I think it is very possible, if the PS3 gets the expected harware boost that should be associated with such high profile releases! :D

maby with mgs 4 anything is possible.

I will be just PHENOMENAL if PS3 does this...it will be ina very stron position then for the 20 million & a price cut near xmas will boost numbers to 20 - 22 million...

 Wait. 73 days (I think thats the number since Dec 29), divided by 30 (average number of days in a month) = 2.43. 

Thats closer to 2.5 than the PS3 is to 1M a month. 

Next time you be ridiculously sarcastic can you make sure you're not looking like a moron at the same time? 

If you mean by the end of July then very likely yes... if you actually mean by July (as in by the time July has started) then I doubt it very much as it would need an average of well over 200k per week.

@rath

+1 for you

Oh VGC reported weeks since 29th December is 9 weeks, which is very near to 2 months.

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 05th Jan 2008 to 01st Mar 2008: (this is 9 weeks/or 63 days or just over 2 months)

However using the early January weeks in a calculation for what PS3 is doing now is not very accurate, because the average per week according to the last 9 weeks is 195k, which is higher than what it is doing now (and likely higher than all but 4 or 5 weeks [launches of GTA and GT5P/MGS4] between now and July)

To go back to my first post... if you actually mean "by July" then you mean before July starts, and I doubt it will make 14 million by then.

@TWrOo

good find....so the OP was making some sense..

+1 to you

-0.5 to Rath

I count 63 days. Divide that by 30 and you have 2.1 Where do people get their numbers from damn. You can't count March 2 - now until they update their numbers. And that will be to March 8th. (70 days aka 2.33 months. Still not 2.5) Next time you try to prove someone wrong make sure you're not looking like a moron.

over the last 8 weeks the average has been ~218k/wk

there are 22 weeks left till august starts. So 10.62 + (0.218 * 22) = 15.43m

however, it really only needs 3.38m from now to reach 14m, so we get ~153k/wk needed to reach it by the end of July. Since even last week the PS3 beat that number, odds are the boosts from the games, will offset the dips from summer enough to sustain that average.

So yes I think it will make it, with a minimum of at least 13.3 by the end of July (worst case) but probably landing right at or above 14m
