joeorc,

Maybe I need to be more specific. People are expecting the PS3 to hit between 15 and 16.5 million in 2010. That aint gonna happen.

As for PS3 at $199. Safe to say that is a couple years off.

I also made a comment about 10 year plan. Some people thought that I meant that PS3 wont be on sale 10 years from release. That isnt the case both the PS3 and the 360 will still be a available at retail on thier 10th anniversary. What I was saying was that the PS4 and the Xbox Next will have been already available for a couple of years at least when the 10 year anniversary hits. PS3 and 360 sales will be on the downward slide, yet very profitable stage then (well the 360 will anyway. dont know if PS3 will ever be very profitable).

In a recession and the Price of the PS3 is still st $299.00 I do not even think Sony expect's that ,

15 to 16 Million system's sold per year right now is the upper high end in projection's

Sony coughs to PS3 stock shortfall

Demand too high, spins console giant

Sony has admitted it is not shipping enough PlayStation 3 consoles into the UK.

The company told the trade paper MCV today that it is experiencing PS3 "stock issues". Sony UK Sales Director Mark Howsen said: "We are doing our best to address these issues and hope to catch up in the next few weeks."

The shortages - which Sony says are particularly hitting the 120GB PS3 Slim - affect the US too. The company's US wing said earlier this week that would-be buyers can "expect tight inventory in the coming months" - 'sold out' signs in shops, in other words.

Howsen paints the shortages as a sign of strong demand for the console - 20 per cent higher than Sony had forecast."

projecting 10 million world wide /per year is not out of the relm though!

10 million / year in 10 year's is 100 million there are many people that do not the think the PS3 or the xbox360 can sell 10 million system's a year for 10 year's, with the reduction of the price for these system's not even in the $149.00 to the $199.00 price yet,

right now even at $199.00 + for the xbox360

an

right now even at $299.00+ for the Playstation 3

demand for the system's are still quite strong, and were not even getting to the lowest price point's yet.
