What guys? People being logical?
I own a PS3, own a Vita.. I'm not some Sony hater.
that number of 70m was as of 4th November 2012 and when SONY reported passing 70m, in essence it could be just 70.1m /70.5m /71m as of nov 4th 2012
even by some generous estimates, ps2 sales this year especially in the last 3 quarters were much lower than last year and hence discontinued due to rising marginal cost
Explain where my Math is wrong then.
Sony did 6.8 million for both PS3 and PS2, for October-December.
Even assuming 0 PS2 shipments.
They announced 70 million in mid-November, stating they surpassed that number on November 4th.
So again.. 70 + 6.8 - October shipments, - PS2 Shipments.
Even if you set PS2 shipments at 0, they'd have to have shipped only 800k units in October of 2012, and the other 6 million in November/December in order to have surpassed 76 million units sold.
But likely neither are true.. PS2 shipped more than 0.. and Sony shipped more than 800k units in October of 2012.
Tell me why I deserve a condescending "got to love these guys" comment, and tell me where my Math is off?
And you guys REALLY think Sony would be being this obtuse and vague and not have announced they surpassed MS unless they were... under MS's numbers?
Not that it matters much in the long run.. but it's very likely something Sony would have announced. Which is also, again, perfectly logical, and not deserving of some condescending reply.
You are basing your Math on this essentially:
PS3 LTD as of March 31st: 63.9m
PS3+PS2 sales from April to December: 13.1m
Which means you believe Sony shipped less than 1 million PS2s to hit that 76 million PS3 shipped number.
Which would mean Sony sold around 7.5% PS2s.. not 15%. Where are you getting 15.6 million from in the first place?
