And few places are feeling it as bad as Sony, who have tonight announced a drop in games unit revenue, hardware sales and software sales. As you can see in the graph above, PS2 sales are down 52% from this time last year. Things aren’t looking much rosier on the software front, with PS2 sales down 51% and PSP game sales down 15%.
