Disgusting...



I'm surprised they don't mention the drop in the PS2 sales.

They talk about a deterioration of profitability in the games business, but in the same quarter last year they just had a ~ $50 million profit... Not much room there for a lower number, I wonder if it was a loss or a profit?

Wow that's a huge hit Sony received. When's the Nintendo one out?

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Even more interesting is that the loss in the SCE/VAIO/Walkman division was basically the same as the loss for Sony as a whole.

It could be just due to weird accounting though. I certainly wasn't expecting the electronics division to turn profitable in this quarter. Of course it's helped by the fact that it doesn't include VAIO anymore.

How do the shipments match up with us?



PS2 actually outshipped the other systems. Lifetime to date:

PS2 HW (1.6m) - 139.3m LTD

PSP HW (1.3m) - 53m LTD

PS3 HW (1.1m) - 22.83m LTD

 

SW

PS2 - 8.5m - ~1.5b LTD

PSP 8.3m  ~218m LTD

PS3 - 14.8m  189.7m LTD

 

For comparison, through June 2009 Microsoft had shipped 31.4m Xbox 360s and 270m games. We're still waiting for Nintendo's quarterly results.
