Better than shipped, like they used to be.




It's late, my eyes are cloudy, I'm wondering why I'm up, and I'm trying hard as hell to understand this.

Well, depends on what your deifnition of shipped means. On GAF, when someone posts PR from a company saying "such and such sold this much!" and everyone comes in and say "is that shipped or sold?" In that case, shipped = sold to retailers.

Beforehand, Sony did something strange that the other two didn't do, which was basically shipped = how many they've manufactured and shipped to warehouses.

It's all confusing.

Slightly.

not sure why, they have to be extremely careful in what they report and how.


It would appear that the PS3 business is now close to being in the black given the Q3 - Q4 performance of the game division. ie it made a profit in those qtrs.

Electronics is doing well, PCs and cameras esp, Bravias down a bit due to price pressure.

Phones also up.

Would anyone expect this 6 months ago this type of turn around starting to happen for Sony? PSP is outselling the DS in Japan, PS3 sales are up in NA and EU, PS2 sales are still strong, Blu Ray defeated HD DVD. I told you that the tide was turning and it's going to continue turning in Sony's direction for the next year. You will continue to see good Sony news.

19 months and dozens of kleenex boxes later, vindication attempts to smile on your "I was right and I knew it all along" orientation. Good fortune lies ahead...

*sees Beedog's post*

...nevermind, just more kleenex boxes.

Interesting.

As of today the PS3 might be close to 14 million units if the HW saw a decent WW GTA4 bump. It's also feasible that by the end of June the PS3 will stand at 15 million units thanks to a MGS4 HW bump.

PS3 seems to be catching up decently fast... well, faster than I pictured.
