@rocketpig:

x360 by the end of 2006 with having NO shortages (AND aslmost no competitors) sold 8 mln.
again by the end of 2007 with having NO shortages (with cheaper price(then ps3) + 2 games) sold 8 mln.

That is a success?

Your math is teh fail.

Roughing it out by eye, the 360 sold around 6.5m in 2006 and around 8m in 2007.

Now please, do us all a favor and be quiet.

@ crazzy: There is that flaw again... just because there are shortages does not mean those 1.2million can be factored into 2006.

SALES of 360 have increased... you cannot deny that crazzy [also it should be 8.1 in 2007, because it is at 16.2 now with only 90k extra 2008 sales from Eu]

Personally I imagine I am ina minority thinking PS3 will have sold more LTD than 360 by the end of 2009, but that doesn't blind me to the obvious increase in sales for 360 between 2006 and 2007.

If the PS3 had the hardware problems the 360 did and wasn't the successor to the PS2 do you think it would have even sold half of what it did?

@TWRoO:
why can`t???
2006 Christmas was the first year, when x360 had NO shortages.

OR do you think, that 30k sold in OTHERS in first 16 weeks represent PS3 sales??

x360 had 2 Christmas without shortages - THAT what COUNTS in reality. Oh yeah, 8 and 8.1, that amazing progress.



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

 No. Your point?



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.

Oy. You are dense.

2005 sales ~1.5m

2006 sales ~6.5m

2007 sales ~8m

Why is that so hard for you to understand?

don't forget that when the ps3 hits $299 the wii will be under $200, unless its still beating both the 360 and ps3 week after week.

The thiing about the 360 is that it is still expensive to some people. If Sales don't pick up after they do a real price cut then the 360 might really be in trouble. But to say that any console is doomed or will fail at this stage in life is just wrong.
