Of course. Who ever thought that the PS2 could be dethroned? |
I thought the DS had passed them a long time ago. Oh well. The Wii might have passed them if Nintendo actually made some games for the system and continued to promote it for 5 more years.
|
There's a high chance the WIi finishes last actually.
|
Your definition of high and my defintion of high must come from different books.
|
But it is a certainty that it will finish no higher than 2nd.

The only difference is that I use logic to come to that conclusion while you use fanboyism.
|
Right. Because logic dictates that a console that took 6-7 years to sell 75 million during peak sales will sell another 25 million after the successor launches.
The PS3 is not the PS2. Selling 1/3rd of its total sales after the successor releases is not a certainty. A possibility, sure, but a certainty is not the right word.

Sales peak? Where are you getting that from? The system costs more right now than the Wii at launch. I'd say it'll peak when it reaches the mainstream price of $149. If at $129, the PS3 isn't able to 100M sold, then you'll be right. But as it stands, the PS3 is at 78-79M at $270 (and that's the lowest price worldwide). As the price becomes affordable in developing countries, the sales will keep accumulating. Sales aren't going to die any time soon.
Also, 78-79M is not 1/3rd of 155-160M.

u misunderstood what he meant by 1/3, PS3 is about 75m, 1/3 of that is 25, meaning he thinks it wont pass 100m or Wii total sales. And yes its sales peaked in 2011, 2012 was lower and 2013 is lower than 2012 thus far. A price cut to $200 will boost sales but this late in the gen it wont help it have better YOY sales but rather stop it from declining as fast. I also doubt PS3 will have nearly as good post gen sales as PS2, mostly since this gen has lasted much longer and much much stronger competition from 360/Wii as opposed to Xbox/Gamecube
