| Kantor said: This is just ridiculous. People actually believe it isn't going to reach 40 million. Okay, let me explain this in simple terms: 2009: 7 million to make 26.5 million 2010: 6 million to make 32.5 million 2011: 5 million to make 37.5 million 2012: 4 million to make 41.5 million. Assuming that for some reason, PS3 sales start steadily dropping (which is completely groundless, why would sales DROP after a price cut?) and it sells until 2012, it will still sell 40 million. This level of "PS3 IS TEH DOOMEDZ" is just plain ridiculous. Now tell me, why is the 360 outselling the PS3? Is it because of games? A little. Live? A little. Price? A LOT. The PS3 is a $400 console in a recession. It will not always be a $400 in a recession. The recession will not last forever, the $400 price tag will not last forever. God, it's like early 2007 all over again! 40 million: Definitely 50 million: Definitely 60 million: Probably 70 million: Possibly 80 million: Unlikely 90 million: Very Unlikely 100 million: Impossible (Sorry, CrazzyMan) |
Might not be over 100 million until 2016 and a couple of years after the PS4 releases, but there is every chance that it will be ahead of the Wii when Wii Advance comes out because the Wii is going to have a much harder time selling its second 50 million units than it has its first 50 million units.
Heavens to Murgatoids.
