Can PS3 and/or XBox 360 reach 80 million console ltd sales?

Currently PS3 has sold 66.1 million and XBox 360 has sold 68 million. PS3 averaging 11 million per year over 6 years and the XBox 360  averaging just under 10 million over 7 years.

I believe it will be a close call for both to reach 80 million. New systems are due out in 2013 and sales of the current systems are expected to fall. PS3 has best chance of reaching 80 million but the XBox 360 may fall just short of reaching 80 million.

We shall see how the PS3 performs with the new"Super Slim" if this ever happens. And I would never underestimate the Box it gets the biggest holiday boost every year. And it will interesting to see what happens when they lower the Kinect price.
I say both platforms have a realistic chance.



I think they both will, but 90mil is far less certain...

Both will likely fall off the cliff, like the Wii this year, next year though. So add 10-15mil to sales at the end of this year for MAX LT sales IMO. PS3 may sell a bit more though, depends on success in developing markets.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

both. Easily.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

No way, smartphones and tablets are eating major marketshare right now and WiiUs right around the corner. They would be happy they even manage to hit 70m.

I'm not sure if he is serious?



They both will.

And isn't that more likely to attack dedicated handhelds....?

You predicted 15m vita's by Christmas.

 

But if you are trying to be sarcastic and witty. Try harder. Because the first half of what you were saying is half true, those devices are eating handheld marketshare. 

I think your sarcasm detector is broken mate. I predicted more than 105m for PS3. And I'm not talking about Vita or handheld market.

according to turkish, the ps3 will even reach 105 million before wii ;)



Both will because when the system dies it gets around a 10 million sales boost due to piracy. Expect to see a bunch more people buying PS3's and Xbox's to downgrade the to 3.55 firmware and to jtag them repectively. It happened with the Wii, DS, xbox, and PS2, when they died (funnily enough I only saw the PS1, Dreamcast, and PSP hacked during their generations (Never saw a hacked GC but I did have friends that used the dolphin emulator for it.)) Though I have seen the used market dramatically increase this gen so maybe the piracy boost will be smaller. Though both will definitely reach 80 million units sold due to the fact that people will buy when the 720 and PS4 are out because they are uninformed and want the cheaper option and/ or they just want a inexpensive video game console for themselves/kids/relatives/etc.

Plus the PS3 will have an easier time to meet that goal since the PS4 wont have the cell processor to play those games so more people will want to buy it.



don't waste time
