Forums - Sony - Prediciton - PS3's 245% increase in sales last week is a joke

Mummelmann on 27 November 2007

I don't see any reason why the PS3 can't have an increase this big with the price down and some nice bundles available.

God some PS3 fans are angry at this site =\

Personally I think we should just wait and see for the week. The percentage is highly possible but I won't take Sony's word for it, they don't track retail sales and will always take the high end of estimates.

If it actually is 245% increase instead of 145% like everyone assumes, then that would be around 300,000 PS3s for the week which would be insane.

If the ps3 manages to surpass 200k this week(in NA), I will change my prediction to 9M.

Oh god this guy again. Do you have any positive articles? I think its time to give it up. Xbox's short 3 month reign over the PS3 is over.

It's up 245% over last year, but I guess we will know for sure tonight. Bottom line, PS3 wins for the third week in a row with less games, higher price. Momentum is totally in PS3's favor, looks like it may be time for the 360 price cut huh?

Although I dont think it will happen, if PS3 has passed the 360 in NA this week the PS3 is going to pass the 360 WW by next September easily.

And the PS3 WAS SOLD OUT AT WALMART AND BEST BUY. I posted it a million times. Both 40gb and 80gb were sold out at many stores, while only the Premium was sold out at some best buys.


*clapping* Good run Xbox. You actually had people thinking you were going to beat the PS3 this generation lol.

3 month reign? oh I see you must be a scientologist with one of those weird calendars. My whole beef is that Sony makes these announcements that are sometimes lies, which then every rabid fanboy as yourself eats up. Sony is then corrected but that part never reaches fanboy ears.

Oh and its not compared to last year, but last week.

Fanboyism is a serious problem within Vgchartz and it will be one of the biggest reasons why this forum will never grow to be a decent size. No one wants this sort of **** all the time other then the rare few who have nothing better to do with their time.

Until Vgchartz Moderators understand the line between being unnecassarily negative, troll, argument posts and a coherent proper discussion this forum will maintain it's nice little niche it has going and will never expand.

That is why you always see the same old users, saying the same old crap, provoking the same old argments.

This thread was never necessary but to provoke negative reaction why not make it anyway. You guys may hate GAF but as a forum it expands at an alarming rate and it does it by drawing the line between trolling and discussing. Something this forum doesn't do.

I think your replying to the wrong thread. Or you just havn't read it. Whats the problem with my prediction? I believe that its not true, I believe that when the official numbers come out it wont reflect what Sony said. Should I just keep quiet and wait till the numbers come out and say "ahah! I knew it"??  

Oh btw, your trolling my post..

I just wonder why gebx is so obsessed with smack talking the PS3? He posts polls that seem to always be knocking the PS3, but he's a self admitted Xbox fanboy.

Is he ramping up these negative posts to protect his precious RRoD machine?

Wait till the numbers come out before discrediting any sales numbers. Neither of us really works with stores or Sony to know exactly what they are basing those numbers off of and it's best to leave it to the pros to speculate.

Its called a prediciton, you make them before the numbers come out... making a prediction after the numbers came out is... well pointless.

Why does everyone hate my polls? I'm a fanboy, but not blind, even I can admit that the PS3 is doing a hell a lot better than anticipated these holidays.

gebx, you might want to change your sig and add busted to the 360 selling 1mil in Japan by the end of 07 because that would require over 100,000 every week for the rest of the year and that ain't going to happen.

Yeah, that Japan one sure didn't pan out, and the 360 doesn't look good either unless some Wii factories accidently blow up..

It seems very likely to happen, holiday shopping and black friday...

What does seeing many PS3s still in stores mean except that there were many PS3s in stock, which we already knew. It doesn't disprove the huge increase.

Also were you so offended by this that you had to make a thread to convince people that it's not true? Seems like fanboyish panic to me.

You should have waited for the November NPDs or at least VGC numbers before saying BS, cause now if it turns out to be true you will appear very silly.

Looking at Vgchartz number, no console had anything close to that significant increase during the black friday weekend. It's one of the main reasons why I think Sony is bsing. Am I offended that Sony spins the numbers to make its console sales look better then what they actually are?? No, but those who believe this should be when they find out its another Sony lie. Again, its a prediciton, making it after official numbers come out is pointless.

A) The E-Mail specifically states PS3, not playstation family

B) You don't know what they're announcing. Could be, could not be... We don't know

C) Uh... duh? That's PR 101, use good numbers and percents... Point?

D) Um... PSP in Japan, after the slim and Crisis Core came out?

E) Umm... this site is only 10,000 strong. There are over 340 million americans. This sit counts for less than .001 percent of the population. And all members aren't American.


While your point still stands, the 300 millionth American was born last summer. As such, I find it very hard to believe that we've had 40+ million babies since.
