You're right, I was doing the numbers while you posted them ;)

I didn't expect them to slow down so fast but the historical data supports your point.



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

The thing to remember is its better to marginally satisfy 150m people than to really satisfy 40 million.

So they've shipped 101.78 DSs to retailers.

We're in the ~10% margin of error but it's overtracked by a few million.

Blast. I just realized now that this isn't this weeks data. My mistake. Continue on VGC!

I think we have to wait until tomorrow for the supplementary information, but does anyone know when they post their annual report?



shams on 07 May 2009

Is there more information? This seems to include everything I am used to seeing from them...

We'll have to wait until E3 for more.

Now - when does Sony release their figures?
