Dude dont even type that. Sony will probally be going on 15 million. Maybe even more. Not just because im a Sony fan but...

1. Christmas this year and all the big games.

2. MGS4 early next year (Worldwide)

3. Killzone early next year

4. FFXIII early next year (Japan maybe US late next year)

5. Many other big titles coming next.

Your post holds no evidence that Nintendo will be going on 30 million by then. Your pretty much basing it off of that it stays sold out til then. Which isnt very likely.

I agree the PS3 may be higher than 10mil by then as well, but in all fairness none of the PS3's big name titles so far have done much for its sales and none of these big name franchise exclusives have sold enough games with their last instalments to give the PS3 what it really needs with their far more expensive sequels. There's not a single person I haven't talked to at a single gamestore (clerk or customer) that isn't convince MGS4 is comming to the 360 as well (whether true or not) and if FFXII only sold 5 million on a console with an console instal base of 100 million plus, I don't see FFXIII turning the PS3 around. Gran Turismo is pretty much in the same boat as FFXIII.

Also, 30 million might be a bit high, but its not without evidence especially with developers flocking to Nintendo in droves and more games to keep the causal "non-gamer" market snatching them up.


If you're going to compare then do it right. GT5 MUST be compared to GT3, not 4, same goes for FF. The first release of a series on next gen hardware is a more accurate comparison. Also there HAS NOT been ANY "big" software titles out yet, Motorstorm maybe(it's close to 1 million I think), but not really, it's not in the same boat as MGS4, Ratchet & Clank, GTAIV, GT5, FFXIII, which are all proven series that people are waiting for.

 

On topic, he is somewhat right if you think of price point. The PS3 "should" be at $399 or less by xmas 08(hopefully $299) and this will have a huge impact on sales, with many AAA titles already available and more on the way. Though in hindsight I wouldn't have recommended he opened his mouth about this. Who the hell is this guy anyways?

 

This is why I never listen to these jackasses!
