Nintendo production, or something, is at least limiting sales to 800,000/month. There are over 1million PS3's sitting on shelves in NA. Sony expects to sell them all with the promotions they have going right now. If they sell the 1million they are aiming for in NA, and then they sell 100,000 in europe, and 100,000 in japan. That leaves the PS3 selling 1.2 million this july. Unless the nintendo pulls 400,000 extra Wii consoles out of a magical Wii spawning warehouse, They cant keep up. And Halo3, will definatly push the 360 up to 1-2 million for the month. Once agian, the Wii will still be limited to .8million. Then come the holiday season, the Wii is likely still to be 'chocked' at the .8 million area, and becuase of that, once agian, easy for the PS3/360 to outsell it, not becuase of more demand, but becuase of avalibality.


Do you really think that the PS3's sales are going to increase over 1,000% for a month after a 17% price reduction?

Seriously, the PS3 will probably sell 75,000 to 100,000 in its first week after the price reduction ... followed by 50,000 to 75,000 the second week and then return to (approximately) 25,000 units on the third week ...

The PS3 will never (EVER!!!) sell 1,000,000 units in a month in North America


Sure. :)

I'm going to agree with Happy Squirel and also vote Never. For the same reasons.

October 08 - between Halo and GTA and hopefully a price drop, it's the only reasonable time I can think of right now.

Do you mean October 2007?

June 2008, I don't think the 360 will take September, simply because it is hurt too much by the Japanese market. Even if it sells 100,000 more than Nintendo in the United States, it still loses that 100,000 in Japan.

Was I too vague? I'm predicting September 2007.

I imagine the PS3 might sell a million a month during the holiday season some year, assuming sales really improve generally. Even the Gamecube did that pretty late in its life, didn't it? No way it's ever happening on "regular" months though.

September is a good guess. So is December. I think that the 360 has a chance in December. I kinda want to change my guess but rules are rules. If it does overtake the Wii, it will be by supply constraints and short lived.

The Gamecube sold (roughly) 1 Million consoles per month in the holdiay 2001-2004 seasons but the PS3 is not selling as well as the Gamecube did ...
