so what happened to those that said PS3 is going to be dead last ? 

what happened to those who said Wii is going to be selling so much that there is never going to be anyone near?

What happened to people who said PS3 is not going to be doing anything in europe because of Wii and Xbox?

 

 

I'm still right here.

No one is getting near the 100M+ units the Wii has sold thus far. Some countries one console sells the most, in the other it doesn't. See xbox in japan and usa. What counts is the overall number. 

We can have a bet in here, if by March 2015, PS3 or 360 passes the Wii, you win. If not you lose.

The loser requests 6 months ban.

What now ?

It won't happen by March 2015, it will happen tho.

Both will be close to 84 mill by the end of this year.

Let's make it march 2085 then.

 

I just said 2015 because I think that is gonna be the last year ps3 is gonna be relevant with new releases. From that point upwards the console will survive on fifa and pes with barelly anything new but an update to the teams and uniforms. With really low but continuous hardware sales in the poorest countries.


PS2 sold 1.8m in the US in 2009, 3+ years after PS3 and Wii launched. Was doing 6m+ WW. As uch as you like to think these consoles are going to drop off the face of the earth, they'll have a good slow burn towards their death, not a crash like the Wii suffered.

Sony are pretty good with meeting their PS3 FY goals, they expect 10m this year and they won't be far off, they never have been. Fully expect them to be past 90 mill going into 2015, with 360 a couple mill behind.

Wii isn't going to hit 104mill either, dropping far too hard, they will barely ship 2m this FY (If that) and it's halving every year.
