The beauty is that now the wheels really begin to fall off of this prediction being that the PS2 sold (roughly) 1 Million units in June, (roughly) 2 Million units in July, and (roughly) 1.5 Million units in August because it was finally not supply limited in North America and Europe and started to see the release of its big games. Being that the PS3 will (probably) only sell 2.5 to 3.0 Million units between June 1st and August 31st the PS3 is going to fall behind by millions ...

 Just wait until we do this same thread next year, 2008 is not really the same as 2001.  2009 is more like 2001, we have FF13 and GT5 next year and the price of the PS3 will be lower and near what the price of the PS2 was during 2001.  Next year will be when the Domination begins =)

@HappySqurriel, what???
PS2 sold 3 mln. 155k during June-August. =)
http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=America&cons2=PS2&reg2=Japan&cons3=PS2&reg3=All&start=37045&end=37136&weekly=1

PS3 in 13 weeks with regular 150k would reach 2 mln. in WORST case.
BUT, during those 13 weeks:

MGS4 is coming.
Siren remake is coming.
Tears of Tiara in Japan.
Afrika release in Japan.

+ different multiplatform games like:
SC4 is coming.
Battlefield: bad company is coming.

Practically MGS4 alone during those 3 months will sell additional 1 mln. PS3.

And in autumn many great games are coming, like LBP, Resistance 2, Socom, Motorstorm:Pacific Rift, Disgaea and Valkyrie Chronicles releases, New Naruto Game, maybe White Knight Story and etc. =)



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

After your failed predictions with Motorstorm, Lair, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted, Hotshot Golf, and Grand Theft Auto why should anyone look at your prediction for Metal Gear Solid 4 as anything except for a joke?

That is reporting material. Maybe I trolled first, but two wrong's don't make a right.

You have become trollish. Do that again and you will be reported.
