Sony Shipped 1 Million PS3s, but Did They Sell?
in Business
Ever since I took a Statistics course a few years ago I have been wary of announcements and fuzzy math. CNET reports that Sony held a press conference at CES where they announced that they “had shipped 1 million PlayStation 3 units into the North American retail channel by the end of December.” That does not mean they sold 1 million PS3s. They could have shipped a few hundred thousand PS3s to warehouses and that would still be considered in the retail channel. Also, there have been many reports of people returning PlayStation 3 units because they couldn’t sell them on eBay. Stores recently had plenty of units in-stock. So that may not bode well for the future of the PS3.
