Cool, if PS3 can stay on market for 10 years like PS1, it will sel over 100 million consoles

i have also pointed this out to other people and they called me a retard, lol, some people are just denying the power of the ps brand

Some people are denying kasz posts... >_>

Kazs always comes to positive PS3 sales thread to ruin it.

 

He said that PS1 was launched in US and Europe 1 year after it was launched in Japan and thats correct. However, he ignored the fact that PS1 was 299$ on its launch and PS3 was 599$ on its launch.He also ignored the fact that PS1 was launched before its competitors that PS3 was launched AFTER its competitor

Inflation wise the Ps1 would be like 400$ and the PS1 was launched after the Saturn in Europe, America and Japan but Japan is just a week..

so ps3 was more expensive at release then, thanks for confirming that, now it has fallen to $299 we should see some major improvements this year, i already expect 14m ps3's to be sold this year (if not more)

Is this based on current sales compared to last year? Because any lead build up now quickly diminishes once September starts and there is no slim release nor a $100 price cut to raise sales like last year (obviously assuming Sony isn’t willing to lose a lot of money on selling PS3s). Btw, I don't say you can't be right, I just think it is way to soon to make a meaningful prediction at the moment.

[b[it will easily do that amount with FF XIII, GOW III, and GT5 coming, of course that is just a point of view.

Iif x360 gets a price cut, it may be hard for ps3 to do that, to be honest that is the only thing that could hurt the ps3 at the moment, but they have tried that during christmas, and ps3 still came out on top, but like you said most of that was due to the ps3 slim

Hahahaha, none of those things have happened yet. And even when/if they do, the impact is likely to be far less than you assume.
