Theres still some guy saying the PS3 will be discontinued this summer.

I really dont know what they have against the PS3, its the best console sony has ever made, and thats saying something.

They are probably addicted to heroine and can't stop shooting up for a couple of weeks to afford the system. They are mad Sony doesn't support junkies habits.

that post was for people from last year who used to post Ps3 is doomed threads evey hour...

anyways on TOPIC:

I'll go on record to say MARCH WILL BE PS3's SLOWEST months of the year...yes thats right, SLOWEST!

 ah



This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*

Week              PS3
5-Jan            291,232
12-Jan          171,222
19-Jan          164,142
26-Jan          174,579
2-Feb           183,926
9-Feb           180,464
16-Feb         174,695
23-Feb          177,387

 

Its also looking like Week of March 1st will be around these numbers. 164k with EU and NA. Add in japan and should be about 175-180k. 

Except for Jan 5, amazingly steady! Courtesy of http://www.skyrender.net/2008_console_sales.txt. Check out the site, its real cool. Its VGC data, but in different forms.



That's pretty steady neddie.

That is pretty steady, but sales will undoubtedly decrease very soon.

 Why would sales decrease? PS3 has new releases in Yakuza in Japan, plus isnt this one of the slowest times of the year, surely sales are more likely to increase?

Hope that the PS3 can keep up with these sales for a while longer, just untill the 'big guns' are released and possibly a price cut, would just have to sit back and watch those numbers fly :D



In my opinion, the PS3's steady sales can be explained (in part) because the high price tag discourages any unplanned purchase of the system. At $400/$500 your typical consumer is not going to be as motivated to buy a system because an interesting game was released (or to buy a system because they feel like it) as they would be if the system was $200 or less.

not it won't you troll SOB. This is sales with no recent good games, last good one being DMC4 on Feb 5th or so.

They will only get better with GTA4, Haze, and more.



Unless we see a price drop in the upcoming months PS3 sales will go down hill, that's my opinion, take it or leave it, I don't care, I just want a big price drop so I can buy one.
