Sony - PS3 V PS2 - View Post

My estimations for the generation are:

Xbox 360: 35-50 mil.
PS3: 60-80 mil.
Wii: 100-120 mil.

I don't think the PS3 will do the same as PS2, but it won't be a complete failure like many seem to think. I think Nintendo will sell a crapload of consoles during its 5 year lifespan, but once a new generation Nintendo console is out, people will swiftly move from the Wii to the next console. Although PS3 won't sell as much during the 5 years, I think it will continue to sell after the generation is done for quite a while like the last couple of PlayStation consoles.

Do you know why PSX and PS2 kept selling? The same reason why NES kept still selling. They were in the same position as Wii is right now, they were winning consoles and got the best 3rd party support because they were winning. Expect Sony to kill PS3 rather quickly when PS4 comes out and Wii keeping selling. And who said the BD winning will benefit PS3? Yes it will, for a six months to a year, after that we have cheaper and better BD players out.

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
