Forums - Sony - PS3 will have Five 10-million sellers by early 2013

Granted 4 of them will be Call of Duty Games, but GTA IV is on pace to break the 10 million units sold barrier by early 2013. Most likely in January or February. Probably around the same time Black Ops 2 breaks the 10 million threshold. GTAIV Currently has 8.97 million units sold, and ended 2012 with 8.84 million units sold. It's been avereaging a steady 1.05 milion units sold the last 3 years. If it continues this trend it should end 2012 with about 9.89 units sold. That would give it 2 months to sell .11 million units, which is pretty likely. It sold .12 million units the first two months this year. At the latest I see it breaking 10 million in March or April, if it has a drop off, which it hasn't for three years now. Either way, it's a pretty big accomplishment for a system considering what people were saying about it just a few years ago. Still not as good as XBOX's potential 7 to 8 games reaching the threashold by then, but still an accomplishment. 

The only other game that comes close on the PS3 is Gran Turismo 5, which is 2 to 3 years away at the earliest. But I suspect that it eventually would cross the 10 million units sold as well.

this is very oddly written..

although thanks for working this out and posting :)



Possibly six, depending on when Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut hits.



if GTA V releases with at least 8 weeks to go in 2012, it'll hit 10 million as well



Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

Ye gt5 has a chance. With bundles it WILL do over 10million, but even without it can do 9+

Well, Reach and GTAIV on 360 should pass by that time as well, along with Halo 4 and the next COD this year. So 9. GTA V will probably do 10 on both platforms a lot faster as well.



 

Sony won't have any.

But the PS3 may have a couple. Both COD games. And GTA IV may reach it by early 2013, but I doubt it. Maybe in 18 months.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

So pathetic SONY cant cater to its own crowd



Gran Turismo 5 will surely get to 10 million, but wether its in 2013 or 2014 or later no one knows.

I actually thought Reach was a bit debatable in making it by early 2013 because of Halo 4's holiday presence and the fact that the Halo series is extremely heavy in years 1-2 and falls off greatly in years 3-5 on a consistant basis, most likely because of semi annual releases. I included GTAIV, Halo 4, and Black Ops 2, but I also thought the validity of Kinect adventures would be questioned by some as well considering it's inclusion with the kinect, so I chose to say 7 to 8.
