Forums - Sales Discussion - So who thought Sony was crazy when they said the PS3 will sell 13m for 2009

Gilgamesh on 26 February 2010

Looks like Sony is going to be right on with there fiscal year expectations. 

Currently the PS3 is at 12 million and they still have 6 weeks left to sell 1 million PS3's. Let's say they average 190,000 PS3's within the next 6 weeks that'll make 1.1 million PS3's sold, but clearly that number will be much higher because of FFXIII, God of War III, Yakuza 4, Winning Post World 2010 etc all releasing in March, wouldn't surprise me if the PS3 sold over 2 million in the next 6 weeks.

Yeah I'll admit. I went you guys are fucking smoking weed. But they did it. And they did it the right way. Awesome Price cut+ Re design+ Awesome game lineup right before the holiday season.

If 13 million per year is a crazy sell through, the expectations must be really low nowadays from Camp Sony.

If you think 13 million per year are low expectations,then I believe your the one smoking crack.

Just so you know they made that prediction like 6 months ago, before the price cut and slim when the PS3 was selling really bad, everyone thought they were insane to think the PS3 was going to make such a big improvement.

what?

we are in a

a) RECESSION

B) the price of the PS3 just hit over christmas $299.00

and it's still only FEB of 2010, and the price of the PS3 is still $299.00

13 million for the year is just being realistic in my opinion.

Pretty much what Sony big wigs were thinking when they were planning to do the price cut/Slim combo.

Its still low expectations, when compared to a certain smaller console
