Will PS3 top 100 million?

[CrazzyMan]

There you go using that word incorrectly again.

WW - since LAUNCH - NOT per REGION.
x360 sold only 500k in Japan in 2 years, so what now? it won` reach 20 mln. WW?

FACT: 1) MOST PS3 cost at launch 600$, PS2 cost 300$.
FACT: 2) PS2 launched in 2000, PS3 in 2006.
FACT: 3) Different launch times across the world.
FACT: 4) PS2 didn` have REAL competitors, PS3 now has.
You IGNORE these FACTS, right?

Everywhere except for in the sum total of Europe

SO PS3 doing GREAT in Europe(like PS2). That makes 40 mln. PS3 alone in that region.

Ratchet and Clank.

Ratchet and Clank PS2 - 2.93m It came by the end of 2002, with 43 mln. ps2 sold.
Ratchet:ToD - 0.75m it came by the end of 2007, with 9 mln. sold.
If you expect 0.75 coppies with 43 mln. PS3 sold, then you are fool.

Prove your claim. Show me one shred of evidence the PS1 ever struggled world wide against competing consoles. Just using Japan does not count either.

360 and Wii. It is losing exclusives to both systems.

To x360? PS3 Still have over 40 exclusive games in 2008. How many x360 has?
PS3 has more PS3 exclusive+x360 multiplaform games compared to Wii in 2008.
PS3 has more PS3 exclsive games, compared to x360 in 2008.

@Bubblicious,
PS2
2000 - 6 mln.
2001 - 22 mln.
PS3
2007 - 9 mln.
2008 - 25 mln. (prediction)

The PS3 lacks the PS2's momentum

299$? How about that? =)

Due to its staggered launch it actually sold a shockingly small number of units the first year it was out. PS3 fanboys love to cherry pick that one fact and ignore why it is true.

@bdbdbd,

The facts people point at you doesn't seem to work. You ignore nearly all of them. For example, you show how PS3 sells equal to PS2 WW, but ignore the fact looking sales regionally, it trails behind. 360 was the fastest selling console before the Wii came out, still it lost to PS2 nearly everywhere.

and YOU IGNORE ALL 4 FACTS above. WHY?

Now, if you really want us to consider the circumstances in which PS3 would sell 100M, you need to get reasonable, use real arguments and not ignore the facts. I would be willing to consider all the possibilities, although i don't see PS3 to make it only to 50.

RIGHT PRICE and +100 GREAT GAMES - That is REASONABLE.

The reason why PS3 does so good in Europe, in comparision to PS2, is because the price difference is actually really small. But the competition aspect is different this time; it's not the console with highest momentum.

The reason why PS3 doesn`t do so good in Japan/USA, in comparision to PS2, is because the price difference isn`t actually small. But the competition aspect is different this time; it's the console with highest momentum att 299$ price.

@Stever89,

they gained marginally nothing year over year, and then decreased rapidly after the 3rd year.

ALL THESE speculations made on FIRST ps3 year.
IF PS3 will sell 16 mln. in 2008, then WHAT?
