Keep in mind, between Dec 29, and now the PS3 has sold 1.8 million consoles WW. Thats almost 1,000,000 per month.


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


Next time you pull a number like 2.5 out of your ass, can you see if my cat is up there too? Hes been missing a long time :'-(.

 

*whoops i mean my


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?


 73 days? WTF?

learn2math:

2 days in December

31 days in January

29 days in February

1 day in March

63 days (9 weeks) / 30 days a month = 2 months and 3 days. Pretty close to 2 months IMO ;)

Anyway, 1,756,200 consoles in 9 week is about 836k / month. Still not 1M/month but closer.

At this rate, from now until the end of July they will sell 4,180k consoles and that will put PS3 very close to 15M.

Where are people pulling these numbers from... what website are you all on?

last 8 weeks PS3 has sold:


ConsolePS3
Total
1,460,062


divide that by 8 and you come to an average of 183k per week... not 218k

How you managed to fit over 10 weeks into the span of Jan and Feb blows my mind friend. But hey, if Rath, savior of men who hide cats up there asses says there is 10 weeks and 3 days in Jan and Feb, it must be true.

Im sorry,really, ive gone over it a million times. Where exactly are you pulling 10 weeks and 3 days from?

Wait, wait I think I know, ill give you guys two guesses..... (LOL COME ON YOU GOTTA GET THIS ONE)

Up their asses?

it's definitely possible IMO.

Sigh. ok here we go.

PS3 needs 3.38 million to achieve this target.

If the OP means "by July" (as in the end of June) then the PS3 needs to average 199k per week, which is very unlikely to happen in my opinion.

If the OP means "by the end of July" then the PS3 only needs an average of 160k per week to reach 14 million, which is very likely... so it all boils down to what the OP meant by "by July" as to whether this will happen or not.

 

Here is my math... if I have put any numbers incorrectly then please inform me, but I think it is ok.

PS3 needs 3.38 million: 14 million minus 10.62 million = 3.38 million.

 

"by July" 17 weeks till 29th June... therefore 3.38/17 = 0.199 (or 199k)

"by the end of July" 21 weeks till 27th July.... therefore 3.38/21 = 0.161 (or 160k: I rounded down because there are still 4 days left of July after the 27th)
