Maybe slightly undertracked, but I think 2 mil in the channel is around normal numbers. Here's hoping Sony can reach their 15 mil prediction. But, if they can get GT5 out (as well as pumping out more of their incredible exclusives) this FY, I can definitely see it happening.

hmm.. the other consoles have about 1mln units in stock according to VGC and PS3 had some serious supply issues, so I expect to see adjustments soon

15m ps3?...........



FinalEvangelion on 13 May 2010

Q1 = -414 million
Q2 = -654 million
Q3 = 211 million

The sum of Q1 through Q3 would be -857 million.

So for Q4, it would be -33 million, if the total is -893 million. They should definitely have a profitable quarter for Q1 2010.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

I'll wait for the price drop then before I buy PS3. Who knows, it mite drop to $200 like TheSource suggested.

Black Phantom Edition has to wait until Fall. :/

I just can't see where Sony is getting 15 million PS3s from. That's 2 million more than last year which saw a $100 price drop and exclusives like Uncharted 2, God of War III, and Final Fantasy XIII in Japan.

Even with Gran Turismo 5, LittleBigPlanet 2, and probably Killzone 3, I don't see how Sony could possibly ship 15 million PS3s without a substantial price drop. Unless of course they are vastly overestimating the potential of PlayStation Move.

well maybe the price drop is coming, i didn't think the last 2 were coming when they did.  They have been pushing back profitability for so long now with price cuts, at this point i wouldn't be that surprised.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

$200

That would definitely do it.

in FY09 Q1 was very slow for PS3 sales, so I think it might be able to do 15mln without price drop.. there probably will be bundles though
