Forums - Sales Discussion - PS2 2001 sales numbers vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =)

Noobie on 01 March 2008

When do other think that PS2 will start winning in this comparison.. I think around the middle of April..

As hitting 16+ million in this year for PS3 is next to impossible.. I will really be impressed if PS3 even manages to come near 16million sold for 2008..

Btw a very good comparison..

I think around the middle of April..
When GTA4 comes? =))
And don`t forget about GT5P bundle + movie bundle in Europe. Haze release in May.
Jakuza 3, Armore Core:4A in March in Japan + platinum games WW.

I think it will be really interesting in next few month. =) Though March(when ps3 gets over 10 new games ww) will be hardest month for PS3 to compete with PS2 sales. 250k weekly won`t be the easiest achievement. =)



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

 Yes.  March is where PS3 will have its work cut out for it, vs. the March of PS2.  American sales just took off, from less than 80K a week to over 120K.

Fortunately for the PS3, PS2 sales started sliding downwards in April, and continued that way thru June. 



Torturing the numbers.  Hear them scream.

PS3 needs to rise in Japan in order to get 250.000 every week and this is not going to happen at least until end 2008. Of course GTA4 and MGS4 will give a help but only during some weeks

the silver model is gonna be released soon, so japan numbers should get a boost in the coming weeks.

i think that's why demand is so low right now... cause they're waiting for that new model.



Mars on 01 March 2008

So the gyst of it all is can PS3 do 16 million in 08 ?

It can and probably will if the right games come out this year.

If FF13nd GT5 hit Japan this year it will, MGS4 GTA4 Killzone2 Resistance2 will drive hardware plenty enough in NA and Europe.

Theres also a Wild card in LBP becoming Gran Turismo big.



darthdevidem01 on 01 March 2008

Yeah march will be hard

I say it again:

IF FF13 hits PS3 wil MATCH PS2's 2001 sales

If not it won't

I said Mid of April because i think PS2 is going will cover the deficiet of 100k in march and then in April it will go ahead...

But after seeing PS2 result of March i think it might overcome the 100k difference n 2 or atmost 3 weeks until or unless PS3 shows something unexpected in Japan in next three weeks.

I expect the PS2 to start winning in the next 2 or 3 weeks. After that it just depends on what week it is. During and after the launch of GTA4, I expect the PS3 to pull ahead. Then the PS2 got FFX, and so it'll pull ahead. At that point I expect the PS2 to pull farther ahead and never look back. PS2 2001 sales - 16 million. PS3 2008 sales - 11.4 million.
