The SNES DID dominate the Genesis. The only region in which the Genesis sold well was the US. The Genesis(Mega Drive) got obliterated in Japan. If I remember correctly the SNES sold 49 million consoles worldwide to the Genesis' 30 million. The SNES took the US and Japan. The Genesis took a narrow lead in Europe. Neither the SNES nor the Genesis sold that well in Europe. Also if you look at the sales thus far. This is what the PS3 would have to do to break even with the 360 and the Wii by the end of 08 and the end of 09: The PS3 would have to outsell the 360 by 380,000 units a month world wide to break even with the 360 by the end of 2008. The PS3 would have to outsell the 360 by 220,000 units a month world wide to break even with it by the end of 2009. The PS3 would have to outsell the Wii by 200,000 units a month world wide to break even with it by the end of 2008. To break even with the Wii by 2009, the PS3 would have to outsell the Wii by 122,000 units a month worldwide. That is just to break even. I don't see either happening by 2008. While 2009, would be a more likely point, I dont see that happening either. |
When is the start datum for those numbers? This month? If so these numbers is going to be even worse because it doesn't look to good in Japan for PS3. |
Well actually my numbers are off. I just recalculated them. I didn't use enough months. There are 20 months until the end of 2008 and 32 months until the end of 2009. That being the case. The PS3 needs to outsell the 360 by 326,000 units a month and the Wii by 177,000 units a month to equal each consoles sales by 2008. As for the end of 2009, the PS3 needs to outsell the 360 by 204,000 units a month and the Wii by 110,000 units a month.
