    Not bad for a quiet quarter, I guess. That’s world-wide, right?

    When do we get figures for the other two?

    Yeah, worldwide. Nintendo should be pretty soon, MS was a while ago.

    Were they? I remember them claiming their first yearly profit a little while back, but I don’t remember seeing any unit sales figures. Remind me, Statto. ;-)

    MS data:

    Jul-Sep 2006 0.9 Million
    Oct-Dec 2006 4.5 Million
    Jan-Mar 2007 0.5 Million
    Apr-Jun 2007 0.7 Million
    Total 6.6 Million

    Jul-Sep 2007 1.8 Million
    Oct-Dec 2007 4.3 Million
    Jan-Mar 2008 1.3 Million
    Apr-Jun 2008 1.3 Million
    Total 8.7 Million

    That should be pretty much right.

    I should really dig up the PS3 data to compare shouldn’t I?

    Well screw you, you can do it yourselves!

    If you look at the latest quarter, there’s really not that much in it, is there? Especially when you consider that that includes the MGS4 hardware bump.
