September 2009 introduction of a $299 PS3 Slim = 13 million PS3 sold in 2009

For that to happen it has to sell like 8 million between September and December... last year it sold 4 million in that period. Are you really saying a $100 price cut and a slim model can double sales during a recession?

 


lol I knew u or Squill would come with the seasonal comparisons. Damn it.

But yes, almost double last year I think is possible. U know, the PS3 had a very bad Holiday sales in both NA and Europe didnt it? (like flat sales compared to 07 or something)

If Sep-Dec truly was 4 mill in 2008 and 8 mill is needed for 13 mill in 2009 then no, that wont happen. Maybe 7 mill though?

7 million maybe... if GT5 comes this year. It's still a 75% improvement, which is a lot to ask for with just a price cut and a new model.

I mean, what's the last time we saw a console improve by 75% with just a price cut?

 

Don't forget about FF XIII in Japan. That alone may boost it an extra million just in that region.
