Except for the fact they aren't losing money.

 you are correct, as I was thinking profit, but mis-typed money.

@ Mikeb...you're kidding me right?  You're actually championing a 50% decrease...alrighty then.

Damn, of course the boss was faster...

You can't subtract sold units from the total shipment number and expect the rest to be European shipment numbers. That would mean that there were no PS3's in stores in both Japan and the US.

However it does seems like Microsoft is competing very well in Europe after the price cut.

It looks like 2009 holiday season is going to be REALLY fierce, with alot of hot games, and probably more surprises to come.  I can only imagine that each console will be looking to completely breakaway from the pack, and that's a VERY good time and good thing for consumers around the world.

ioi said: You can't compare shipments to sales - there were something like 1.5m PS3s in the channel in March and ~500k now so those 1m have all been sold during last quarter as well. Try using the figures on the site

You can't use estimates as facts. The numbers give a rough indication (which is great, I don't question your work here) but they aren't accurate enough to be used as a source for this.

mate its because other doesnt mean europe it means rest of world. and apparently 360 is the main console in central and south america

I personally enjoy the Japan total for the 360

MS is maybe expecting to sell more console.

But, the console is not selling as they would have wanted ...

I have been seeing a lot more dots around the world on the map in Halo 3.

where are numbers of the ps3 and the 360,idon't get a shite
