Forums - Sony Discussion - Will PS3 top 100 million?

CrazzyMan said:
@Avinash_Tyagi,
But then we are back to the money, so those games aren't really important to them, price is more important than those games, so then they don't care if Wii dosn't have those games as long as it has other good games at a low price
You DON`T get it. Price AND games BOTH are important.
When BOTH options are at needed level, consumer buy a system.

@kirby007, what nintendo fanboy doing in this thread?

@dp666, 399$ price will be forever? ps3 won`t have games to compete with wii forever? OK.. Just because you said so. =) I remeber PSone and PS2 doing same. =]

 So you're banking on that PS3 will be popular once certain things happen, like last year, where people kept saying that PS3 domination would start eventually



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

"10-20 GREAT BRAND games sell. "

GC had -

Resident Evil
Rouge Squadron
Mario
Mario Kart
Super Smash Bros
Metroid Prime
Zelda

That is seven series of the highest quality.

PS3 has so far got lined up

Gran Turismo
Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy
God of War

The only games currently set for the PS3 that are of the quality of the above listed games. Also you can't count things like Uncharted or Resistance otherwise the Gamecube gets series like Pikmin and Eternal Darkness.
Oh and Killzone is not a great series as of yet, its first game was mediocre and its second game merely good.



kirby007,

I saw u were banned the other day. How come?



@Gnizmo,
[quote]Really? So We have Smash Brothers Brawl, Mario Party 9, Mario Kart, Zelda Wii, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Tales of Symphonia: Knights of the something, Wii Fit, Wii Music, Okami, Monster Hunter 3 and Baroque in addition to other unnannounced games and all of that is 2 games. Gotcha.[/qupte]
Oh, with NOT Big BRAND games, PS3 will have over 40-50 GREAT games.


You are right on at least one point here. Some of those games are not big brand. Allow me to remove them, and repost the list. So We have Smash Brothers Brawl, Mario Party 9, Mario Kart, Zelda Wii, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Tales of Symphonia: Knights of the something, Wii Fit, Wii Music, and Monster Hunter 3 in addition to other unnannounced games and all of that is 2 games. Gotcha.

Which??? Most of x360 games come to PC. Others are inferior to PS3 games. About most wii games care Nintendo fanboys only, ot around 25 mln. prvious GC users, while behind PS3 are 120 mln. PS2 users


Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Halo 3, and more that I am forgetting. You are dodging the point though. Why would a great Wii or Xbox exclusive make less impact that a PS3 exclusive given the games were equally well made and popular?

As an addendum I would like to ask for you to back up one of your statements with some facts. Which games on both the 360 and PS3 are better on the PS3? So far as I have heard every single one released has technical problems on the PS3 but not the 360 making the 360 one the superior game.

It`s your OPINION, this doesn`t convince me. Only FACTS work on me.


Well it is a fact that it costs Sony $400 to make a PS3 by their own admission. It is a fact that they sell it to retailers for less than that. It is a fact that PS3s are sold at a loss.

like last year, where people kept saying that PS3 domination would start eventually

@Avinash_Tyagi, actually, ALL media was saying that PS3 is DOOMED.

So you're banking on that PS3 will be popular once certain things happen,
Some people will buy PS3 when GT5/FFXIII/MGS4/KZ2 will be released. Some will buy, when ps3 get 299$ or 249$ price.
Unless you have FACTS, that people won`t buy when all these options become true, there is nothing bad in stating that ps3 will reach 100 mln.

While stating that ps3 won`t reach 100 mln. based on what? On FIRST year sales? or x360 sales? WHY not on PSone and PS2 sales? WHY you ignore PSone and PS2 sales/games-sequels?
You don`t want PS3 to SUCCEED, right?

@Rath, Mario, Mario, Mario, Zelda. =)
25 mln. GC and 120 mln. PS2. End of story.

@Gnizmo, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles 1.36m
Tales of Symphonia  1.08m
You count 1-1,5 mln. sellers as BIG games?
Well, PS2 had over 200 million sellers. =)

Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Halo 3, and more that I am forgetting. You are dodging the point though. Why would a great Wii or Xbox exclusive make less impact that a PS3 exclusive given the games were equally well made and popular?
Those games coming to PC. PS3 games appeal to BIGGER user base. Playstation Consoles always had BIGGER variety in genres.
As an addendum I would like to ask for you to back up one of your statements with some facts. Which games on both the 360 and PS3 are better on the PS3? So far as I have heard every single one released has technical problems on the PS3 but not the 360 making the 360 one the superior game.
We speak about 2008-2012 sales. Can you name these games?
Well it is a fact that it costs Sony $400 to make a PS3 by their own admission. It is a fact that they sell it to retailers for less than that. It is a fact that PS3s are sold at a loss.
By HOW much LESS? provide me FACTS. Ps3 TODAY still cost 400$ to produce? How do you know? You work for Sony or What? Just your opinion? Ok.



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

ha no.. I say 50 million max.



You know CrazzyMan, i would say your nickname fits you perfectly. I'd also like to correct one thing you said about you: only FACTS don't work on you.
You are trying to say that Mario Party, Mario Kart, Wii Fit, Final Fantasy, Zelda, Monster Hunter and Smash Bros. are all something else than big franchises, and then you give us list of games where most of them are games that no one have ever heard of.

Maybe i try to level with you, but let's try it your way, if you would understand this better:
FF13, MGS4 and GT5 don't help PS3 a bit, since all their fans have moved to Wii Fit. I got proof.
Wii Sports have outsold anything on PS2, as you can see, the transition from PS2 to Wii have already happenend.
Only the price holds Wii back, with Wii costing 50, all who have bought 360 and PS3 will dump them and get Wiis because IT'S THE EXPERIENCE FOR THE MONEY! From 50 to 299 it's a lot more than 250 to 400.
SMG have sold 5 million, so the GTA audience have already moved to Wii.

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

bdbdbd had earlier in the thread the best arguments against PS3 selling anywhere near those amounts. (and against the argument that WW market will expand to new territories like China/russia/india in a significant way)



Crazzyman, I feel you are biting off more than you can chew. You are trying to argue four arguements at once, are getting flustered and are striking out wildly. Your first arguement is, although possible, isn't likely. The PS3 just doesn't have enough momentum to sell 100 mil :( On you list of "exclusives" you asked how many would also be on the Wii, but you fail to realize that most of them would also be on the 360 as well. Remember this is a 3 console + comp war.



Why hate systems that bring you great games?
