Forums - Sales Discussion - Slimebeast predicts: NPD and remaining PS3 & X360 sales 2009

I don't see the 360 coming in 3rd behind the PS3, LTD. The PS3 has a heck of a lot of ground to make up, and we're several years into this generation.

Also, I see a serious flaw in many of these kinds of predictions... they assume the competition (MS in this instance), will sit still and not counter with their own slim, etc. over time. These races are a moving target, and one turnaround by Sony or MS can't be extrapolated out to predict the final outcome.

But it is fun to read the predictions, so keep them coming.

360 is DOMED!!!

It's actually quite concave.

 

OT: I see the PS3 selling about a million more than 360 on top of what you have it at, closing the gap to ~5 million.

Back on topic:

Slimebeast... when do you think the gap will close.... 2012 sounds the closest right now....


2011 is not imposible, but 2012 maybe most likely. Hopefully the gap doesn't close long before the next gen starts...



^If Next gen starts Januray 2011, then ok....

Are you US based Slimebeast? Cause the excitement for PS3 slim here in NA has been minimal so far. Hell, they are already selling it at HMV next to my work and got plenty...most of the people are not biting yet.

I don't know about Europe as I don't live there, but NA won't go to PS3 this year.

You can quote ME on that.


I quote.

- NPD USA September will have the PS3 at 390,000 units. X360 around 300,000.

- The 5 week month of September will sell between 1.0-1.1 million PS3's worldwide and ~750,000 X360s

You can quote me on this.

wow, that was actually an alright prediction, but PS3 still sold more :P.



 

why dont you own a ps3 yourselve, if you think all this



nice job slimebeast

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Now that's a gutsy prediction and so far it's paying off in spades, you just might the the uncrowned king of this place.

Wait, one isn't allowed to make a positive sales prediction for a console one doesn't own, how come?

 

But more interesting, why is it so important to you? It's just that the content of your post come of as being a bit.. whiny, but then again you're a self proclaimed PS3 owner. oO

 Can't blame him for not predicting Uncharted 2 though.
