Only way it will make it is with a price cut or if they bundle every unit with GT5 and another game.  

 

Probably do 12-13mil is my guess.


lol so it's OVER 50% YOY and you think it will either

a. do as well as last year

b. do worse

ok dream on.....


Why should I dream on?  There was a price drop and a slim version introduced.   Do you seriously think it will be over 50% YOY at the end of this year?  LOL thats what you should dream on about.

there will be another price drop on september 15th in Euro, where about 2 out of every 5 ps3s are sold.

No there's not. Entry price will be same as before (299€).

really? They just lowered the price of the higher priced console and then introduced a new higher priced console?

even if it doesn't go  50% YOY and just a little increase with GT5 and other games and then a little in Q1 2010

they did 13m last year and they have already done 1m growth in the same in the same time this year compared to last year

so if just sell just as last years then they will reach 13m as last year and 1m that has already been done,so 14m .now they just need to get a bit more to get to 15m which could easily be done.

also if not looking at the VGC and SONY's shipment figure,they they are up 118% YOY and if they just go the same as last year for the rest of this year then they will do 14.3m PS3's.

There might be temporarily price cut for 120gb/250gb models to clear the stock but even that would be just temporarily. Last year when Slim launched old phats were sold at the same price as Slim so new models don't always mean price cut... At the moment official price for PS3 in Europe is 299€ and Sony hasn't revealed plans to cut it.

Problem is that PS3 will not sell same amount HW during holidays as it did last year without new price cut. You just have to wait couple of weeks and PS3 will be down something like 400k yoy in one week (Slim launch week). After that it will be down probably almost every week yoy for rest of the year.

If you look at my post no where did I say that it couldn't reach 15 million.  I just stated I didn't think it would then someone tried to make me look "foolish" with spin doctor numbers, which I turned around on them.  More power to the PS3 if it can reach 15 million.  Believe it or not I am all for it and it would be good for gaming overall if it did.  I just hate little bitches that are always trying to step on someones throat around here if you don't have the same belief  they do.

yeah that could be the case but GT5 will really help it stay atleast the same and then in Q1 when PS3 had shortage and hence low sales,there could be higher sales compared to this year.

yeah it will be low 400k but not so much after that as PS3



ninty_shareholder64 on 18 August 2010

I think so, too!

PS3 will NOT reach 15 m.

I'm with KillerMan

There are several terms used for this, Cherry Picking, Spin Doctoring etc....

The poster knew exactly this fact before he/she posted it.

I'm not confident for them.

I don't think Move will have the sales Sony expect it to...

Although Gran Turismo 5 could do absolute wonders.

 

Will be close!

I KNOW YOU didn't say it but by your prediction they will just do 12-13m so i'm just debating

and don't abuse or say neg things,you will get banned for it

i know there are many people like that but don't use those words,they are very strict here
