happen one of two ways - by increasing the market price of a share of stock, or by paying a dividend.  Everybody involved in the company should be trying to move the stock price up.

I've never seen MM over here in Europe. mm has always had a fixed meaning, millimeters or 1/100th of a meter.



Interesting Datas.

And "Days Gone" is Bend Studios highest selling game of all time, i hear.

That got changed due to 2 reasons: confusion with millimeter (mm), and the fact that in Roman numerals, that doesn't mean thousand times thousand, but thousand plus thousand, aka 2000. In many regions, that has never caught on in the first place due to these reasons.

A single M is doubly practical: It both denotes Million, but also Mega - the latter use having caught on mostly due to computers (Megabytes (though Mebibytes would be more correct if calculating storage sizes), Megahertz...) and electronics (Megawatt, anyone?)
