The previous preciditon from IDC was very accurate.

They just predicted wrong the HD balance os the sales (360 sell more and 360 less) but overall.

In the graph

PS3+360 = 110m+40m = 150m
Wii = 105m
Total hardware: 255m

Reality

PS3+360 = 77+76 = 153m
Wii = ~100m
Total hardware = ~253m

 

It's a pretty good 2007 prediction... on spot with Wii and just a wrong balance about the HD (360 + PS3)... five years old predicition.

That is a horrible prediction. There is a clear Sony bias and 360 couldnt be more wrong.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

It's an awful prediction seeing as it was made in 2008. They predicted 20m sales for the PS3 in 2009 alone, followed by 20m in 2010 and about 26m in 2011. Insanity.

It's not an awful predition for 2008... they just get the split between HD consoles wrong... the Wii is almost on spot and the total sales is too... the wrong part is the HD sales balance.

It's a amazing 2008 predition.... so accurate.

So you admit sales matter? Your DNA is taking control from the PS1 and PS2 forefathers?

Gonna take some games, melt them down to a liquid, and then inject them into your bloodstream so you can get high off of sales??? ;P

You see like you want to see but the prediction is accurate... a 2008 prediction where the only mistake is the balance between 360 and PS3.

I have to give my congratulations to IDC... fantastic prediction.

In 2012 360 is at 40 million while PS3 is at 105+

Ok......thats kinda a big mistake.

Why did you came here? Sales matter of course... I think you're confusing me with someone else.

Tokyo, November 16, 2012–Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) today announced that the cumulative sales of the PlayStation®3 (PS3®) computer entertainment system reached a milestone of 70 million units*1 worldwide as of November 4, 2012

http://scei.co.jp/corporate/release/121116_e.html

that was for a press release "after the Q2 just ended which was AT THE END OF sept! 

THEY POSTED THIS November 4, 2012 RIGHT?

What we do not know is this taking into account based on restock's added in or based on after the systems were already shipped ?

The fact is we do not know if sony is adding in the number's of system for restock before a new quarter or after the existing Quarter has already shipped their number's. what we do know is you cannot stuff the channel willy nilly and expect the retail chain to keep absorbing the number's if the systems are selling slower than they are selling through to the consumer.

and once again for say example: reorder's have to be in before say 3pm monday 3 weeks before black friday, just because one retail chain may do that not every retail chain will be doing that if say they still have enough stock to last over the sales week. that's something we really cannot account for.

that's what this does not tell you. Like i said just because the number get's posted on there, does not mean outright we know when the number's are over @ Sony accounted for internally until after it's posted is the only real way to know for sure

It's says right there that they sent out the press release on November 16th. Their shipped numbers were everything up until Nov. 4th, which would already seem to be gearing up for the holiday season. That is unless they wanted to wait until the last minute to get ready for the holiday shopping season (Black Friday was about 2 and half weeks away from that date.)

My bad just that outside vgchartz the PS3 fan consensus is that sales dont matter. Its literally a strict concentration on games, with no regards to sales.

I wish all PS3 fans were like you in this regard.

PS3 + 360 = 150m

Amazing prediction... I already said the only mistake is the balance of the HD consoles... they did an AMAZING prediction for the market grow and overall sales for Wii and HD consoles five years ago.

I'm surprised how accurate they are with that prediction.
