BBC tech writer Darren Waters discusses the disparity between Sony lowering their PlayStation 3 sales forecast, and their game division's first profit for two years.
"First, the good news: Sony's games division has made the first profit in two years. Here's the bad news: Sony is cutting its sales goal for PS3 to 9.5 million units for the year from 11 million. So is PS3 succeeding or not?"
and sony will use it as a PR boost saying "wow look how good we did, we beat are 9.5mil target"
atleast they didnt over do it like when MS said the 360 would sell 14 million in its first year
There is a problem with analysts there will be another who will say the opposite of what it says here.
9.5 million is very good as some here said it won't even make 7 million.
I just need a price drop and i`m buying a PS3 Sony ;)
From the article : "I don't believe titles like Haze or Metal Gear Solid 4 will shift that many more PS3s. But I do think Blu-ray's impact will begin to bite Microsoft."
Well, if MGS4 comes out before a price drop (don`t think it will, but...)i`ll buy it anyways, so the author is wrong in my case at least ;)
if they sell 9.5 mil, thats way better than 11 mil shipped
one price drop to rule them all..... as for me, if the price dropped i'd buy a PS3 in a heartbeat, hopfully the ceramic white one
