Yes there should be another option for yes to 360 and no to PS3 and no wo Wii. PS3 will come close, but not pass 60, maybe 58M for them and 93-4M for Wii

i hope i don't gett moded for this.

 

i brought all of you back to see if you have different opinins on why PS3 won't sell 60m before Jan 2012.

i'd like to know why. are you expecting PS3 to sell 500k throught Nov-Dec? even with 500k+ a wk they would sell 59-60.

 

Ok here is an explanation...

 

ps3 won't reach 60mil. Its at 53.3mil. Last year from week after October 2nd to January 1st it sold 6.5mil. This year it would need to sell 6.7mil in that timeframe

The pricecut hasn't been spectacular for ps3 sales. Its already down YOY. Last year ps3 has playstation move which actually boosted hardware quite a bit. It also had GT5 which helped tremendiously in EMEAA. This year it has no Huge exclusive. Just another uncharted, and as sony fans often say about halo and gears, people who want to play uncharted already bought a ps3. It won't have a big boost on sales, much smaller than even gears of war 3 or halo reach last year since it doesn't have a custom ps3 bundle, just a normal one. 

So in conclusion, the ps3 doesn't have a chance in hell of passing 60mil unless it is currently undertracked. Is that good enough for you?

 

360 making it is a given since even if it gets no holiday boost it will get to 60mil. Wii won't make 100mil, but I think it will be the best seller this holiday again. Sales always just explode near the holidays for reasons I won't state in fear of sounding like im flaming.

 

yea thanks bunches.

i guess this wasn't worth getting moded over. (sad face)
