How are those PS3 numbers remotely possible? What are you expecting to cause the sudden upswing in sales

?

 

Upswing? I'm expecting legs, you know like EVERY other PS console has done..

105 million is a bold prediction man. If the ps3 gets to 100 million, it's going to be a crawl past it. 105 million is 20 million more sales thought. I'm guessing that it will sell for maybe 3 more years, and I'd say 3 is omptimistic honestly. So with 3 years, the ps4 would need to sell 6.7 million units a year, or average at 555,000 a month. From July last year to June this year, the ps3 has sold 6,086,362. So this last year, it's not even performing to the necessary numbers to sell the near 7 million it would need, and I think we can all agree that this year is going to have better sales than the rest of its lifetime. So my guess is the the ps3 will sell 3-5 million a year for the next three year, putting the rest of it's sale somewhere between 9-15 million. So my guess is the it's going to have a life time sales somewhere in the range of 93-99million.

Why do you think the 360 can overtake the ps3?

it is since the 2009 the ps3 is selling better than the 360 yearly,also the 360's support pratically died in 2012...

maybe you think the ps4 will lead so strongly to put the ps3 in a corner after the end of this year,or something like that....


Sorta. I believe that Sony will be putting more effort into advertising the PS4 and cut PS3 short. They will still ship units for a while, but small shipments. IIRC, Sony said the PS4 would be more profitable than the PS2, so they would want to stop manufacturing the product that is very hard to profit off of.

360 will still be kicking for a while in America and UK, and MS sorta needs it too for a bit. If they can't sell that many Xbox Ones, they can still supply consumers with the 360 until consumers feel that the One is the better console to go to (sorta like how PS2 was eating away PS3 sales early on).



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

My predictions for 7th gen are...

Wii- 101.7

PS3-92.3

XBox 360- 90

I believe that's reasonable and plausible. As big of a Sony fan as I am...I don't see PS3 hitting 100 million at all. The Wii has won in sales for 7th gen.
