wii_are_better_than_ said: before you guys go nuts... that article sources this site as their reason for why PS3 has passed 3 million. I'm not saying this site is wrong, but that news site is really unimportant because all it is saying is that PS3 has passed 3 million according to this site. I'm not sure why he even posted the news site actually....
some other sources would be nice.



Predicting the Future - 360 Will get to 11 Million in the USA this year!!

Predicting the Future - Wii will NOT win this gen in America!!


Prediciting the Future - The PS3 will pass the Wii by 2009!!

If you look at past numbers it shows European buy less consoles than the Japanese do. http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,1684952,00.html As of 2005 or the tailend of last gen only 1 in 10 German households had a console. http://www.france-game.org/video_game_market/050215_panorama_video_game_market.htm Like in france it's growing, but history has shown Europe minus the UK in general buys less consoles than the USA(Largest Market) and Japan(2nd Largest).
Ps2 Japan 23.99 North 44.86 ....Pal 42.40 PS1 Japan 21.59 North 40.78 ....Pal 40.12 japan is only 20% of the market.

do you really think its fair to compare Japan to over 30 plus countries that make up that region? I am basing my numbers off of single countries not whole regions. Unless you see Europe as a country.

Even if German households only have a console 1/10th of the time, thats still alot of consoles to sell. Also, the sales in Germany should increase as per capita income continues to increase in east german territories....Even though it's almost 20 years after the collapse, there still can be some strides made in that territory for capita. It really doesn't matter even if 1/10th of every European household had a gaming system...It's nearly twice the size of the US and 4 times the size of Japan. It's like saying "if 1 in 10 Chinese and Indian households owned a system it wouldn't be important since in the US/Japan it's 1 in 3" It's difficult to get numbers in each individual European country, as none are really large enough (sales wise) to allow for individual tracking services - the UK has one, and thats most of what it is. Nevertheless, I believe the major strides this cycle for console sales will be made in China, India and Europe, regardless of Blue Ocean. Blue Ocean still caters to the developed gaming world and not the developing world.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
