thanks for the nice list :)

right now it seems possible for the PS3 to beat the first year 2:1, but ofcourse it will be hard to keep the current ratio (it's at ~2.57:1 at this point) in the next weeks, for european launch made quite a big spike last year

I think there is a good possibility for the PS3 to end up at 2:1 or better though, because there still are many very big game releases this year.

 The Blu-ray victory, lower price, and a few good game launches might do the trick, but it will defiantly be tough.

But, I think for the total ear we will see better than 2:1 (Not 3:1, but between), I mean if its held up this well during the dry season, imagine when the floods come.

It will certainly be 1.5 x better than last year, which would leave it on about 21/22mm

Is that going off of data that is there already or are you taking into consideration games and price cut?


 In 2007 it sold 8m roughly, and I am guessing that sales will be much better, but of course price drops and better software will help

Rol I believe you've been proved wrong.

What did Rol predict?


I'm sure Rol's trademark prediction is just a joke. Rol claims that 2007 would be the Playstation 3's best year throughout it's entire life spand. This conclusion, I assume, is based on the past history of losing systems. In past generations, the losing console would start out decently then lose ground in it's later years. In some cases, like with the GameCube and PS3, the losing console even starts off bad and continues to do so. The GameCube sold 6m units in it's first year; this was even done with a late launch in Others. However, the consoles second year paints a different picture all together. Although the GameCube has a full year in Others during it's second year, the consoles sells dropped off signifigantly. The consoles sold 5m units worldwide, which pales in comparison to it's first year numbers.

There have been times were the PS3 has tracked below the GameCube in both Japan and America. Right now is a good example, as the PS3 is tracking slightly below the Gamecube in Japan, and it's selling around the same in America. Therefore, it can be said that the PS3 is the GameCube of this generation. That would mean the PS3's growth will be limited. This is were Rol gets the idea that '07 will be the PS3's best year. His prediction is valid, but it's flawed as well.

You know how Rol is, though. I'm not sure if it's a joke prediction or if he's acualy serious.

If you need to look busy at work again, I'm sure we'd love to see one of your fancy charts with Wii and 360 numbers too. Good work.

I believe it would classify as "ill"

 But, wow, what a massive holiday season, and all that without any true AAA games (other than Uncharted) during the holiday season. Just imagine what Sony can do if they can have both KZ2 and R2 out in US. 

 And imagine if they can also get FFXIII out in Japan?

I know a bunch (4 or 5) people who are waiting for one of three things. An upcomming game (GTA4/GT5/MGS4/FF13), when school gets out, or a price drop. I can see sales being major this year.
