I got it off NeoGaf actually. I didn't do that graph, don't even know how to.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

I beieve this as a fact ps3 sales are blasting skihigh

"Has any game system in history suddenly had a 400% sales spike after the Christmas holidays ended and then kept that same momentum for 4 more years?"

I think that is not the point. In Dezember the PS3 will do at least 1.5 mio so there needs to be no 400% spike after the holidays. You cannot take a per-month approach to this chart since they clearly only made projections for the whole years without taking seasons into account.

I wish I had a job like this. I would eat pizza all day and make stuff up ...

If you look at the chart that Bod supplied, you would see that it is exactly what they are implying. In around January 2008, sales apparently spike so drasticly, that it outpaces the Wii for the next 4 years.

 It's still an absolutely ridiculous position. Basically the 360 has only down to go, Wii will slow down, and the PS3 will start eclipsing both (conveniently right after reality ends and their forecast begins?).

"If you look at the chart that Bod supplied, you would see that it is exactly what they are implying."

Yes but the chart is simplified because there are no seasons included. If you look at the main chart you will see no christmas spikes. For no system for no year (even 2007) So the PS3 wouldn't have to spike 400% after christmas (because it already sells 1 -> 1.5 millions during Nov/Dez) but it would need to increase sales 2008 vs. 2007.

Let's see. 2007 the system cost 600$ and it had NO games until November. With 400$ and a titles like AC, CoD4, Ratchet, we have already seen impressive gains. 2008 its library will have more tentative superhits than the other systems and the price could drop into mainstream territory (300$) by christmas. If the PS3 doesn't sell much much more systems 2008 than 2007 I would be really surprised. 300-400% and eclipsing the Wii? Doubtful but surely not absolutely ridiculous.

i know what the generation depends on: me. i will win the lottery and have the power to buy 100 million consoles

to bad though, i'm buying a new paintball gun with that money. doomsday for video games!

@Kyros,

True. For all we know, they might even predict PS3 selling zero Jan-Nov 08 and have all its sales in Dec.
