| ethomaz said: VGC shows PS3 at 5,387,137 for Q3 plus the undertracked can put it near 6 million... so over 7 million shipped. My guess? 7.4 million. Or 75.4 million lifetime... ~ 2.2 million on shelves. |
See I come up with similar numbers as you but mine take ps2 declines in consideration. Which would mean ps3 is undertracked and needs less than 7mil shipped to make your final estimate. I expect about 5.5million in Q4 with ~1mil being in October. 74.5mil at end of Dec putting the ps3 ~1.4mil behind 360 in shipments.
Edit: it makes no sense to expect Sony to ship 1.5mil in the busiest half year last year and ship 2.2-2.4mil in the slowest half this year while the Ps2 declined every quarter last year. I expect at best matching sales... which would actually impress me still showing no decline from busy period.
