Dan, I wonder if this has anything to do with RDAM? More production problems?

RE: <''The production of new chips is a challenge for Sony, which is inexperienced in graphic chips,'' said Takashi Mimura, analyst at Societe Generale. ''In either case, I'd say Sony's target of selling two million new PlayStations by the end of next March is ambitious. Sales won't reach even half of that.''>

I'd say 2 MU by end of 2000 would be lucky.

RE: <Sony expects its profits to decline in the current business year partly due to a slowdown in sales of the original PlayStation console, which generates nearly 40 percent of Sony's consolidated operating profits.>

Sony has "Osbourned" its PSI by making so much noise about PSII so early. They made big time noise at Embedded Processor Forum in early May and have chosen to use every opportunity to hype PSII. So naturally PSI sales fall off as everyone waits for PSII whose delivery keeps pushing out (and the push out has just begun).
