If I am correct? And let's say that the PS3 will only sell 50 000/week from here on, that's 200 000/month. And the months of November and December are always about +50%(or more) in sale. So that would mean 200 000/month for 10 month in a year and let's say it makes 1 million in total for both November and December. I think this is fair. This would give us 200k x 10 = 6m + 500k x 2 = 7m And then take 7m x 3(years) = 21m So 21m + the current 81 million gives us 102m consoles lifetime. So I do think it's possible. But, and a big but. This depends on so many factors. This would mean that the PS3 would have to live on for another 3 years. This would also mean that the PS3 would have reasonable price cuts to keep it attractive for all three years. This would also mean that Sony would have to push games for this system to make it attractive, too, not only third party crap-ware. And probably many other reasons. If they can live up to this, then yes, the PS3 will continue to sell and can absolutely achieve 100 million. This will absolutely be interesting to see in three years, what did happen and what not. About the X360, no, I don't think so. :( Because I think that Japan+Europe+Others is what will matter the most here. |
200k per month isn't 6 million in ten months... It's 2 million. So 2 mil + 1 mil for holidays =3 million. 7 years for 21 million.... No.
