Forums - Sony - Ps3 still get a chance at 100 million ?

so ps3 sold 3 million last year and weekly sales are consistently about 1/2 of what they were at this point last year. You still think it's gonna sell another 14.3 million? I'd really like for someone to break down those numbers and tell me how it's gonna sell each year to reach 100 million. The system is on it's last legs just face it. PS3 looked good until the PS4 came out and was so successful. The PS3 is old and last gen is long in the tooth.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Sorry but just because the Wii is dead doesn't mean the PS3 is too.


PS3 will never sell more than Wii. Period

So Sony can release a console if PS4 is about to be overtaken and will win because of that?  Just because one maker wants to move on doesn't stop their previous gen from existing lol.  Man if Nintendo had just released another console before PS4 overtook WiiU they would have won gen 8!


Wii > PS3. Simple like that

Oh yeah, but in the other comment you also talk about Wii VS PS3 VS 360. :D

Well, good luck with your bet!


In the other? Well, it's because it's still possible, just unlikely. PS2 sold 50M units after PS3 was released, while the PS1 sold almost 30M. As long as the device is sold for a long time, it's possible. Anyway, I don't think I'm gonna win that one, but if I do... it would be epic!

They don't seem interested in selling more PS3s (or Vitas..), no price changes, it's all about dat PS4 now.



Not even close.



I'm even doubting it will crack 90m at this point. Either way longevity is the only way it stands a chance of even seeing Wii on the horizon.

With slowing sales PS1 also had to cut its price to clearence-like pricing (MSRP $49/£49) to get it's last ~13 Million sold.  

Without it's official $49/£49 price points the PS1 likely would not have crossed the 100M mark before the end.



No, I don't think it will never pass 95m.
