If 13 million per year is a crazy sell through, the expectations must be really low nowadays from Camp Sony. |
13 million for the year is just being realistic in my opinion.

Pretty much what Sony big wigs were thinking when they were planning to do the price cut/Slim combo.
|
you stated this:
the expectations must be really low nowadays from Camp Sony.
13 million system's Sold through is not low at all. for a $299.00 priced system, that doese what the playstation 3 does.
hell would you call currently 8.48 million system's sold per year pretty low world wide because that's what the xbox360 is doint right now and the year is not even over with and it is projected to sell over 10 million system's for the year. would you call that low. 8 million system's a year is not something to sneeze at.
the first xbox was at in 4 year's roughly 26 million total system's sold through
that's 6.5 million system's sold a year
the top system sold last generation was the PS2 140 million /10 year's =
14 million per year, and that was the leader.
it's not too far fetched to think 13 million is now low it's pretty d@mn high since what the PS2 was able to do is 14 million per year would you call that low, when the PS2 was the last generation's leader in world wide console's sales?

bacuase you are using the peak (or near peak) for the PS3 numbers to compare to the average annual number of PS2. If PS3 would average 13 million after 10 year (or even 5 years), it would make more sense.
|
has the PS3 hit it's peak ?
that's the point many people think this generation is at it's peak based on previous generation which I do not think that's even remotely true at all.
every one pointing out aligned sale's date per year when the PS3 is only been on the market for 2 year's in some cases and only 3.5 in the extreme.
and they alway's point to how the PS1 did or the PS2 did..
which is pretty pointless because the PS2 disd not start out at $500.00 or $600.00
the PS2 did not have as many incentives to purchase as the Playstation 2 did in it's 3rd year as the PS3 does, yes the PS2 had great game's a as a great incentive to purchase the system, but release the PS2 today or better yet launch the PS2 in 2005 how would it have done against the xbox360?
that's the big point the PS2 and the PS3 are not even in the same legue or even in the same sport.

You made an error by quoting an average for shipping figures, this might be Sony's peak year so it needs to be hitting peak year shipping figures of the PS2, not an average for comparisons sake. You actually brought the PS2 into the discussion joeorc, so nobody else is misguided in comparing past and present it was your statement oringinally fella.
|
my point is why must the PS3 hit it's peak right now this year?
no i brought in the PS2 for sale's because many people refer to system's "PEAK" YEAR BASED ON THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM'S DATA!
which you cannot expect that to be the case because already this generation has broke so many of those past trend's there is no real way to even compare the two , but many seem's to do just that when they view these generation's system's peak year. because previous generation peak year's seem to be 5 th year.
Previous generation's did not have the last place system getting the development support that the PS3 is getting
last generation did not have a $500.00 or $600.00 game console sell as well as the Playstation 3 has
last generartion did not have very robust online income generating stream's as this generation does which mainly keep's developer's to keep support because Digital download's are one of the thing's that developer's are exploiting to day moreso than any previous generation.
this generation is not the same generation of system's that was from 10 year's ago the market is no where near the same when it come's to the number of income stream's these companies have to day than the had 10 year's ago the landscape is not the same.
