Avinash_Tyagi on 27 November 2007

I think it'll miss it, but only by a little, less than 200K



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Right here goes:

The 360 is on 13.43m Worldwide and the PS3 is on 6.13m Worldwide but this is including the Others sales for last week and not the NA or Japan.  We should expect the 360 sales to be better in NA than the PS3, but the PS3 to have better in Japan.  I reckon we should be seeing figures of 150-160k total for NA and Japan for the 360 and maybe 130-140k for the PS3 for NA and Japan.  This should put the 360 on 13.60m and the PS3 on 6.27m once the dust settles this week.  Then we have 5/6 weeks remaining until the end of the year.

The PS3 needs 1.73m to get to 8m whereas the 360 needs 2.4m to get to 15m.

IMHO, I reckon that the PS3 will get to around 8m when the 360 gets to around 15m seeing as the momentum Worldwide seems to be with the PS3 slightly.

Anyway, 1.73m is achievable, and if it doesn't happen by the end of this year, the PS3 will pass the 8m mark very early next year, probably in it's first week in January.

Head on the line again.....

End of 2007, the PS3 will have between 7.7m-8.2m...and I will pop for 7.9m; whereas the 360 will have between 14.95-15.4m...and I will pop for 15.1m



Prediction (June 12th 2017)

Permanent pricedrop for both PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro in October.

PS4 Slim $249 (October 2017)

PS4 Pro $349 (October 2017)

I think their is do doubt at all that the PS3 will sell 8 million this winter. I think the real question is if it will hit 9 million. I predicted back in August the numbers in my sig. I still feel they are within 500k of reality for each console. Based on what I see right now I feel very comfortable with Wii at 18.5, but feel I overestimated Japan, and Underestemated others. The PS3 I feel I was 500k high in Japan, 300k high in the US and about 300k low in others. With the 360 I fell I was fine in Japan, 300k low in the US and 300k low in Others.

As it stands right now I see the battle being 18.5, 15.5, 9 by years end. This would put Sony and MS in the same exact spot as this time last year, and Nintendo doing their crazy magic for the time being.

(note: to thouse who might notice, my PS3 total in end 07 predictions chart now says 9.5 instead of 10.5. I have not changed my predictions, just noticed I am an idiot and 4+3+2.5=\=10.5. Thanks)

I think it's depending largely on this weeks data - if PS3 is over 350k for this week I'm pretty confident it will be over 8million at the end of the year - if it's under 300K I think it will be slightly below 8million

Then it have to sell 250k in Japan/USA its going to be difficult, I am very skeptical.

Considering 360 sold 2.8 million last year in the same timeframe, we are guessing it might actually sell MORE with a cheaper price and games


but heck what do we know right?

It wont sell more, it has to much competition.

i think its possible, was one the hardware table befor looking and from -

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 28th Oct 2007 to 25th Nov 2007:

Console PS3
Total 831,688

if that number is correct i dont see why the PS3 cant have 8 Millions by end of the year, i spoke to the owner of my local Game store and he said they completely sold out of 60Gb and have a waiting list, and they neary out of the 40GB, but are expecting a lot more in, as they are selling very quick, and thats just in the last week



CrazzyMan on 27 November 2007

6,3 mln. this week.

It will be hard for them with out a hit game. They will likely ramp up the Blue ray giveaways, maybe 20 free movies ,extra controller, and resistence, ratchet, combo pack to stimulate demand
