Why I`m here? I will try to be educated.

PS3 sold 6.573 million until 2th november. We have only 9 weeks and three days until the years end. To match what I said, PS3 needs to sell 3,327 million. I don`t said it will sell 9 million, but 9. something, wich is 9.0-9.99. 

Let`s look at last years sales: 3th november until 05th january - PS3 sold 4,8 million and I gave it 4 more days. If you discount your 30% (look at your post, "dude") = 4.8 - 30% =  3.36 million for this year! 

So, if PS3 sell that amount it will not reach 10 million (almost, of course).

I can be wrong, but this is not a random comment.

Let remember something: PS4 launch this year and we have this PS3 sales (6,5 million in 10 months), that maybe is still a little overtracked, with GTA Bundle. 

So, you're saying that the PS3 will sell 9.933M. Now factor-in the fact that VGChartz is undertracking the PS3 by 68,489 (since more than 80M by Nov 2nd). Using your estimate, that gives us 10.001489M PS3 in 2013.

I live how you wriggle your way out of this though with your 9.0-9.99. "The PS3 sold 9,999,999 - I was right, it did not reach the 10M mark... woo hoo"..

And guess what? The PS3 is still $269. The price hasn't dropped since 2011. Plenty of room to drop the price and plenty of legs left.

I`m out. There is no discussion with someone that do not accept other opinions and you already show us your grade of knowledge about this theme (PS3 undertracked here...).

Mate, I put forward my arguments and just because you cannot counter them doesn't mean that you need to throw a fit.

 

My point stands. So one more and I`m done: Sony shipped 6,5 million PS2+PS3 this year (Jan-September), we don`t know how much exactly is the number of PS2 or PS3 shipped, but have in mind that this was the last PS2 shippment and I will not be surprise if the last PS2 shippment quarter was about 1 million, but is just a guess. 

 

And everbody here knows that shippment is different than sold to consumer. 

 

What we knows about shippments? PS3 just reach 80 million some days ago and PS3 shipped less than 6,5 million in 9 months. If you discount PS2 numbers maybe even in shippment will be hard to achieve the 10 million mark. But we will not know, why? Because Sony is a black box, it will show us combined numbers and in Q3 it will include PS4 numbers.

 

So, is what I already said: maybe PS3 can`t reach 10 million units sold this year, but it will surpass the 9 million mark (9. something). But let`s see what happend. I`m not the owner of truth and neither you are.

About shippment numbers, well, I don`t know what think about it, but looking at the data is all about the same, the problem is that Sony is a black box and we will only knows accurate numbers when it reveal the next milestone.
