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


The next fiscal year's going to be even bigger according to them. Atleast 15mn sell through expected by the same camp.

I think that the people that said Sony was crazy are crazy.

When did they announce the shipment though, for some reason I seem to think it was before the Slim and price cut was announced.

Before the slim. Probably around may if i remember right.

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.

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

You can't make a direct comparison between two things in the same market. Everybody knows that the Wii is outselling the PS3, has always outsold the PS3, and will always outsell the PS3. Except you, perhaps, because judging by that post, you expected the PS3 to outsell the Wii for 2009?

I'd be careful how you go about gloating at failed predictions,  there is a lot of users on this site that may end up eating far more crow this xmas.

Ever consider that given this is a text based method of discussion the word impossible is about as strong wording as he could use to emphasize he thought it not possible.  I've seen a lot of posts on here recently that later this year will more than likely make a lot of users look rather silly, the difference is I will not be fishing them out to gloat at those users.   Ironically this is the reason I rarely enter those type of prediction threads because people insist on trying to bait people when they get a prediction wrong.
