Well $399 is still a lot for a video games console, so it's interesting what happens when PS3 price reaches $299 (PS2 launch price).

 ps3 will sell more than 10 million a year, last year it sold 9 million and so far this year it is doubling over from last year. so by the end of 2008 ps3 total should be 15m+ for 2008. 2009 will be even higher!

 once the ps3 reaches that price it will fly off shelves! sony should wait till 2009 before cutting the price again.

 i mean on average for 2007-2017, i expect sales will be low in 2015-2017 (below 7.5m)

1) PS3 VG US numbers compared to PS3 NPD US numbers are lower like by 150k and NA numbers probably by 300-350k.

2008 LTD.

Platform  NA VG LTD Est
Wii 12,700,000
PS3 5,300,000
Xbox360 11,900,000

Scaling the Americas data(0.9 NA) down to predict the totals in NPD LTD gives the following estimates:

Platform US VG LTD Est
Wii  11,430,000
PS3 4,770,000
Xbox360 10,710,000

Platform  US NPD LTD Est
Wii  10,900,000
PS3  4,900,000
Xbox360 10,500,000
 
Platform US LTD Difference
 
Wii  +530,000
PS3  -130,000
Xbox360  +210,000

2) PS3 is getting more games, and has MORE value for 400$/Euro then x360 had one year ago at that price.)

3) Actual YTD sales of PS3 are around 5,5-6 mln. or avg. 1 mln. per month. PS3 will without problem make avg. 1 mln. per month next 6 months. Which will result in 12 mln. at minimum or 21 mln. by the end of the year. BUT, with Christmas boost it can sell additional 3-4 mln. which will result into 15-16 mln. PS3 or 24-25 mln. by the end of year. =)

 WTF? People (sort of) proved you wrong for using this exact argument in another thread, now you re-use it?

1) Look at FamourRingo's post (http://vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=1009490), it shows that the rest 6.5% the Ps3 would be "undertracked" compared to the others, in fact only is 100K, and that's the maximum.  

What I say there is partially wrong, but I'll see if this logic works on Crazzy (as it is far more similar to his).

2. Value for price isn't exactly the argument I'd use to favour the Ps3. The Ps3 isn't fighting last years' 360, it's fighting todays 360.

3. The average for Ps3 is currently at less than 900K/month, not 1M. Even if it's undertracked, it's still not above 920K/month. The boost could be 3M, making 4M in December (a 50% increase over last year), so you're correct there. The total would rather be 14M though, as the average is lower than you claim.

That would leave the Ps3 at roughly 23M, so that's nice.

yes, let's add another 300k to PS3 total...PS3: the only console that sells more to consumers than to retailers!
