slowmo said: Sales will plummet when the PS4 and 720 are released so this still will not happen. 90-95 will be the final figure IMO. |
Last year Sony said that sales in Latin America were up 200% YOY, and that's before it got a MASSIVE price cut in Brazil. Look at PS2 shipments.
FY2009 Shipments: 7.9 million
FY2010: 7.3 million
FY2011: 6.4 Million
FY2012: 4.1 million
FY2013: Somewhere in the vicinity of 2 million prior to being discontinued
The vast, vast majority of those shipments were in developing markets. Incidentally PS2 has sold around 6 million in Brazil. After the PS4 launch sales in the 3 primary markets will slow but emerging markets still have at least 1 more years worth of growth left in them, especially if we see a worldwide price cut this year. And that's not even accounting for the fact that sales in the primary markets are still going semi-strong. Also, PS3 should easily ship more in FY2014 than PS2 did in FY2009.
