I am pretty sure when most people referred to PS3 failing they were stating that the PS3 will never reach a dominate market position like they did the last two generations. Nintendo has taken its casual audience(except sports), and the 360 has taken its casual sports audience. You have 3 groups buying the PS3 now. 1. Sonyboys 2. Gamers who buy it for the PS brandname 3. People who want it for blu-ray/multimedia(have little affect on SW sales)



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

20k per week is quite good since there are no significant major software release for the past few months

^but it is 13k per week and falling.. PS2 never sold that low as far as I know(not counting 07, or 08)

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

13k is considerably lower than at this point last year, folks.

Whatever is driving PS3 sales in America right now isn't helping Japan at all and is only having a slight effect in Europe.

I would argue that Japan had decided on Blu Ray for a long time now and so the dropping of HD-DVD hasn't affected them too much. The same cannot be said about North America, however.



 

 

 

Well anyways It should reach 2 millions in Japan in a week or two.
