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 |
Like i said, they want to keep it on the market for 10 years... And selling 250k a week at $300 seems like the public want it too. You still think they will be losing money on a $300 PS3 in late 2010/ early 11? You think they wont be able to afford a $50 pricecut in late 2010/ early 11?
All my time on this site i have seen you underestimate PS3 and make some rather crazy predictions. This time is no different.
|
250K for a couple of months is nice, but it doesn't say anything about the long term Carl. Its been selling like this since the price cut, but will it still sell like this next year, remains to be seen.
You really think that MS won't cut more than $50 dollars off 360 by early 2011?
|
Considering people expected it to be below the 360 again after a month of the pricecut... Anything can happen.
MS probably will, along with Natal launch. But who cares if they do? Will it suddenly stop PS3 from selling? No it wont. What if Sony do a counter drop and lower PS3 to $250? What then?
It's all easy with the ifs and buts. But right now PS3 is doing awesome, and has an amazing game lineup. There is no reason why strong sales cant continue.
|
Actually MS will probably cut in the spring and then again with NATAL, the recent specials on the 360 are MS seeing how well a price cut will be recieved.
Actually likely increases in 360 sales will probably cut into PS3 sales, the two are in a red ocean, so expansion of the 360 pie would likely contract the PS3 pie.
Sure PS3 is selling well, awesome is an overstatement, Wii last year was awesome, PS3 is doing nicely, but there is also no reason to expect the sales to continue for the next two and a half years just based on current sales, because the current climate isn't going to remain in place for that long
