US is the biggest gaming market. You can't just go "but but but WW!!!!" to make yourself feel better anytime you see negative news in one territory or another. Anyone can see the spin and angle you're taking.

What he's saying is the PS3 sells badly in NA so it only shows one side of the story like showing Xbox's sales in Japan and others excluding NA
@Tenkin : Thanks. That's exactly what I meant.

PS3 isn't as badly as "360 in Japan" anywhere, that's pretty much an incomparable situation. And honestly, I'd say PS3's doing far, far worse in Japan than America anyway.
@jarrod : yeah in Japan they're only outselling 360 between 10:1 and 30:1 every week, so they're clearly doing bad.
Wait, say what ??
If PS3 is doing bad in Japan, then 360 performance there is utterly laughable and pathetic.
This is an NPD thread, which is US.
Japan is a smaller market and the xbox brand was never big there.
Overall, US sales are more significant just because far more consoles are sold. Japan probably isn't even the second largest country when it comes to video games sales anymore, that may go to the UK.
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
@grimes : last week, Sony sold 90k consoles in the US, 65k in Japan, 140k in Europe. So Europe looks more relevant than the US, and Japan is not so far from the US, at least if we're talking about Sony numbers.
If you talk about Sony numbers and you choose to exclude every country except the one where it's not performing that well, it doesn't make much sense either.
You can hardly exclude Europe / Others where it sells a lot more than in the US.

I believe I just mentioned the UK the #1 country in Europe and #2 in the world for video games. And I never excluded Europe or anywhere else, so don't put words in my mouth. All I said that US was far more substantial than Japan when it comes to video game sales.

@Grimes: I don't put any word in YOUR mouth, I'm talking about this article, this thread, explaining why it doesn't make sense at all in my opinion.
My point about this Gamasutra article is they're taking NPD numbers and use it to conclude something about the PS3, while as I just showed, the US is not at all Sony PS3 main market, since it sells a lot more elsewhere...
Well we all knew Sony weren't doing so great anyway, financially. Still, down a billion, ouch...

Apparently, you have no idea on how sales forecast and supply chain work. The PS2s and PSPs were already manufactured based on Sony's forecast. Due to poor PS2 and PSP sales, those units are probably sitting in Sony's warehouse right now. However, Sony already paid for those units to be made but cannot not sell them to retails. Hence, they may face a huge loss this quarter. We will see. |
Well technically i believe they can write those off as "assets" until they eventually sell.
Or write them off as "depriciation of assets" if they don't see before they have to cut prices.
Still, the damage control is pretty intersting.
