Forums - Sales Discussion - Can the PS3 hit 14,000,000 by July?

By the end of the month, the PS3 will be at 11,000,000 consoles sold most likely. With MGS4,GTA4, and GT5P hitting before this summer (and possibly SOCOM ) does anyone else believe the PS3 will hit 14-15million by the end of the summer?

Keep in mind, between Dec 29, and now the PS3 has sold 1.8 million consoles WW. Thats almost 1,000,000 per month, however the Dec29 sales most likely throw off the new year sales quite a bit.  I think its very possible that it will hit this number by the end of June  lets make that July, lol. That would put the PS3 in a very good position to hit 20 million+ by the end of the year lifetime.

i think that t will come into the spectrum 13-15---depending on how GTA and a few others boost sales



 

It depends on software sales that boost hardware sales. If MGS 4, and GTA 4 sell and move systems yes. However, if the sell but don't move hardware then no.

If the sales keep leaning in the favour of the PS3 how they have done for the start of the year then probably but if they start to drop even to 100'000 a week then maybe not but if they stay at this comfortable 120 - 140k a week then it just might make your prediction.



End of 2014 Hardware Predictions (03/03/14)

PlayStation 4: 12-15million

Xbox One: 7-10 million

Wii U: 8-9 million (Changed 01/04/2014 from 7-9 --> 8-9 million)

With GTA the more I look at it, with such little advertising, the more I believe the 360 can only equal the PS3 sales boost, or slightly outdo it. Both will get boosts, but people who like the GTA were the same people who never warmed up to the 360.

I dont see it happening, unless Sony decides not to cut the price of the PS3. The 360 still needs to convince people who havent purchased that its better than the PS3 and its reliable. The burden is more so on the 360.

I see it all around in the US. People want the PS3 at the right price, and those people who dont care for shooters still see the Playstation brand as the only option. Either way the boost for the PS3 will be HUGE with GTA, GT5P in the library, and MGS4 right around the corner.

1.8/2.5months =720k, not almost 1mil



Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08.  Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)

Predictions:

Wii will sell 18-20mil by 12/31/07  CHECKWii will sell 45mil+ WW by 12/31/08Wii will surpass PS2 sales WW by 11/17/11 (5yr anniversary)Wii Fit will hit 12mil sales in 2009MKWii+SSBB+Wii Fit+SMG > 50 mil sales by 2010 > gta4+mgs+gt5+ff13+haze+lbp

It should be (at the worse if VGC doesnt adjust.) be at 11.32 end of this march. Begining of April - end of July = 16 weeks.

14-11.32=2.68

2.68/16=.167

An average of 167K a week is very plausible.
