Forums - Sales Discussion - Prediction: PS3 and 3DS will never get below 100k HW for the rest of the year

 

Will they ever get below 100k?

No, they're the most popular things now 99 64.71%
 
Yes 53 34.64%
 
Total:152

Every other console went below 100k already. I'm here to claim PS3 and 3DS will stay strong and never get <100k

 

who's with me?

Ye I'm with you on that.



PS3 will prob dip just below it. Look how awful numbers are now and we havent even hit the slowest weeks of the year yet. Next gen is needed badly the consoles are rapidly dying



I don't know. What is coming out in July and August?

Dont know man, PS3 is still pretty popular worldwide, I'd say there is still a year or 2 left of decent sales in Western markets before it gets pushed into developing economies.

Depends on how Kingdom Hearts and Heroes of Ruin do this summer. But you're probably right. NSMB2 will most definitely give 3DS an unseasonably high sales spike in August until the holiday sales kick in in October.

3DS -- Kingdom Hearts, Rhythm Thief, Heroes of Ruin, FF Theatrhythm, New Super Mario Bros 2

PS3 -- NCAA Football, Risen 2, Darksiders 2, Persona 4 Arena, couple REs



The PS3 will likely hit a low of 90-100k, so it will be a bit touch-and-go on that one.

But I expect the 3DS to stay strong, and not dip below 115-120k, as when we hit the 'slow' months (August, September), we have NSMB2.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Don't see anything to halt the dropping of sales in the foreseeable future so I reckon PS3 might dip below it with 3DS staying just above.

It should still be a pretty busy summer for the 3DS, and this is not counting any possibly great E-shop games and demos. I would pay for the demo of Heroes of Ruin right now!

*Removes Rhythm Theif for Heroes of Ruin*

...

What? Both are truly awesome games! 

And yeah. Should be a great year for the 3DS, with those coming out in the next few months, then stuff like Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing etc. in the holidays!
