im curious
which is your prediction for PS3s LTD sales?


What you mean? :P

It is still mathematically possible; assuming PS3 has the resiliency of PS2, and it continues to sell at a minimum or average of 221,500 for 179 weeks straight.

All Sony would have to do it strategically place counters on or before the release of Wii U and its games, as well as the release of the successor of Xbox 360 and its games by form of price cuts, bundles, abundance of AAA games preferrably exclusives, and most of all, persuasive marketing. PS3 could reach 105M by Jan first or second week of Jan 2016.

Ultimately, for your prediction to come true, Wii's life would have to end abruptly to a grinding halt by the release of Wii U or several months after.

I really hope someone is bookmarking these threads so we can come back and laugh at these silly predictions.

I wonder why it is the Sony fans who make the majority of these insane and unrealistic predictions.


I don't understand why you say that. You registered in 2007, are you saying you never even noticed the "how many years until Wii passes PS2", "how long until Wii reaches 200 million" threads years ago? Or "PS3/360 will not pass 50/60 million" by Nintendo fans?

 

I'll bookmark this thread for you, if you haven't done already.

For every John Lucas in the Nintendo camp, there's a leo-j, a BHR-3, and a now a Turkish - then all of the lemmings follow you guy's lead!

Wait, what? On the front page, it says that Wii has sold 2.4m so far this year. Do you have some other source you're using? I mean, Wii ain't doing that swell this year, but it certainly isn't that bad.

That guy was saying PS3 only closed that much of the gap this year.

My numbers come from the latest Nintendo fiscal results

You realize that 0.71 and 0.88 add up to 1.59, right, :P? Plus, that's shipped until end of June, not sold until now, which is what I think he asked. Not that it matters, really. Just pointing it out.

how many wii's sold so far in 2012?


1.5m

Around 5-6m for the year, I'd say. Absolutely horrible drop

We're over half way through the year, and the holidays are going to be focused around the Wii U.  They'll be lucky to sell any more than 4m by the end of the year.  And I figure they'll be selling half as much as the year before from then on.  It may very well take several years for the Wii to hit 105m total sales, which makes it all the more possible for PS3 to be in a legitimate race to that number.

When the new Wii and Xbox hit (especally in the US and UK) ps3 sales will fall off a cliff in the west.

So, no.


sure, I wouldn't want to touch your crystal ball...

Once it re releases at a much lower price point.. we'll see what happens.. especially in Japan..
