Sony Ericsson Ships 9 Million Android Handsets, Q4 Results Below Expectations

Sony Ericsson’s Q4 result are in and, as often seems to be the case of late, it’s something of a mixed bag.

On the down side the company failed to beat market expectations as it only managed to turn a pre-tax profit of 35 million euros. If the market wasn’t excited about Sony Ericsson’s performance the company still managed to put a brave face on things pointing out, rather astutely it has to be said, that even with the figure lower than hoped for it did still represent the fourth consecutive quarter that the company had managed to actually have a profit.

There was some better news on the Android front though with the revelation that since the first Xperia Android handset (the X10) was launched Sony Ericsson have managed to shift a rather impressive 9 million units of all their Android powered Xperia line e.g. X10, X10 Mini, etc. Do remember that these were handsets saddled with outdated software so getting 9 million of them into customers’ hand sis pretty impressive …

…only this 9 million figure is the total shipped to retailers, not customers. Even so it is still good going and with the Xperia arc and Vivaz 2 looking like strong players for 2011 it can, hopefully, only get better.

The Xperia Play aka the PlayStation Phone has undoubtedly been the most leaked handset of the last year, indeed perhaps of any year. I was recently discussing the situation and an interesting question arose: do these leaks make you more or less interested in the handset?

Whilst we all love to see leaks and know what is coming up, does the sheer scope of the Xperia Play leak mean that when it is released there will actually be less interest in the handset? Looked at from a certain angle one could say that given all that has already leaked about it there isn’t much Sony Ericsson can do to make the announcement exciting. How long can interest be maintained in a handset that we already know so much about?

On the other hand there are those who say that these leaks have really whetted their appetite for the handset. There is also the point to consider that the frequent leaks have given the handset tremendous exposure in the press, perhaps far more than it might otherwise have received. Indeed given the build up it seems pretty certain that most eyes at MWC will be firmly trained on the Sony Ericsson booth to see the handset in the flesh.
