Forums - Sales - Which will happen first - PS3 @ 4 million, or Wii @ 10 million?

Trust me I read on a lot european forums .
that they feel f*cked over again by SCEE for not getting a price cut.
Next to that sony said at the end of year they will have an other announcement. Expect an other price break for the US and and the first one for the EU.

I believe it will be nintendo first but it will be close and the gap will widen largely as off september because of metroid prime 3.

It will absolutely be the PS3 to 4 million first. In fact, i wouldn't be shocked to see that happen within the next week for Sony. With the hot new rumor out that there won't be any more 60gb with EE being produced or sold in NA once stock runs out, it will most likely cause a huge rush for people to run out and get one before they are gone and the only option is the $599 80gb version with motorstorm. Then again, Sony could come out today and squash that rumor and set people straight on what the actual plan is.

 You seriously think PS3 will reach 4M in 1 week? That means it will need to sell around 270-280k in a week in the Americas, which is like 14 times as much as last week.



I'm going to say Wii.
But it will be close.

Well, right now, the Wii has just under 1 million to reach 10m, the PS3 though has approximately ~210k to go. (According to numbers that this site have reported as sold) I never said that it's a certainty that they will do it in one week, just that from what I have heard from those in the industry that it wouldn't shock me.  That would be close to 2 weeks of it being at the new lower price on the 60gb version. (it is friday and the news was released on Sunday/Monday so 5-6 days already and keep in mind I said within a week, not "in one week") That would be that they could achieve it just by averaging ~105k a week for the first 2 weeks of the the price cut.  

Of course the PS3 will sell many times more this week then it had the prior week (Before the price cut).  Except at launch, we had never seen the PS3 out of stock often, and many retailers are reporting that they are out of stock. (Primarily CC and Amazon)

How many do you honestly think that will sell for sony in a week?

let's say, wii reach 3M in japan before PS3 reach 1M
but PS3 reach 4M in the world before wii reach 10 M

Time to Work !

@jjseth
Actually, PS3 is at 3.69M at the main page, so that is still 310k to go and not 210k. For the coming week I can see PS3 getting somewhere between recent XBox 360 and Wii sales so anywhere from 40-70k. But considering Sony themselves are reporting double sales I think getting 50k for the week would be very nice already (since that is over 2.5 times the sales of last week already) That would put it at around 80k WW this week, which will only go down again from there unless some interesting software is released.

Well, I can't exactly see that video from work so I'll wait for confirmation from SCEA that is in printable form.

Looks to me like the PS3 will reach its milestone first. Not much of a consolation for anyone wishing it to finish first in any case. =/
