A few caveats:
- I assume the PS3 allocation ratio for 2006 would remain the same as the launch ratio which may not be true.
- It’s suspect if Sony will meet their estimates for end of 2006 given that they’ve just dropped their launch estimates so much. It’s possible but it’s not a sure thing.
- I couldn’t find reliable third party estimates for 360 launch sales in Europe. I quoted Microsoft’s own numbers which isn’t the most impartial measure.
This is really disappointing news. And did they have to blame it on Blu-Ray again? There was already enough anger and resentment towards Blu-Ray.
