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

CrazzyMan on 07 November 2008

@koffieboon, NEW model =/= pricecut.
If Gamespot are stupid, then it`s their problem(well, they were biased by that time).

Otherwise, x360 20GB which was selling for 270$, got price up, since 60Gb version was selling at 300$, LoL.

Again:
PS3 (NA+EU) sales in 2008 = PS2 (NA+EU) sales in 2001

That isn't a 1 week thing, that is a trend.
YEAH, in JAPAN PS3 wasn`t doing good compared to PS2 WHOLE YEAR.
That is a TREND, INDEED,
AND that`s why i wrote about Japan apart from NA+EU, since that Japan Trend has chances to change in better way for PS3.
JUST like US+EU trend may change in worse way for PS3 during last 10 weeks of 2008.

Now, to be clear:

PS3 in 2008 is not doing WW as good(equal WW) as PS2 in 2001, because of poor sales in JAPAN only, while EU and NA sales COMPENSATE each other.



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.

Crazzy, chanting your "MAIN POINT" all the time can't make this thread more USEFULL.

I could go outside and throw a rock at nothing in particular and say that I wanted to "see what would happen",... it's still a pointless excercise that didn't gain anybody anything.



CrazzyMan on 07 November 2008

@TWRoO,
I was interested in
how far/close will PS3 be in 2008 compared to PS2 with it`s 16 mln. consoles sold in 2001.

Since in MY OPINION,
2000 PS2 = 2007 PS3 - 1st YEAR.
2001 PS2 = 2008 PS3 - 2nd YEAR.

+ i can find MANY quotes of people in THIS thread, which were ALSO interested.

Now, You can LEAVE, if YOU are not interested. :)

Wait. So what was 2006 for the PS3?



CrazzyMan on 07 November 2008

@Khuutra,
1,5 month of 2006 were included to 1st YEAR of PS3 life, since it`s only 1,5 month.

PS2 launched in March 2000. Was selling for 10 months.
PS3 launched in November 2006. Was selling for 1,5 month.

10 months of 2000 close to 1 year? YES.
1,5 month of 2006 close to 1 year? NO.
12 months of 2007 close to 1 year? YES.

Overall:
2000 PS2 = 2007 PS3 - 1st YEAR.
2001 PS2 = 2008 PS3 - 2nd YEAR.
Oh, and that is MY OPINION.

and p.s. *THE MAIN POINT of THIS THREAD - is to SEE how far/close will PS3 be in 2008 compared to PS2 with it`s 16 mln. consoles sold in 2001.

Khuutra on 07 November 2008

Crazzy, stop saying opinion. That's not an opinion. That's a set of criteria. You should be saying

"That is MY CRITERIA"

Opinion is not some kind of magic umbrella term



CrazzyMan on 07 November 2008

@Khuutra, well whatever you call it, even cherry picking.
overall i EXPLAINED why i took those time periods. =)

Oh, nobody is disputing that, Crazzy. OUR point is that you've attached some fanatical meaning behind the correlation. A meaning that does not have logic.
