@dtewi,

20.000.000 at 250$ ======)))))))))))))).
21 000 000 PS2 at 299$.
A 50K bump at the most. Also does this sound familiar.
Let`s think:1 game - 50k. 10 games - 500k, 20 games - 1 mln.
And that is only ONE WEEK boost.
Every game wil ADD 1-3k for weekly sales after it`s release.
20 Games - +20-60k weekly.
Why do you think PS3 outsold x360 in Decemeber? Because of Uncharted, Rathcet, Heavenly Sword, Folklore, UT3, Warhawk and etc.

@azrm2k,
You will quote one line I said and ignore all other information I posted.
80-90% of the PS2 userbase didn't play those games.
Ok, then YES THEY DID. 20% of them played GT, 10% FF, 5% MGS, 3% Tekken, 3% RE4 and etc. TOTAL 80-90%.
Well if we can't prove that the fans of that series had the loyalty to pick the next version how can you assume they'll buy a new console for the next version?
Gran turismo 5 WILL BUY NOT only GT fans OR you CAN`T assume that?

@HappySqurriel,
If you noticed, when I pointed out that Gamers didn't choose the most powerful system I used games as my reason!
And who wouldn`t buy PS3 for 199$ to play such gorgeousness? =)) AND that is only 2nd year life PS3 games. What will be there in 2009-2012 do you know? =))
gow2 is AWESOME game and came only in 2007 or only after 7 years since PS2 launch. FFXII was also awesome game for many people, came only after 6 years.



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.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

I think it's feasible for Sony to achieve 100Million PS3's, after all Sony did say that the PS3 was going to have a life of 10 years.



It's like shouting at a wall...

Games don't work like that. 1 game making a 50K bump, 2 games would make a 65K bump. You don't double! You just multiply by 5-10%! 10 games would have a 200K bump, but do you see a week with 20 amazing games?

How about the people who would rather spend $100 to play games like Dance Dance Revolution, which they actually enjoy playing?

The thing that you (and many Sony fans) don't seem to get is that the majority of game sales are bought because people already owned the system the games were released on. If you have 40 Million gamers who bought one of your "PS3 saving" games in the past, it is likely that less than 10 Million would buy a videogame system to play them again (and most of those gamers will not spend more than $200 on that system).

Most gamers who end up buying a Wii or XBox 360 will buy a worse looking (potentially worse playing) game than buy your system saving PS3 game regardless of how good it looks.



See when I hit my head against a brick wall I get hurt, recoil, and repeat.
When I try to argue with Crazzy's logic I get hurt, recoil at which point he throws another brick at me with a "=)" written on it, and repeat. Enough's enough.

Screw it i'm out.



1/2 his arguements end with you can't prove it and this one will too.

What most fail to understand is how many ps2's each consumer bought.

I had to buy 2 and I knew many ppl who bought 3 because ps2 was an absolute fragile device.

So the numbers for ps2 are inflated by atleast 1.5x IMO

Since I bought 3 (two slims, one big) i've always wondered how many of those ps2 units were replacement systems.

 Sony did sell 6 million, some people in this word have 2 jobs and some even 3, and I don't believe their will ever be a second coming of Jesus because for me their never was a 1st.

 think about this, if the PS3 on average sold 10 million world wide every year, then it would take 10 years to achieve 100 million, Sony claimed that the PS3 would be around for 10 years and who's to say it won't, I mean the PS1 lasted for 10 years before they stoped making it, the PS2 right now is 8 years old and it's heading for 10, this is why I said it was feasible.
