Well. Looks like I was right about that conversation from the MS guy afterall.

Or at least looks that way.

Good work as always Ioi.

So the Sony financials are out then?  Wonder how much profit they made this quarter.  Hope it's big. 

kaz, go to the front page, they've been out for several hours now.

@Kasz, if you call posting bigger numbers then MS big then you're right (to bad they are red, unlike MS).

I tend to agree with everybody that thinks Sony channel stuffed a lot of systems for GTA and probably MGS, this would result in a smaller shipment number for the next FY.

 Yeah I just looked.  Was not expecting a loss.  Weird.  Was hoping they'd make a steady profit that would build up and lead to them being able to afford a pricecut later in the year.

Around 1.5M difference between sell through and shipment numbers is pretty normal, there is really no reason to see it as a sign for being undertracked. It is a shame Sony doesn't seem to give a regional breakthrough to see how the regional numbers compare. Anyone know if there is a chance they'll release such a breakdown later, maybe with the release of the annual report?

not big deferesne

Could also be some channel-stuffing to try and get closer to their (already-lowered) shipment forecast.
