Sony reports shipped, Dragon. Shipped, not sold.

Yes, this was back in Octobor 2007.

Do you people understand the concept of time?


Um, there is no way in hell 23 million PS2's have sold since October 2007.

 

5,860,681 sold according to VGC since the end of October 2007.

The PS2 hit 120 million back in 2007. 140 million is very likely.

 

Ok then, even if they "shipped" 120 million by October 2007 (plausible), they only shipped a total of 13.7 million the whole FY.  About 6 of that was prior to October meaning at most, they "shipped" an additional 7.7 million up until March 31, 2008.  Shipment forcast is 9 million for FY2009 meaning at most 750k more have shipped since then.

128.4 million using Sony's own numbers.

Scroll up, 140 million units is my prediction for the total eventual lifetime sales.

When I said total lifetime sales, I meant total lifetime sales period.

Not total lifetime to date.

Dragon007,

I think that if you posted how you thought the Nintendo DS would sell over the next 4 years people would understand your prediction better; in particular if you give reasons why the DS performed as you predict. Here is mine:

2008: ~30 Million systems sold, total sold ~100 Million
2009: ~25 Million systems sold, total sold ~125 Million
2010: ~20 Million systems sold, total sold ~145 Million
2011: ~10 Million systems sold, total sold ~155 Million
2012: ~5 Million systems sold, total sold ~160 Million
2013: ~5 Million systems sold, total sold ~160 Million

In my opinion, after the Nintendo DS hits 100 Million units sold it will become much more difficult to expand its market at the same rate it has been; the reason for this is that many of the people it will have to sell a system to will have never owned a handheld system before. At the end of 2010 Nintendo will release a new handheld system which will effectively put the Nintendo DS on its final legs and sales will be reduced to replacement systems, and as an inexpensive system to buy for your 6 year old child.

@Dragon007, okay I'll be here next March.
And on March 2010, we'll be looking at the best selling console of all times.
Too bad you can't see it, the rest of the sane people can.

Also PS2 hasnt sold 140 million you are just exaggerating by a little 20 million, but DS will sell far more than that. See you again March 2010.

You'l be disappointed. The DS won't be selling this well in 2010, the next-generation of handhelds will be out by then.

Bold: I'm predicting total lifetime sales of the PS2 since it's still selling fairly well.

I don't know if you're going by Vgchartz, but the PS2 hit 120 million a long long time ago.


 Nintendo handhelds last 7-9 years, so...



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I find your schedule for the DS to be extremely flawed.

First of all, there's no way it will hit 100 million so quickly.

It's currently on 72 million, it has another 28 million to go.

If it's going to hit 100 mill it will mid-late 09.

Also, 5 mill in 2013? I'm sorry but there's no way.

The original Gameboy and the GBA had great legs (but they still didn't reach PS2 sales mind you) but they had virtually no competition.

The DS will be pretty much non-existant by 2013.
