Why the PS3 will not last long, let alone 10 years.

By Summer 2010, the PS3 will have sold 5 to 7 million copies in Japan while the 360 won't break 1.5 million there.

So you're saying over the span of less then a year... a console will sell 2 to 4 million units in one region and sell a copy of each one of the console owners... and the console has sold just over 3 million units over the 2 and a half years it's been out? .... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Excuse me, but could you tell me when during those two and a half years the PS3 saw the release of one Gran Turismo game and two Final Fantasy games, didn't think so.

<_< the GT games were bundled with a system that was in it's prime and market leader, it won't be quite as epic as it was for the PS2. 

Here's a bit of information...

Dragon Quest VIII - Japan 3.68

Final Fantasy XII - Japan 2.42

Final Fantasy X - Japan 3.02

How can a series that barely sold 3 million on Japans biggest console install base ever sell 7 million units on one of the smallest?  It's statistically impossible, and further more Dragon Quest's main series is more popular in Japan and it's going to the Wii, so where's your astronomical statistically impossible sales prediction for that game?

 

     I didn't say either Versus or XIII was going to have 7 million sales in Japan.  But, I do think both XIII and Versus will have sales very close to, between, or more than X and VII (VII had 3.97 million sales on a console with a smaller user base than the PS2).  Games move consoles and just as it moved PS1 and PS2 FF will move PS3s.

Right there <_<

 

     No I said total sales of the PS3 in Japan between November 2006 and Summer 2010 following the release of GT5, FFXIII, and Versus XIII will be 5 to 7 million while the 360 won't have passed a total of 1.5 million consoles sold there between November 2005 to Summer 2010 leading more Japanese developers to consider the PS3 to be the best option for their hd exclusives.  I do expect FF XIII, Versus XIII, and GT5 (along with other announced games) to lead to an increase in PS3 from the 3 million it has now to the 5 to 7 million figure.  If I was to narrow that down, I think its probable that the first week following Versus XIII's Japanese release 5.5 to 6 million PS3's will have sold in Japan (1.5 million more than now million as a result of FFXIII's release, 500,000 to 1 million more than now as a result of GT 5's release, 1 to 1.5 million more than now as a result of Versus FFXIII's release).

So in a year PS3 console sales will roughly double... which is absurd... because those exclusives will not push console sales that much...

      Saying something's absurd doesn't make it so.  Doubling from 3 million to 5 million or above is a very small double.  I'm sure that Monster Hunter 3 moved at least a million PSPs.

But FFXIII is not as big as Monster Hunter, which even it didn't move a million PSP's the spike after Monster Hunter Unite (Monster Hunters biggest PSP title) and the spike was only 60k... you over estimate some softwares hardware selling power by a LOT.

Just for reference...

Seriously man it's not going to happen common sense should tell you that...
