Forums - Sony Discussion - Playstation 3 IS the Second Highest Selling Home Console of All Time outside NA, Europe and Japan, Only Beaten by PS2...

With the PSP and PSP vita performing so poorly recently I'm just shocked how the PSP is THAT high.

Misleading headline is misleading.

Oh my fucking god man, I am a die hard Sony fan boy and even ill say you are full of shit. The PS3 wont beat the Wii, itll get close but it wont beat it and who the fuck cares about the rest of the world when NA and Europe are the only regions that have a large customer base.


fuck fuck fuck

Is that all you can type? You clearly failed to notice this is a joke thread. Rest of the world is an important region, its 10-20 percent of the install base, so yes, its definetly, fucking, important.

Wow pretty amazing how Japan has fallen off this gen on home consoles.

Wii+PS3 almost exactly match PS2 sales. It hasn't fallen that much, especially considering that PS3 is still selling. To add to that, Xbox was even less relevant than 360, and GC was GC. The difference will end up being around 2m overall if I had to guess.

No, the drop from 6th to 7th gen was not much. The drop from last gen to this one was huge. No matter how you wanna spin it, a 20% drop is a huge drop. And the novelty of the Wii prevented that from being much worse. Has the PS3 even cracked 1 million in Japan for 2013?

Of course, compare this to the 27% or so in the US and the 24% or so in Europe INCREASE in home console sales this gen and yeah, pretty amazing.



Cool.

...In the "rest of the world". Which is of course most of the world, given North America, Europe and Japan only constitute about 15%  of all countries and 15% of the world's population.

Yeah right, but you forgot to mention that those 15% consume 85% of Electronic Products.

The title should be changed. This is obviously another " I hate Nintendo" or " i´m a Sony fanboy" thread.

Could be something interesting to discuss, but the intention of title destroys any possibility.


"I hate Nintendo"... For making a tongue in cheek thread about how the PS3 excels by relative standards in "rest of the world" region?

I think some of you need to lay off the internet for a bit.

You wanna give that one more shot? :P

Really though, the drop from from 5th gen to 6th gen was 10%, and the drop from 6th gen to 7th gen was 15%. Following this, we should expect a drop of 20% moving into the 8th gen.

7th gen: 24 million

6th gen: 28 million

5th gen: 31 million

4th gen: up to 27.5 million

3rd gen: At least 20 million

 

80% of 24 million is 19.2 million.
