Forums - Sales Discussion - Can the PS3 win without NA?

Not a chance, unless the 360 slows down here and stops and slows to a halt in Europe.

No. The ps3 needs america just to keep up with the 360 let alone outsell it. I think it will fare abit better thanks to a couple of recent and upcoming fps's, seeing as america is stereotypically obsessed with fps. Games like UT3, Orange Box, Haze, and KZ2 in the near future (but we'll see how that rolls over...I dont think its going to be half as big as people think.) should help alot but only time will tell.



 

 

 

I doubt it. USA tends to be the most commercialised country, and the holiday boost in America is generally the largest. Japan's holiday boost is nothing compared to it, and Europe's is largest in the Xbox360 controlled countries such as UK. Japan's influence drops considerably when it comes to Christmas.



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

Why without?
It`s actually doing pretty good WITH USA.

The attach rate of games are similiar to x360.

Just some facts:

By the end of november there were about:
Total: 11,8 mln. - 100%
9,1 mln. x360. - 77%.
2,7 mln. ps3. - 23%.

Now CoD4 sales:
Total: 2,014 mln.- 100%
Call of Duty 4 (Xbox 360) -- 1,570,000 - 78%.
Call of Duty 4 (PlayStation 3) -- 444,000 - 22%.

Bow AC sales:
Total: 1,357 mln. - 100%
Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360) -- 980,000 - 72%.
Assassin's Creed (PlayStation 3) -- 377,000 - 28%.

So with increas of console sold in USA, the game sales will also increase.
It will easy reach 6 mln. when LBP, KZ2, GT5, MGS4, GTA4 comes.
That will make pretty strong sales of games.
And well, catching x360, will be just a matter of time.. Maybe by the end of this year, IF FFXIII comes in 2008. =]

p.s. i expect 2 mln. GTA4 on x360, and 1 mln. on PS3. That`s already 33%.
Though, interesing thing i found now..



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

Well, last time it was like:
Japan Americas PAL
25.42 47.68 44.79
on PS2.

So yes, USA is only 40% of market. PS3 will have by the end around 15% of usa. And 15% from 47 is around 7 mln. But i am sure, PS3 will do more, then 7 mln. in it`s lifetime. =)

LOL HE'S BACK!

Please go play your bible games and don't force your opinions on us. Nobody cares. Nobody at all. Find another way to get attention. Although I guess I'll give you credit for not starting yet another thread called "Xbox 360 sucks"

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

rethink what you said? (gta4 2 million on 360!, 1 million on ps3!) i know lots of people who bought a ps2 for gta san andreas and gta3. (that's why gta3 is the highest selling game on the ps2!) there is no doubt that since people are used to gta on a playstation console they will go get a ps3!! (ps3 wouldn't be near wii sales but catch up quickly to 360 sales!!)
