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

CrazzyMan on 05 July 2008

Yeah, we will see who will laugh last. =))

PS3 will sell around 3million units in others alone in december 2008 

With a PRICECUT this autumn, PS3 is going to have not less phenomenal Christmas in 2008, since PS2 was whole year selling at 299$/euro, while PS3 will definitely have posssible 299$/euro or 349$/euro price this autumn. That price will SPIKE ps3 sales by A LOT. ;)

but it would be more fair to do this seperate by region
WHY it would be fair to compare for example 25th month of PS2 sales in Japan(April2002) with 25th month of PS3 sales in Japan(December2008) - HOW that is FAIR? :)

It DOESN`T matter was console supply constrained or NOT. ONLY SALES matter. Or should i ask, why does it matter?



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.

There does not appear to be that miracle price cut in the offing.

Even without it, it is even money whether or not Sony's game division makes money, based on its own predictions, if I recall correctly.  With a price cut, it drowns in a sea of red ink -- and stockholders are tired of that.

Don't worry. In Ten Weeks all will be right.

He has not responded to my arguement in full force so I guess we can conclude he has lost that arguement!

You are banned (again) so you can't reply yet, but I can answer you anyway. @ First half. I can't believe you put a link to that thread as evidence that PS3 is going to sell well.... That thread had less logical comparisons than this one and tbh if you had read the replies you would (or should) have understood how silly that prediction is. @ 2nd half. I guess you didn't understand. My example for your comparison was not to compare 25th month to 25th month etc... it was still keeping the calendar aligned. I suggested this: PS2 (Jpn 2001) PS3 (Jpn 2007) + PS2 (Am 2001) PS3 (Am 2007) + PS2 (Eur/oth 2001) PS3 (Eur/oth 2008) This would still be very slightly biased in PS3s favor because of poor PS2 supply in America/Europe 2001... but it is not as biased as your current plan.

It would be interesting to break this down by region as well.
Probably be:
Other PS3 > PS2
Japan PS2 > PS3
America PS3 = PS2

There is a chart on this site that can show you what it would look like. Currently it is PS2 > PS3 in every region. The only way you can really compare them favorably is to ignore the staggered launch of the PS2.

Yeah I forgot about the inconsistent launch ^^ Forget it

Latest chart...

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=All&cons2=PS3&reg2=All&cons3=X360&reg3=------&weeks=101

Let's see if it keeps it up through this Holiday season. That's when PS2 really picked up in sales.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

HanzoTheRazor on 09 July 2008

2009 will be by far the PS3's best year till then. Yes, it will be hard for it to beat PS2's total sales in the end, but I honestly do not think it will be far off them.

The next Xbox released will only boost the PS3's sales, [will cost more and every developer will be in PS3 over drive]. The Wii should be way quieter by then too, as both Sony and Microsoft will lower prices and most likely have sensor controls as well.

I must admit, I love Nintendo, but refuse to buy 3rd party games for my Wii, due to how bad they are! So, with so many beautiful looking killer AAA titles pouring forth on both the PS3 and what ever MS has, + the above things mentioned, do u think Nintendo domination will continue?

Nearly everyone I know or speak to are waiting to get a PS3, waiting on games being the No:1 reason and price being the second factor. These 2 things will definitley change.

Also, if we have learnt anything from being gamers, that ANYTHING could happen.
