Its also funny how you say the PS3 failed but it will sell more then the xbox and the GC sold combined. |
Just wondering how you can say that with such authority. So far it has undersold the Gamecube(though just barely under) LTD WW for the same period of time and it is also tracking under the XBOX LTD total for the same period of time. It is also tracking way under the N64 LTD for the same period of time WW. What this leaves you with is 10 months after launch is tracking under game systems that have sold 21 million, 24 million, and 39 million LTD when all is said and done. I suppose a come back is possible but momentum is a powerful thing and even the 360 stalled this year allowing the Wii to pass it with its own momentum even though the 360 was the market leader. I know the PS3 will get some small bumps coming down the road(holidays, Price cuts, FF 13, MGS4 being the main ones) and the holidays is a bump that benefits all systems. Personaly my worst case sceneraio(reasonable) for the PS3 is 21 million and my high end for the PS3 is 35 million. I just don't think it is going to be able to get over 40 million under any normal circimstances.
As for wether the PS3 is a failure. Some people here seem ot think 39K in one week is a failure in Japan . Ask yourself this question if the Wii had the same sales as the PS3 woudl you say it was a failure....Many called it that when the GC had similiar sales 10 months in.
