You think that the PS3 will average 65k a week in NA?
HAHAHAHAHA. Come on now, its almost April, yet the PS3 is still selling 60k a week plus. There are huge releases upcoming, most likely a huge price drop, and increasing demand for Blu-Ray. It will have to average atleast 90-100k this year, unless something drastic happens.
end 2008

I wouldnt say maybe not, I would say its very likely though. Now that blu-ray has won against HD DVD it should help PS3 sales. Sony should advertise it more as the best blu-ray player you can buy, Im sure people would want it since its also a nex gen gaming system. 10 million is likely for the PS3 to be able to achieve in that region of the world, also I believe the PS3 can manage 15 million Life time sales in NA.

you do have a point there.
okay I think I'll say about 80,000 per week. So maybe more like summer '09.

Also take into consideration exclusives & Christmas sales don't make the dumb mistake of considering Jan/Feb sales as the years average
Quote ---> about X360, MS made a BIG anti-piracy system, it is called 3RLs, or RRoD. I know a bunch of ppl afraid to open a X360 and void warrant because they will need it...
April + May + June + July + August = 70k/week = 1,540,000
Sep + Oct = 100k/week = 900,000
Nov = 110k/week = 440,000
Dec = 250k/week = 1,250,000
4,130,000 (Total 8,430,000)
Then lets say it does 90k/week the first few months in 2009 and PS3 hits 10 million the week of April 13th, 2009
I'm a 360 fanboy, and I'm trying to be as fair as possible with these numbers.. but IMO (as MikeB would say) I don't think PS3 will hit 10 million till Sept 2009

You are both forgetting that the christmas season is responsible for something like 1/2 of retail games sales (in America).
right now it's at 65k per week. If it sustains that until U.S. thanskgiving (when xmas shopping begins) that will be 1/2 the total years sales. That's 8 months away. 32 weeks.
32 * 60k = 1920 k consoles
already sold up to march 3 =700k (pretty close to 60/week so far this year...)
total until start of xmas season = 2620k
Xmas adds another 2620k
Total sales for 2007 = 5240k (< - note that it averages around 100k/week)
Start of year 3600k
Total end of 2007 = 5240+3600= 8840k.
It will have a good year, but it won't break 10M. I don't even think a price drop would do it, they are well short.
