20M is actually 33% from 60M, not 85%.
2009 - 30M+
2010 - 40M+ and 10M GT5
2011 - 50M+ and 5M GT5
2012 - 60M+ and 2M GT5

I expect GT6 to come only somewhere in 2012.

PS3 at 60 million?

Seriously?

Right now its at 26 million, I think 60 million is out of the realm of possibility

I just want to ask. Why do you think this?

PS3 sales have increased with every year it has been available. Next year is its biggest and best software lineup. Sales are likely to increase AGAIN.

60 million is very possible by the end of its lifetime.

The increasing sales aren't going to continue forever you know, not to mention next year it'll face much harder price competition from the 360, and the fact is many of its big software titles are shared with the 360, its unlikely that it will be able to more than double its console base at this point

Sony will keep it around for 10 years. It's been out for 3. And sales will VERY likely continue to increase next year with Gran Turismo 5... God of War 3... Final Fantasy 13... Agent... Motion Controller... Wii Ports/Steals... Etc. And we dont even know what Sony have planned for Q3/Q4.

The fact is... I have proof of PS3 sales increasing every year. PS3 has some very high quality and high selling potential software. And Sony say they will use the 10 year plan for it. AND they still have the room for a lot more pricecuts...

Id say 60 Million is pretty much guarenteed.


Sony can keep it around for a century, doesn't mean people will buy it, its the consumer that decides how long a product remains on the market, not the company. You have proof of PS3 sales increasing, so what, that's what happens, sales increase, then they peak and then they decline. No hey don't have as much room for price cuts as you think, because they are losing money on the PS3 hardware at the moment. They have already hinted they don't want to price cut next year

 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
