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.

if you say so



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
