Forums - Sales - Analyst predicts 127m PS3 sales

PS3 fanboys; you guys really need to cool it down with all this wishful thinking.

Stop being like some Gamecube fanboys last gen. Seriously.



PS3 is in third place. Deal with it. Accept it. Stop trying to justify how it will magically start selling amazing all of a sudden. The ps3 will simply not sell as well as the PS2, or at a similar rate. It cannot. The Wii has sold @ better and faster rates than the PS2. How the hell is the PS3 gonna overtake that?

Sure the slim re-juvenated the PS3's sales, but that has turned out to be more if an equalizer than anything.

Also the PS3 has already had all its big guns released. As far as GoW3? As far as Im concerned, people who want this game have already bought a PS3. The biggest gun the system now has is Gran Turismo 5.

Stop all of this stupid numbers stuff where you wish the ps3 could come out and destroy the competition.

The PS3 probably has the best software lineup, in my eyes, out of all the systems currently on the market, so stop all this stupid wishy wanty stuff, come back to reality, and enjoy the games. At the very least you can be happy GoW 3, Uncharted, Killzone, etc... are all on Sony's system.


PS. GoW3 is my most anticipated game. So dont think im just dissing PS3; Im not, I love the system a lot, one of my fav's ever. Im just dissing the fan boys who have their head so far up Sony's ass they can't see the light of reality anymore.

Christ, even I can only see PS3 doing 75-100 million in sales at either extreme, but 127m? Sorry, I don't see Arc pushing the PS3 to those numbers, cuz that's the only way it could.



Currently playing: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, NBA2k11, Metal Gear Solid, Picross 3d

I'm still baffled that everyone seems to just assume the PS3 will last ten years. PS2 even barely made it 10 years and that's the most successful console of all time. PS3 on the other hand is selling far worse than the PS2 did. Remember, it needs to last FIVE years before it can last 10.

Sony can repeat their "10 year plan" for PS3 until they are blue in the face, but the market is what decides the lifespan of a console, not so much the console maker.

 

The Ps2 only sold so well BECAUSE it was on the market for 10 years, most of which had a huge price drop (that the PS3 will eventually see around its 5 year mark). Even if the next console is released around the PS3s 6-7 year mark, I'm sure Sony will keep the PS3 on shelves much like it has the PS2. It will still continue to sell well although not AS well.

With the current momentum the PS3 has, 5 years won't be a problem. Its 4th and 5th years will still probably push 10 million units.


  It is not cost effective to keep something on the market if it isn't selling. The PS2 is still on the market because it sells not because Sony have kept it available.

Wow. In predictions, you usually try to be either right, or close. And then there are the wrong ones. There's fail, uber fail, epic fail, complete total dumbass (Hi, Pachter), and then there's this guy, somewhere out past delusional. Not going to happen. Seriously.

It's impossible to be more than epic fail. It's already epic.

Maybe you should lower Pachter to uber fail?

PS3 has all the technology which WII and Xbox will try to add.

When you typed that, do you get a zing in the head and realized Sony's "Arc" is copying Nintendo?

I'll believe a real analyst over a bunch of forum gamer kids any day. According to most of you PS3 was to die long long time ago.

Don't be silly.

Firstly, many of us are not 'kids'

Secondly, did you see their original Wii predictions?

Thirdly, how many of the people in this thread said PS3 was going to die? Can you produce evidence of this claim or are you generalising a few people's statements to represent every member of this thread's views?



Yes.

how do consumers decide if the ps3 lasts 10 years? only sony decide when that happens. if they keep supporting the ps3 for 10 years then consumers will keep buying it.

read it man, the analyist is saying the ps3 is gonna sell long after the wii is already dead. of course the ps3 will never overtake it any other way but you think the wii's gonna last longer than the ps3? i think the ps3 will be here for like 3-4 years more than the wii, so it'll have those extra years to get close to the wii.

As far as all their "big guns" released, do not forget.  Sony said it is a 10 year lifespan which we are in year 4 of.  

I think the developers will be able to put out games for the PS3 in the next few years that will blow away the "big gun" games that we have LTD.
