Considering, that there were many people predicting 19 mln. LTD by the end of 2008.. yeah, prediction falls, but not mine. =))

Anyway, 15 mln. per year is a bad number or 14 mln. per year is a bad number? =)) It still almost 2 times more, then x360 did on it`s 2nd year. =]

It`s ONLY 1 mln. behind from 16 mln. total.
And that is after selling for 8 months.


@Groucho, READ the 1st post and you will find why. =)

 

 How does it fall? we still have the holiday sales witch will be big.

*facepalm*  How you can still be so ignorant after getting repeatedly owned in this topic is beyond me.

The PS3 is behind the PS2 by 1 million in this analysis after 8 months.  However, holiday sales always count for a huge portion of sales and the PS2 2001 holiday was insane.  The PS3 has no chance of staying within 1 million by year's end.

Personally, I'd be surprised if the gap was under 2.5 million by the time the holidays finish.

And as far as people predicting 19 million and "failing", they'll still be far closer than your 25 million by the end of '08 prediction.  Can't wait to see your '09 predictions.  Something tells me you won't have learned a lesson and are going to predict the PS3 to hit 60 million by the end of '09.

This is a PS3 vs PS2 thread, not a PS3 vs X360 thread.  If you can't keep the X360 out of it, just leave the thread.

If he'd said the Wii, you wouldn't have responded like this. Correct?

 Again.....so what even if that does happen? the ps3 is still selling. i dont know why crazzyman made this thread compairing ps2 and ps3, this is a whole new generation. we shouldn't be looking ps3 numbers vs ps2 cause just as soon as something doesn't look good its OMG look the ps3 is off by 2 million this year it over!......try compairing the 360 to ps2 sales numbers and see how bad that looks.....we shouldn't be doing that. or we could do that if we want but dont make it look like the other console is a failure.

Sarcasm? If so, that was very good.

What that is actually a nice thread (well the first page). It's kind of funny to see the evolution especially how on GTA and MSG the PS3 came back to PS2's numbers. But then this summer is massive fail it seems ^^

Yea, i'm not discounting the PS3's accomplishments or calling it a failure.  I'm just pointing out where Crazzy is wrong.  He's the one who made this thread to compare it to the PS2.  When it couldn't live up to such high standards i'm going to call him out on it.

If some 360 fanboy made a thread about the 360 2008 sales vs. PS2 2001 sales i'd call them out on it also.
