Forums - Sales - PS3 to sell 6.9 million in OTHERS alone in 2008

Haha yeah. It will sell that many easily with blu-ray and little big planet.

I think a lot of people saying it wont are shell shocked looking at just how well the PS3 has sold this year.

The PS3 has already sold almost double what it did last year at this point, and I see no signs of it slowing down. 15 million total for the year seems pretty likely, unless someone else has reasons stating why this trend will suddenly fall off?

 

VGChartz has the PS3 selling 6 million units in the first 8 months of this year. Last holiday season (November and December), the PS3 sold 3.5million units and the Wii sold 6 million units. The PS3 would be very lucky to see 5 million sales during the holidays this year considering past data. 4 million at best. That means, to reach 15 million, Sony would have to sell 5 million PS3s in September and October combined. Not gonna happen. 



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.

Don't know, couldn't really care less.

 

 Oh, nice contribution then. Really Bravo. Why even waste our time?

Anyways, @ OP, it will happen for reasons already stated.



̶3̶R̶D̶   2ND! Place has never been so sweet.


Although I really don't get the PS2 comparison, it is very likely the PS3 will sell that much imo



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

So Wii will sell arounf 12 mil. Gotcha! :)



uhmm

7 million (europe) + 5 million (americas) + 1.5 million (japan) = 13.5 million worldwide

ok i have been doing monthly sales comparisons of the ps2 2001 vs ps3 2008 in others. The ps2 sold 5,635,965 units through 2001 in total others alone. and i think the ps3 can beat that,

Crazzyman, is that you?

PS2 launched in Nov 2000.
PS3 launched in March 2007.

You are comparing 13 months of PS2 sales with 22 months of PS3 sales.

 



The rEVOLution is not being televised

no chance



My guess total will be between 6-6.5 million. WW total 22.1
Considering the ps2 numbers : the ps2 was the only console worthy of buying at the time.



i would have put my prediction a little higher but i think its best i keep it like this just to be on the safe side



FIRST JAPAN 6.66
NOW PS3 6.9

SALES ARE TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING

BUT WHAT
