Right now all of Sony's development money is in PS3 games, not PS2 games. We all know that where company's really make money is in the software. So if they are out developing PS3 games at a high cost and there aren't very many PS3 owners then all is not going according to plan. They need to transition the consumer over into the newer generation where all the innovation is rather than boosting the sales of the PS2 where any joe schmoe can buy a used Metal Gear Solid 3 for 9.95 at their local store. They don't make money on old used ps2 games but do make loads of money on new $60 PS3 games. That is why their lackluster ps3 sales is disturbing. Anyway you look at it, they won't be abandoning the PS3 so they should be good for at least 6-8 more years (projected lifespan of ps3) When you've only sold 4.48 million and expect it to jump 100% in three quarters there is some *wishful* thinking going on. We will see where the economy is this holiday season and see how much they can get out of consumers.
Edit: And by the way shipped is wayy different than actually purchased....you need to get those ps3s out the door in order for people to buy the games.
