Thanks for bringing back one of the classics.


one of my favorites.

My memory might be a bit foggy, but wasn't there a point where we were moderating users for saying "Statistical tie"?

Indeed there was. That's why I came up with that as a replacement. It was more humorous, more refreshing than seeing the words "statistical" and "tie", and still served the purpose of the original diction.  

I liked those days.

PS3 and 360's sales will erode quickly (they are already eroding) once their successors are announced which could be at E3 or earlier and will drop right off once next gen systems are out. Especially if the 720 is $99 or $199 (with 3yr contract).

PS3 will have better afterlife than 360 because Sony is much better established in developing countries but unless Sony allows the PS3 to be cracked wide open for piracy, it won't come close to PS2 sales in those markets.

Well I think the Wii will end up selling about 105 million lifetime. So the 360 has no chance to pass the wii. If the nextbox releases in late 2013, I think the 360s lifetime sales will be about 80 million. If the nextbox isn't released until 2014, the 360 might approach 85-90 million. The PS3 also has little chance of passing the Wii. If Sony releases the PS4 within the next year or two, and drops support for the PS3, it might make around 85 million. But if Sony keeps supporting the PS3 for years later, it might be able to reach 95 or even 100 million units sold. Still though, not passing the wii.

360 is already at 74.2m, so you think it will only sell 5.8m more if a 720 releases this year? I give it 13m at least.


That's true. Ok your right it will probably reach at least 85 million



Playing Xenoblade 2 before I buy Xenoblade 3 (otherwise I couldn't wait to play 3).

Can they announce a new Fire Emblem? A remake of Genealogy or Tellius would suffice !

Yes... PS3 will sell over 110 million this gen.

No chance whatsoever.

That already a fact... quote me after 2016 please.

You should look up the word "fact".

maybe he is from the future and knows it will happen, so it actually is a fact, but we still dont know it?

See my sig, I called it 4 years ago



All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion 

 Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

You honestly believe that PS3 will sell nearly 40 million MORE units (roughly 1/3rd of PS3 total sales) after it is over 6 years old?

And what are all these games coming over during 2013 and beyond that will push these 40 million additional units? I don't see too many PS3 games coming out aside from GTAV this year.

Are you sure this is what you actually think will happen and not just what you wish would happen?

Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed...other 3rd party games. The stuff that has always sold Playstation consoles. Other than that there is God of War, The Last of Us, Beyond, Ni no Kuni as some exclusive examples. PS3 is going to keep selling mostly based on existing library though, as we see new games don't boost sales much anymore.

If Wii's existing libray doesn't sell Wii anymore, (games that have sold 10-20 million), why should PS3's games continue to sell it for years? PS3 still puts up decent numbers because third parties are still cranking out games for it to a large extent. But that can't last much longer as we are now moving on the the next gen and Sony will probably have the PS4 released by 2014 at the latest.

Well PS1's and PS2's games sold them for years , maybe the PS3's games can do the same
