Considering, that PS2 sold 16 mln. in 2001, PS3 is still on track to reach 14-15 mln. in 2008. =)
I wonder how new 80GB model will do. It`s pretty popular on amazon. =]

^Really... it's already a million behind and the PS2 was just ramping up after being in short supply (you can't compare the current PS3 "shortage" to the PS2 one btw, as the PS3 had supply before it had a slight shortage)

14 million maybe, 15million - nope.

12-13 million is more likely

PS2 was monster in xmas. I doubt that even Wii can sell like PS2 in fall so forgot about PS3.



Onimusha12 on 26 August 2008

I love the OP basically stipulating if you are not already predisposed towards wanting to see everything as being in Sony's favor, leave.

Not to derail discussion, but I must inquire just how much longer into this generation we will see threads trying to reassure the worried Sony masses that the PS3 will be another PS2.



colonelstubbs on 26 August 2008

The PS3 is now being walloped by the PS2.

a lack of sales in Japan is hurting it



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

ROFLOL...you've got the perfect avatar name. This is analysis done in a complete vaccum of the the true landscape...but you said if you don't believe in PS3, leave, so I'm leaving, and I'll leave you to your pipe dream.
