| JGarret said: The N64 sold about 33 million units... the PS3 only needs 12 million more to pass it, which is perfectly feasible (and likely) before this generation ends, unless you believe it´ll remain at $400 all the way to the end. And, of course, that´s not impressive at all, considering the history of the PS brand, but just saying you can count on it surpassing the N64 before the end of 2011 (assuming that´s when next gen arrives, though I doubt it..which makes it passing the N64 even easier). |
Well, I was about 3 million off in my prediction.
Personally, I don't see the PS3 passing that. The sales of the system are starting to slow and it will probably have trouble making it to 30 million. The consumers aren't excited by the PS3 anymore. Key titles wont move the system because the ones who will demand those games are current owns (save for maybe FF13 in Japan). I don't see it keeping up. Sony will have to release a new system soon.
