Yay, we're finally second is not press release material. 80M is a milestone mark. Your reasoning is silly.Because surpass 360 is more big news than 80 million.

Pokemon and MH are not releasing this christmas for the wiiu. PS4 like the wiiu is a home console, a separate market than the portable gaming market.
We basically know 5-6 of their exclusive titles for the first year of PS4 and we don't know what JP games they will have for year 1 and launch yet. Too early to jump to conclusions about a JP launch line up
No it isn't.
dat RX100
They still have new tech manufacturing, Sony are the only company in the world that makes and sells large OLED screen/monitors in significant quantities for example, and those are all made in house. They also have a 30" 4K OLED coming out in a few months for professionals which will be another industry first.
As for CLED, R&D is still on going, but as a technology it is just too expensive to bring to market, especially without the unlimited development budgets that Sony used to have. Really, it's up to the Japanese government to introduce tax credits and such for this kind of stuff before Sony (and other Japanese companies) invest money in to new and untested tech again like they used to.
Of course it is.
No they aren't. Do you know how the psp actually performed in the west? It will be lucky to sell half of what the psp sold in the west worldwide

Whether you (or Sony) considers it a significantly different 'market' or not, people have limited money to spend on 'games' as a whole and handhelds have sold better in Japan for years, so those games coming out for the holidays will have an effect.
As I already stated, I'm talking about how the situation stands now, because pretending that they have dozens of big Japanese announcements for launch/next year just waiting to be announced around the corner did not turn out so well for either Vita or Wii U. They may well have them, but I cannot make predictions and assumptions based on things not known to exist.
I wish they were more forthcoming regarding their first party software sales. Why is it only Nintendo out of three manufacturers gives out LTD sales data for their software?
I would bet your limited edition Karibo's Shoe Custom AND1 sneakers that when the dust clears Vita will be a Super Smashing Success. It will sell a ton more software PSP was truly Pirate Station Portable.

PS4 R&D
To lose money on something, you actually have to invest in it. You can see how much they are investing on VITA, lolVita

Good lord....
Back to reality, do people still believe the other last gen consoles have a shot at 100 million?
I disagree. Microsoft even said that would sold more consoles this generation than Sony.
Surpass X360 number is material for press release. It's overcome the direct competitor.
Sony milestones was not related with the quarters... the last one was posted in November 4th.Although, realistically neither will probably reach 80M in Q2, while both will reach 80M in Q3.
So they'll each need to put out specific milestone press releases for any determination.

Hardware sold below DS, software didn't sell at all. PSP piracy was rampant in the west.
Direct competitor would mean something if it were earlier in the generation and a battle for 1st place. Neither of those are the case. Just like everyone else has said, surpassing 360 this late in the generation is not press release material.

Their gaming division posted an operating loss of 149 million dollars, which is hardly a call for celebration. Try reading the thread before you gush over your favorite company.
r&d creating a loss is a pretty common thing. i don't think it's much to be concerned over.Their gaming division posted an operating loss of 149 million dollars, which is hardly a call for celebration. Try reading the thread before you gush over your favorite company.
So whats the easy fix? Is Vita going to stop selling less than 20k a month in the US
Sony's smartphone division is doing really well. It must be Europe because i never see anyone in the states with a sony smartphone
Wrong, there is a reason psp continues to get support for games like FIFA to this day. PSP software certainly collapsed but it was healthier in its worst years than vita ever will be

It's been well over a year that I have seen a single PSP Game let alone hardware in a US store.
Of course it is.
End of the console generation + R&D costs of the PS4, etc.Their gaming division posted an operating loss of 149 million dollars, which is hardly a call for celebration. Try reading the thread before you gush over your favorite company.
I really disagree.
But I'm not saying release a statement celebrating the fact that surpass X360. Only put the number out, and let people know.
Here you go SCEI, drafted it for you.PLAYSTATION®3 SALES REACH MORE THAN 78.21 MILLION UNITS WORLDWIDE
Sales of PlayStation®3 Surpass Xbox 360; Still Considerably Less Than Nintendo Wii Or PlayStation®2.
Tokyo, August 1, 2013– Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) today announced that the cumulative sales of the PlayStation®3 (PS3®) computer entertainment system reached an undisclosed number greater than the irrelevant milestone of more than the Xbox 360 – more than than six years after the platform launched in 2006. Na na nana naaa. Suck it, Microsoft.
PR's rule of thumb : Don't quote competitors when hitting milestones.
It dilutes your achievement, puts in context how others are doing, and lastly... you give free 'mentions' to the competitor.
