Forums - Sony - PS3 Sales Expected to Rise Up To 30% YOY on Price Cut

If it does +20/30% YOY for the rest of the year I will be mighty impressed.

It'd be quite the feat I think.



so where would a  30% increase YoY put the PS3 at for the week?

I'm confused by the term "Year on Year". Is it compared against the same week last year, the same month last year, or the entire year?

WOW!

That would be quite an achievement!

Where would it put it up against SONY's 15m sales forecast?



I don't care quite enough to follow numbers  or even try to compute, sorry :P
Ask kowenicki or seece!

20% increase year over year for the "Entire" year would be sales of 14.45 million (last year) would put it at over 17.3 million. I HIGHLY doubt this. So I am skeptical he means 20 to 30% entire YoY from last year.

If this is the case it would mean:

Week of Aug 21st 2010 PS3 WW sales: 168,264

30% increase=

Week of Aug 20th 2011 PS3 WW sales: 218,743

I am very doubtful of this kind of increase given how PS3 sales have been around 125,000-135,000 weekly worldwide recently. Edit: but I don't know if I would rule that out entirely as it wouldnt be out of the realm of possibility. Just unlikely IMO.

I don't think it will reach such levels as well.180k-190k max.
