so i would rather say 0.5m ps2s at the most
It's on the stores. This time I assume they're talking about Killzone Mercenary, Tearaway, Soul Sacrifice, etc.
What's the basis for this?I didn't say PS2 should be at 1m this Q, I said for the previous 6 months.
I'm honestly not impressed with those numbers. The fact that they made a Net Loss of 124 mil this Q while Nintendo made a net profit of 100 something mil and Panny made a net profit of 600 something mil, that's pretty bad.
The only reason they will reach the 20B net profit is due to the sale of the NY building.
The discontinuation of the PS2 might have actually generated a positive spike in sales, for the collector types.
still they sold most consoles globally last year
and as for lower or not we dont know ps2 numbers and ps2 has been discontinued from Jan 2013
What's the basis for this?
And they sold a lower PS3's, that we can actually confirm. You have no evidence they sold/shipped less PS2's.
If PS3 was selling that well they would've unbundled it from PS2, theres no need to hide the PS2 so it's purely the PS3 numbers they are hiding.
(*) Latest PS2 Sales Figures (Ap'11 - Mr'12) : 1.4 -> 1.2 -> 0.9 -> 0.6
ps2 sold 0.6 last quarter
No Sony being down YOY everywhere is why they shipped less consoles last Q.
I didn't say PS2 should be at 1m this Q, I said for the previous 6 months. PS2 was actually discontinued in January, who knows what anomalies that brings with it.
Your figures suggest shipments are more or less flat YOY, despite being down every Q. Are you gonna pedal your 'shipments don't have to correlate 1:1' with that as well?
This is a sales forecast. Those games are not "attractive" in the sense of moving large quantities of hardware, which is and always has been Vita's fundamental problem.
At this point they might aswell take a dump on the other two guys and include PS1 sales in a LTD.
No I'm asking what the basis of the PS2 number is?The fact that Sony was down all year and thus wouldn't have their best year for shipments.
Are you guys even trying!?About 330 million consoles then.

The Xbox division made more money than Sony. Not Sony Computer Entertainment. Sony.
PS2 was discontinued since the sales depleted to nothing
You dont have to feel bad that PS3 did best last quarter so theres no way they shipped 1m ps2s last quarter let alone something close to that , so 0.3-0.5 is a good estimate

With Vita sales as of now nope, but yes with the other things. Specially with PS4 not fucking up their entire bussines.Is Kaz happy with those PS Vita sales, too?
The Xbox division still needs to recover some billions, unlike Sony's division (and would love to have an updated version of the chart btw) :The Xbox division made more money than Sony. Not Sony Computer Entertainment. Sony.
Thank you Dynopia for your unending battle against misinformation and setting people straight when it comes to sales of the PS3.
On topic, Sony needs to cut the price of the Vita now. Also, I expect them to go full force in throwing everything and the kitchen sink behind the PS4.

As there doesn't seem to really be any real way to determine PS2's contribution.
PS2 still occupied a sliver of marketshare in 2011 in both the US and EU. In 2012 it essentially disappeared, in one NPD I recall it selling something like 1K. So I'm curious how Sony managed to offload a million of them over 6 months.
This has happened a lot. Some mom and pop corner stores have made more money than Sony some quarters
not happening imo. the first price drop will be down to $50 when it gets discontinued after PS4 launches.

We don't know if PS3 outshipped 360, (can well believe it did) and no I have no issue with that
How does the Net Loss figure compare to that of last quarter?
No free online for the PS4 confirmed!
Stop the damage control, it includes at least 1m PS2's, it didn't drop that much and pretty much all info on sales we have says no to the 77m.
Wonder what their quarter would have looked like without those one-off asset sales.
To put it into perspective, Sony lost 20X that amount last year.
They've come a long way, and still have a long way to go. But it's looking better.
Looks like Kaz is doing his job. Every segment except gaming improved profits while gaming can can be atributed to bad software linep (sackboy karting and all stars) and PS4 R&D.

Sony failing at selling the Vita to a 70 millions fanbase remains a mistery.
A price cut would have done it, yet it still seems unlikely to be in the plans.
