Sony forecast on Tuesday that it would ship 14 million PS2s in the fiscal year to March 2005, down from 20.1 million in the year ended March 2004. The company added that its sales of the PS2 could fall as much as 30 percent, a much sharper drop than analysts anticipated. Stewart Halpern of RBC Capital Markets notes that "Our forecast may be higher than some," but the 30 percent drop is greater "than most, if not all, expectations."
