Good news for gamers, bad news for stockholders. That's pretty much how Sony's financial briefing went back on the 25th of October. Why bad for stockholders? Please. We need not even remind you of all the things adding up to stock "ouch" (battery failure, lawsuits galore, etc etc). What's less important and thus what we'll focus on is why there was good news for gamers! Apparently, hitting the quota of six million units by the end of the fiscal year (end of March, 2007), isn't going to be hard. Quoth the CFO: "We don't believe this is a difficult target." Haunting! Even more terrifying are the predictions of sales -- about 4.13 million by the end of the fiscal. But what of the two million due by the end of the calendar year? Perhaps that is not difficult either, but all we can do is cross our fingers and hope to find one (unless you pre-ordered... you lucky sons/daughters-of-a-gun).
