Will PS3 top 100 million?

[Gnizmo]

Back from the future? how do you KNOW THAT? because PS2 had price 149$ only in May 2004 and sold that year - 16 mln. or 2 mln. less then in 2003. And you know why? Because price halfed only after 4 years! PS3 will half it`s price already on second year. THAT will be a HUGE boost to sales.

I am almost certain you aren't even reading your own responses at this point because your arguement contradicts itself a couple times. Mass Market price is the killer for the PS3 here. Most people don't want to spend $300 on a gaming console. That is why you cannot compare the two sales just because they happen to be proportionally equivalent. There is still an absolute difference and that is what the consumer will respond to. Sales will go up, but not to PS@ levels when it was $149.

Since when MASS MARKET PRICE doesn`t MATTER???

See this is what I mean about not reading your own responses. I could have just put that as my respose to your last post and it would have worked. Mass Market price matters a lot, but that doesn't affect comparisons at all. I can compare two similar products that have a different price range. Welcome to highschool economics.

Why i CAN`T if they PROVE possibility of PS3 doing like PS2 and PSOne???

Because they are not accurate comparisons. With the PS1 you can show that it is possible for a competitor to come from behind with no strogn competition in Japan, but that is not the current case. The Wii is selling very strongly so you would have to have a graph where a stronger competitotr lost to a weaker one after having a huge difference in instal base.

The PS2 arguement is a closer one but again must be restricted severly. Yuo can prove that it might do as well as the PS2 in Europe only, but that says nothing about the rest of the world. So in Europe only you can make a case for it being a success.

Wha..??? 3 mln. from 120 mln. is less then 3%, whle 0.75k from 9 is around 8%.

I explained this already but you don't read responses so I guess you missed it. It sold 3 million on about 20-30 million PS2s and that is when the sequel came out killing its sales. Further it looked to level off quickly if I remember right meaning it didn't gain a lot from more hardware sales. The attach rate was between 10 and 15%.

PS2 costed 299$ when GC was launched at 199$, that really hurted PS2 sales. LOL.
When console REACH MASS MARKET PRICE, then price difference doesn`t matter ANYMORE.

Do you know what the generally accepted mass market price is? It ain't $300. It is $200.

YET, Sony sold 4 mln. PS3 at 600$ price. IF 4 mln. for 600$ is NOTHING for you.. then. LoL.

I am just going to copy and paste that again to give you another chance to respond to it intelligently. Or you could just make some nonsense up and dodge the point again. Your call.

And the Nintendo brand was stronger than the playstation brand back when the PS1 launched. The Atari brand was stronger than the Nintendo brand back when the NES launched. Brand loyalty isn't all that strong.

That`s only 15% of ALL PS sequels. Why get cheaper system with 15% of sequels, when they can get 100%?

They can't get 100% of their sequels on the PS3 though. Two of those games are exclusives. This is not a trend likely to stop. A lot of the smaller cult hits are going to run away from high developent costs because you can't sell that many games with cult hits.

LIKE 120 mln. PS2 USERS CARED??? =)))))))))

I betcha they did. The best game of every generation (review wise) is always on a Nintendo console exclusively. Most people don't buy two consoles though. I wonder who will have a problem with that this time...

So what, PS3 is better then x360 in all ways. HDD, Free online, Reliablility, Power, MANY GREAT BIG AA exlcusive games.

Opinion does not make fact. The 360 GPU can run rings arounf the GPU of the PS3. The controller for the 360 is way better imo, and the games tend to run better on the 360 for multiplatform games. How would you put it. Ah yes. [b[YOU FAIL!!!!!!! =)))))

it`s NEW on CONSOLES.

Making your own levels has been on consoles for ages. I think you could do it on the SNES. Mods might be. That doesn't make it innovative though. It just means it is catchjing up with the times finally.
