I can't believe that people actually buy this "10 year plan" hooplah.
Sony will keep the console around as long as it is profitable. If the PS2 did 2 million units, Sony probably would've thrown it under the bus just as fast as Microsoft did with the XBox, and moved onto the next system.
LOL the way Sony is going, they'll keep consoles alive for 2 generations if they have to. The question is...if they are going to do this...then whats the use for a new one? More disposable resources.
I am thinking that the PS3 will sell 30-55 Million this gen. There is NO way its getting to 150M
hey I remember this thread....I still think it'll be pretty damn close
why not its bery possible so we have to put the wii at 250 millions LTD lol

I just had to comment on this.
Titanic and The Dark Knight never had the same trend or pattern.
Movies that have trended like The Titanic are movies like My Big Fat Greek Wedding(500K OW and 220million final total).
Titanic opened to 28 million and maintained low single digit drops and even quite a few bumps that were as high as 23% above teh previous weekend and did so for an extend period of time to get a 600 million dollar finish.
The Dark Knight trended almost perfectly as very well accepted blockbuster. Opening with a record weekend(158 million) and then dropping in 50-40% percent range each weekend finally movng in to the sub 10 million dollar weekend trend with 30-40% drops. It was actually quite predictable.
The Dark Knight could of easily ended up on the lower end of the scale like Spiderman 3 did opening to 151 million and ending up with 330 million. Spiderman 3 performed on the lower end of the blockbuster curve.
This of course does not figure in the average length a film runs and the effect of rushing movies to Home theater effectively chopping of legs and forcing BB style films.(Legs on films decrease each year even as revenue goes up adn admissions float around the same number).
