Forums - Sony Discussion - I don't think the PS3 can hit middle-high 5 mil consoles by the end of the year....

Its about to hit the 4 million mark by early august, the ps3's are selling good at NA, and is starting to sell beter in europe, and even in japan. at least 7 million is my opinion. And the 360 will stay at aroun 12 million.

Soriku, at this point I think you should lay down your weapons. You got 3 soldiers attacking you and we've got twice the firepower you do.

I mean the killer AAA games for the PS3 are out in 2008 and the 2 big ones for this year, Warhawk and Lair are coming out next month! Anyway, there is NO chance 2 games will sell a million. No, a bunch of people WITH PS3s will buy then, FEW will buy a game for them. Heck, by the time they come out the PS3 might just be STARTING 4 mil console or are about to start (I get prediction from weekly sales). By year's end it won't sell 8 mil, or 7 mil, and I doubt 6 mil. Look at how long the PS3s been in 3 mil. MONTHS. Don't expect 6-8 mil. Expect a solid 4.9-5.5 if they're lucky. Please next year don't say "LAWLZ, FF XIII AND MGS4 WILL SELL 13 MIL CONSOLES TO KETCHUP WITH WII!11!!bbq!11! cause that won't happen. WKS might not help MUCH either (to sell PS3s). The OTHER games like SC IV, GTA4 (or is it 5? I forgot lol.), etc. I didn't count cause they're going to 360 too >_> Now I want your, honest, honest opinion on this. And if you're gonna act like a fanboy then I advise you LEAVE if you know what's good for you. P.S. All typed on Wii XD

All this talk is making me hungry.


 This is the funniest thing I've seen all day.

Your predictions for PS3 in your sig is unrealistic. FACT.

 They are only unrealistic if the PS3 stays at $599 if it goes down to around $399-$450 it has a better chance and seeing that Europe love the PS3 and MUCH MCUH better games are coming out and the Wii will be stunted by low stock and the X360 will be tarnished when the RROD goes to court or it gets to the press and is reported in the main Newspapers and not just the internet which it already has been over here in the UK but only in one paper and it was a very small article and MS will have to deal with low stock from Halo3 probably selling through the roof and X360's going with them then the only choice will be PS3 and even more will buy it than would of.

Ok Christmas sales break down like this for PS3:

NA:1.5million to 2million during Holiday season.

Europe:1.5million to 2million

Japan:0.5million to 1million

Others:0.5million to 1million

That means in the Holidays alone it will sell at least 4million units that IS REALISTIC!!!


 

Won't happen.

1.5 - 2 million units in 2 months alone, really unlikely. If the 40gb is released then the chances go up from 20% to 60%, but I expect this durin the nov15-jan15:

North america: 0.75-1.75million

japan: 0.25-0.75million

others: 1.0-2.0million

Xbox fanboys don't exist on Vgchartz. I tried to find one but it was nearly impossible.

If we talk about recent monthly averages the PS3 has been selling at (roughly) 250,000 units per month worldwide; if sales were to continue at this rate the PS3 would be near 5.5 Million at the end of 2007. That of course doesn't take into consideration that Santa is the most expensive coke whore in the world ...

From mid-November to Christmas Eve the entire world becomes shopping crazy and the concept of budgets or living within their means; in this 6 weeks parents feel so inadequate that they will buy little jimmy a $500 piece of electronics simply because he asked for it. Certainly, the $500 price tag will limit the sales of the PS3 but that means that only 1.5 Million systems will be sold in 6 weeks.


This is my understanding as well.

The odds that the PS3 won't hit 5.5 million by the end of December are very slim; it's quite possible it will hit that figure before December (Which will see 700k+ units sold alone, I suspect).
