@fkusumot: They're talking about the operating loss which I also mention in the article.

In any case, let's call it a break even result. These amounts are insignificant for a company of Sony's size. It's almost statistical noise.

Nintendo's up:

CY Q4 Shipments (LTD):

NDS: 11.89m (96.22m)
WII: 10.41m (44.96m)
360: 6.0m (28.5m)
PSP: 5.08m (49.6m)
PS3: 4.46m (21.30m)
PS2: 2.52m (136.3m)

Okay.

And holy crap at Wii/DS! Wow!

Vgchartz 2009, 2 january LTD

NDS: (97.12m)

WII: (45.55m)

360: (27.38m)

PSP: (43.37m)

PS3: (19.5m)

PS2: (124.25m)

Oops, DS and Wii slightly overtracked. PS3 possibly slightly undertracked (depends whether retailers have a lot of stock or not). 360 seems fine.

PS2 probably some "accounting issue" I suppose. PSP I don't know.

So I suspect we're going to be seeing some adjustments all around!

And for Wii to drop under 49% again.

During Sony's live broadcast he was asked when PS3 hardware will be profitable. The reply was that if current foreign exchange rates continue then with the introduction of 45nm they expect to see improved margin and profit during the latter half of next year. He was asked if he meant fiscal year or calender year, but unfortunately I missed that answer, I also think he said 45nm manufacture had already begun, but I'll have to wait for the recording which will go up 30 minutes after the end of the broadcast.

Interesting, thanks. I was on the phone on that part, so I couldn't hear it, gotta hear the replay later.

DS is alot higher in Others for the year vs. the shipments...well by units not by percentages. I've asked Brett to make an adjustment there. Wii and DS are a bit high in the Americas, and Wii is a bit high in Others.

Does anyone have market size for digital download games (XBLA, PSN, WiiWare)?
