Again, blind fanboy logic.  Just because we don't see PS3 hitting 150 million doesn't mean we hate Sony.  I fully intend to buy a PS3 later this year.  Yet I can fully acknowledge and accept that the PS3 will not outsell the PS2 LTD.

To me it's pretty clear at this point that the PS3 would be lucky to hit 100 million because I'm capable of sorting out my desires/preferences from those of the masses.  The problem is you aren't and therefore expect everybody to see it as you do.

Wow you're delirious. I'm explaining why PS3 will not sell over 100 million, how on earth is that hating on it? Jeez, get real.

Anyway, Wii userbase advantage actually has NO advantage for Core games, Tales of vesperia with MUCH bigger userbase bombed with lower numbers then GC iteration.
SMG - also only did 100k more in Japan, then SMS on GC, with 2,5 mln. userbase advantage.

It's Tales of Symphonia, and yes it sold less, yes it's a spin-off and yes it will be the first million selling RPG of this gen. BTW another spin off (Dragon Quest Swords) sold more than any PS3 game minus one. Galaxy handily outsold MGS4, so sold more than any PS3 game. I don't know what you want to say, it's probably something with Marioboys.

Wii is hyped only in Fanboys mind. E3 nintendo show was a LETDOWN.

PS3 is having Exclusive PS3 games that coming till the end of spring 2009(atleast that are announced to come):
Most of these games will easy cross 3 mln. barrier, other have very high chances. Overall, these games WILL boost PS3 sales by A LOT.

Ehm maybe 5 on that list will sell 3 million, but definitely not more. And as much as I love LBP it's not going to sell 3 million, not 2 either. I hope a million.

ANyway, all doubters and haters will be owned later this year.)
Just like PS3 started outselling x360 since december 2007 or like selling 9 mln. by the end of 2007, when haters predicted 6-7 mln. =))

Again: WHAT will we see later this year. You still haven't made any prediction. I gave mine, in Sony projection numbers at march 31st. So you can too. I say 12 million in FY 2008. Come on Crazzy, you can do it.

And about predictions, i need to see shipped data for PS3.)

The differences in the list you posted are clearly shipped vs sold. It's that or there are no consoles in stores.

And MGS4 is still on track to 7 mln. sold by the end of the year. ;)

lol, it's at what? 3 million? How is it on track to sell 7 million end of year. It may be happy if it reaches 4 million.

Using E3 as a measure of success is totally ridiculous. And all 3 conferences were a letdown, Nintendo just more than the others. Wii is hyped around the world. Open your eyes for a change. It's SOLD OUT TWO YEARS AFTER LAUNCH! It's on all the mainstream media.

Wow, crazzyman just keeps regurgitating the same rhetoric AS ALWAYS. I have never encountered anyone so blind to reality, living in their own Sony fantasy world.... I own a PS3 too, and crazzyman just boggles my mind with some of the stuff he says.  It is absolutely bat s**t insane!



Currently Playing:

PS4 - Killzone:SF and Assasins Creed 4

 

XBox One: BF4, CoD:Ghosts, Dead Rising 3, Forza 5

 

Changing channels with my voice: priceless!!!

I don't even see the PS3 hitting 50mil :/

I'm sorry, it's just me. The 360 will continue to get stronger and take much of the core gamers with them, they partly already have...

I'm probably going to get warned for this, but you are totally freaking insane.  MGS4 is currently at 2,577,415 units sold.  It sold 95k last week but I'll be generous and say 100k for the remaining weeks of the year (which won't happen).  There's 5 months left in the year, so approx 22 weeks.  That's 2.2 million (again, not going to happen).  If you give it a generous 25% boost for December, that would be roughly 2.3 million, which puts it at 4.8M by the end of the year.  And that's being generous.

Please, put down the pipe and join the rest of us in Realityville.

If PS3 is selling this well at $399, just think what will happen when the price is dropped to $299.

When the PS3 reach $299 the Wii will cost $149 and Xbox360 $199

If you are a casual gamer what console are you buying?
