You think that the PS3 will average 65k a week in NA?

HAHAHAHAHA. Come on now, its almost April, yet the PS3 is still selling 60k a week plus. There are huge releases upcoming, most likely a huge price drop, and increasing demand for Blu-Ray. It will have to average atleast 90-100k this year, unless something drastic happens.

you do have a point there.

 

okay I think I'll say about 80,000 per week. So maybe more like summer '09.

You are both forgetting that the christmas season is responsible for something like 1/2 of retail games sales (in America).

right now it's at 65k per week. If it sustains that until U.S. thanskgiving (when xmas shopping begins) that will be  1/2 the total years sales.   That's 8 months away.  32 weeks.

32 * 60k =  1920 k consoles

already sold up to march 3 =700k  (pretty close to 60/week so far this year...)

total until start of xmas season = 2620k

Xmas adds another 2620k

Total sales for 2007 = 5240k   (< - note that it averages around 100k/week)

Start of year 3600k

Total end of 2007 = 5240+3600= 8840k.

It will have a good year, but it won't break 10M. I don't even think a price drop would do it, they are well short.
