| DOATS1 said: @ totalwar23 you cant really say that though. if you compare the hardware from launch on this very site, you will see that ps3 sold just as much as the ps2 in the same time span, and still is. the reason why ps2 gained a big enough gap between the xb and gc was because it was released a year earlier than both of them, and by the time they were released, sony's top games already started coming out. i think the ps3 can do 100 million. i also think the wii can do close to 180 million at its current rate. or maybe even more. but thats only if its current momentum can be maintained. |
Exactly. When the PS2 came out, it had no competition (I'm not going to even talk about the Dreamcast) When the Xbox and the Gamecube came out, the PS2 still had no competition because both consoles were just so far behind. And the situation with the PS3? Not so much. The Wii is winning in Japan. The 360 is leading in the US. It's got a good deal in Europe but the Wii still has it beat. By the end of this generation, the people who bought PS2's will mix up and buy different consoles : 360s, Wiis, PS3s, and with that, it'll be very hard for the PS3's to reach 100 million. Also Consoles sales for last generation never got close to 200 million in sales. Yet, your prediction has the PS3 and Wiis selling 280 million units alone. Why the huge growth?
