Obivously, the PS3 would have to sell worst in 2009 then it did in 2008 (which it shouldn't) it should sell more in 2009.

I'll copy and paste what I wrote in a different thread.

The PS3 sold 11 million in 08 and is obviously going to sell better in 2009, but even if it sold the exact same and sold another 11 million durring 2009 then the total would be 30 million, it shouldn't sell less then that, what with the price cut and huge exclusives for 2009.

 

Ignore what I said?

2008...
"Do you think PS3 will hit 25 million this year? It totally should, I mean, a price cut, GTA4, MGS4, LBP, Home, Bioshock, Haze, GT5:Prologue, Resistance 2 etc. coming out, I can totally see this happening."

Huge amount of games for 2008, price cut. Sold 11 million. Now, a smaller amount of games. One of the biggest titles won't push consoles, because it comes out on the cheaper 360 too. Bad publicity, plus, terrible holiday as someone pointed out. Face it. PS3 isn't doing so hot.

So you seriously think that 2008 is the PS3's peaked year??

It will sell better in 2009, the PS3 was doing great in 2008 until the X360 had a big price cut around the holidays and took away a lot of PS3 sales. And the PS3 has bigger and better exclusives in 2009 then it had in 2008, did you by any chance take a look at "The Official Playstation 3 Exclusives list" for 2009 there some really big games in there and it's only January there still more to be annouced.

Also Japan is going to explode this year with the PS3, what with the new SKU FFVII Advent Children going to Japan, Yakuza 3, and Final Fantasy XIII it's going to be selling like hot cakes.

Yeh and the last price cut helped but it was still $400 and $500, still a lot, once they have another price cut this year it'll look a little more affordable, hopefully Sony will be able to afford a $100 price cut but it's doughtful probably $50.
