Forums - Sales - Sony/Microsoft extremist: Do you still think 360 and PS3 can pass Wii in lifetime sales?

Nope.

C´mon... I know we´re on a sales website etc, but it´s like beating dead horses.. This generation is over, close the hatch..



The PS3 has a chance if Sony starts doing regular price drops. It's much more expensive than the PS2 was at the same point and time.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I never expected either of them to pass the Wii.

PS3 = Maybe.
Xbox 360 = Nope.
There is a chance that both might moss 100m mark.

I still think the PS3 has a chance to reach 100 million lifetime.
I think the PS3 has a chance to reach 90m lifetime.

If we look at the PS2 and compare with its lifetime, then the PS3 would have 3 more year on the market or so. If I am correct?

And let's say that the PS3 will only sell 50 000/week from here on, that's 200 000/month. And the months of November and December are always about +50%(or more) in sale. So that would mean 200 000/month for 10 month in a year and let's say it makes 1 million in total for both November and December. I think this is fair.

This would give us 200k x 10 = 6m + 500k x 2 = 7m
And then take 7m x 3(years) = 21m
This would give us 200k x 10 x 6 = 6m + 500k x 2 x 3 = 9m

So 21m + the current 81 million gives us 102m consoles lifetime.
So 9m + the current 81 million gives us 90m consoles lifetime.

So I do think it's possible. But, and a big but. This depends on so many factors.

This would mean that the PS3 would have to live on for another 3 years. This would also mean that the PS3 would have reasonable price cuts to keep it attractive for all three years. This would also mean that Sony would have to push games for this system to make it attractive, too, not only third party crap-ware. And probably many other reasons.

If they can live up to this, then yes, the PS3 will continue to sell and can absolutely achieve 100 million.

This will absolutely be interesting to see in three years, what did happen and what not.

About the X360, no, I don't think so. :( Because I think that Japan+Europe+Others is what will matter the most here.

EDIT: I hope I cleared out all my misstakes. :'(



PS3 has a slight chance, 360 idk probably not.

It depends what levels they will be at by the end of 2014, when eventual pricecuts have hit.

When we see how they do at lower prices, we will be able to determine the outcome. Its not looking likely with current figures, but who knows what the future could hold with $100 cuts, value bundles and continued expansion in new markets.

At current rate no. And I think the ps360 have been out for so long that a price cut isn't going to do it. I beleive those who wanted one have one, for the most part. Of course, I could be completely wrong...

And carl, you have the best avatar pics.. Love them!

200k per month isn't 6 million in ten months... It's 2 million.  So 2 mil + 1 mil for holidays =3 million. 7 years for 21 million.... No.
