Forums - Sony - My "John Lucas" prediction for the PlayStation 3!!

Jandre002 on 27 February 2008

7,000,000/ 44= 160,000. So the PS3 would need to average sales of 160,000 more than the 360 on a weekly basis worldwide.

Right now its at about 50,000 per week. Each one of the PS3's games should give it a pretty good boost, and price cuts.

Thats not that crazy. Towards the end of the year with price drops, if the difference stays the same thats very possible. Selling 160,000 per week more, with blu-ray buyers and fans of PS3 big games may push the PS3 to that level.

I'll keep the numbers in my sig. I did the same thing last year, I predicted in the early summer months, and kept it there throughout the year, but I will narrow it down, but it will be within the parameters I've already set.

Probably around sept/oct, it will be narrowed down.

2008 Year End Totals:  Wii - 36-40 million XBOX 360 - 22-24 million PS3 - 21-23 million

Proof that OkeyDokey is a lesbian!

 That's cool and all...and you might have a point....but let's not forget the issue at hand...

 

DmeisterJ does NOT think this will happen and this whole thread was a joke.

I lol'd.

This was a joke. I kinda thought that everyone would kind of see that. lol. That's why I put JLs name in the title. Everyone knows I think he's overrated, I thought it'd be obvious to see that this wasn't true. As many can see, my math didn't add up. lol.

I'm on my mobile so I can't post the "it's a trap" pic...


Obviously this joke was hard to get for people who don't know you. But at the same time this joke was hard to get for the people who do know you and your posting history...

So the clues were your John Lucas reference and horrible math? I guess most people assumed that you put John Lucas in the title, because you wanted to draw attention, nothing new for a thread title of yours. The math that didn't add up aren't a giveaway either, because in the past you wrote quite a lot of unedicated posts.

If this was always intended to be a joke post, you should have included a hint that clearly shows that it always was meant to be a joke. You know, better be safe, then sorry.


Sorry master... I know that you OWN the joke threads, and this one kinda failed.  I will try harder next time.

And you're only five or six hours too late.

But then you are slow... aren't you?  Sorry lol.

Hmmmm.....yes I fail to feel this desperation you allude to. Perhaps it's lurking in my subconscious?

Face it, you said here that you have no interest in the 360, yet just went into a thread about it and out of nowhere described me as a Fanboy. I might also point out that whilst you "almost never bash the 360," I NEVER bash the PS3, or any console.

I simply point out their faults and strengths amidst general sales discussion.

You behave like a fanboy. What did you expect?

7 Million is a huge number to make up ... if you assume standard boosts at the holiday season the PS3 would have to average a 90,000 unit lead per week over the XBox 360 outside of the holiday season in order to pass the XBox 360 by January 1st 2009. Being that the PS3 is falling short of this total, and will continue to fall short of this number for the rest of Q1 it is likely that they would need to outsell the XBox 360 by over 100,000 units from Q2 through Q4 inorder to meet this goal; on top of this it is very likely that the XBox 360 will see further price reductions, so the PS3 may have to boost sales from its current position by 125,000 (or more) per week inorder to maintain the necessary lead.

In other words its not going to happen ...

A much more realistic estimate would have the PS3 passing the XBox 360 between March 31st and September 31st 2009.


 This coming form the guy who said 360 would out sale PS3 2-1 in Europe xmas 07 (lol how wrong you where)

So the gyst of it all is IT will happen, juts go opposite of his negative anti PS3 views.
