This could mean Wii will outsell PS2 then if Sony thinks PS3 could outsell PS2.

new 3ds

yoshi woolly world

zelda U

majora's mask 3d

Not going to happen. It won't break 70m in sales LTD. Granted that is still quite the trophy (no pun intended) as a non-leading console, but no where neary the 140m of PS2.



This actually could have come from 2006 where Kaz thinks PS3 will top 150M, maybe he doesn't like to lower his prediction?

Ahahah this is making me laugh I mean the Ps3 will never catch up to the ps2.

 

And this 10 year plan I dont really get how it will work cause already we are seeing that the consoles graphic are outdated.

LOL, Kaz Hirai must think the PS3 is a Wii. Maybe if the Xbox 360 and Wii didn't exist, but since they do the PS3 has no chance of even breaking 60 million in the next couple years when the generation ends. Whether SOny wants to admit it or not, the PS3 does not have 10 year legs like the PS2. They can support it all they like, but this generation ends when the next one starts and after the first of the new machines hits the market the PS3 will be dead in the water. The PS3 is not a PS2, the PS2 of this gen is the Wii and even it won't have the legs the PS2 had. This generation has three successes which means the sales are split between the three and Sony can't get those sales back no matter how hard they wish.

 

However, I don't begrudge Kaz Hirai for saying they'll beat PS2. It's his jop to boost the companies stocks and keep their stock holders happy.



I didn't like the options in the poll but I placed my vote anyway.

Gt5 plus 199 ps3 might give a boost

Might? I'm pretty sure each WILL give a boost. The $199 price point's boost will be permanent. It's how much that no one can calculate.


well i was saying according to preorders that gt5 is receiving its far more less than expected so according to this isaid Gt5 if ps3 is 199 might give a boost whether its short term or long term and if they bring ps2 backwards compatibility then it will be certainly huge

What is expected? Unless it's from Sony, other expectations are irrelevant. Besides, GT5 will have it's bigeest boost in EU, not the US (where we track preorders).

As I said, both will give a boost, easily.

well as it is the most featured racing game at least i was expecting it would have at least 1 million pre orders in us alone now thats my opinion thats it



For me preorders says nothing about real sales.

GT5 will sell a lot on US beside low preorders.

Lol.....but your opinion doesn't/won't determine if GT5 will cause a boost or not (which was the basis of the discussion). It's your opinion that GT5 may perform under expectations (even though, we have none). It's a fact that both GT5 & the $199 price point will cause a boost in PS3 hardware.


hmm at least u understood what i was tryin to say :P
