oh, yeah thats a little better i suppose

@FishyJoe

stop trolling my thread, if you want to talk about what Sony predicts do it in another thread. I am guessing your prediction was well under 8M.

It doesn't matter if it outsells the 360, that doesn't mean it reaches 8 mil by Jan 1. 230K still isn't 333K, and for every week it falls short it has to make it up in a later week. I just don't see it happening.

Leo-J said 250k and it probably will be around 225K 25K difference is not a huge deal.

Soriku predicted 5 million first changed it though.

8 million nah. 7 million huge chance that it will.

And I agree with some people that it is possible that PS3 will do better next year. I depends of a lot of factors like 'Will MGS4 release? What about KZ2? How will white Knight Story do ? etc..

Retailers don't carry 4 million consoles at the same time (certainly not in March). 500k - 1 million is reasonable though, so 14.57 million shipped would imply at least 13.5 million sold to consumers. Not going to happen, Sony will catch a lot of crap for that.

PS: Unless Sony Style Stores order thousands of consoles each on the 30th of March, of course.

leo 250k for this week would mean 80k+ in Japan you know....i expect roughly the same WW as last week ...maybe a bit higher (so 220k)


as for 8M, I have had it in my mind it would be as close as possible to 8M by the end of 2007 for quite a few months now (at least since May if not even longer ago)
At that time i think i predicted about 16M for Wii and 14M for 360...now obviously i think more highly of both of them, so its more like 18-19M for Wii, and 15-15.5M for 360.

After a price cut and the release of all of their major releases for 2007 the PS3 is still below 250,000 units per week in the middle of November; even with the boost in sales from Christmas it will be very difficult for the PS3 to average 333,333 or more units worldwide on a weekly basis. It may break 8 Million, but it won't pass it by much

where is that Soriku kid, I thought he would be here by now. he he he

Didint soriku say the ps3 would barely hit 5 million by the end of the year?

 Yes.
