Forums - Sales - I Believe PS3 Will Be The Number One Console This Gen With 115 Million Shipped. And You? (Sales > My Prediction Right Now)

Tagged games:

Looking initially at the figures it seems you haven't factored in enough decline ethomaz as Superchunk showed although I think he low balled it. I'd say it's looking likely to be around 5 million up from his prediction but I'll try and put some figures together at some point rather than just bash yours.



Around the Network

Possibly. If it cannibalizes PS4 sales.



Wii won this generation. Sales will continue to decline heading into next year, and Sony will be lucky to get to 85 million.



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD

I think 90 million is perhaps a reachable number

ps3 started with a very high price
if I had started with the current price wiiu not know where it could have come



It won't reach 115mil shipped. Odds are next year it'll ship around 9-10mil, then 6mil, then 4mil, and then only a few more after this. 93-96mil is the most likely outcome. People think it will be like the PS2 when it really won't have that sort of selling power; come next year it will be all about WiiU, 720 and PS4.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Im waiting to see if wonderbook explodes with the casual crowd. Its very appealing to children, here in Australia the ads are amazing for it, just depends if Sony can get the word out.



Should scrape a 100 million in 4 years or so.



Seems a bit to much, I think 100m is what it will get to. Im quite sure It will beat the 360 once the gen has come to a close.

I can picture Ethomaz now.... he has just run the Euro numbers and he is thinking... "oh shit!"

Nooooooooooooooooo... I just finished my job now... so I will check the numbers


So you did run the numbers and think "oh shit". You reduced the euro numbers massively. So now your total needs "others" numbers to sell double what it has sold there so far.

You went from this:

Europe: Like you pointed out the PS3 is ready to outsell Wii in the next year (maybe 2014) but that's a future fact... only the end of the world could stop that to happen.

My lifetime prediction (2016): 47 million

to this within a few hours:

2016 2,300,000 43,300,000  

 

 

and now you have rest of the world needing 24m, these currently stand at 8.5m.

 

perhaps he hopes for china to go wild about ps3 like others did? :D

Lucky? it would be very unlucky if it didn't make past 85 million, and you can't win a generation until all consoles of that gen have stopped selling. We didn't just stop tracking the wii once the WiiU came out.
