| Elite1 said: Why are so many people under the impression that the PS3 will stop selling in 3 years? Look at the damn PS1 and PS2. If these are anything to base the PS3 sales time frame on, and they are, the PS3 will sell well into the PS4's lifetime meaning not necessarily that it will reach 100 million but that it can sell easily for the next 5 years. By that time the price will have dropped significantly and it would not be absurd to think that then it could approach that magic number. *first |
*That's the problem, you can't base the PS3's life on the PS1 and PS2's. The PS1 and PS2 were extremely succesful consoles, they sold really well and kept selling well, so retailers rightfully decided to give those consoles lots of shelfspace.
The PS3 isn't succesful at all. It's a 3rd place console, no retailer is going to give it significant shelfspace when the next Xbox and Wii are out. There's not enough money to be made on the PS3 at that point.
