11 million!? By the end of this year!? Sure, whatever.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

yeah except that the market configuration changed since PS2..... now XB came out first and sega is not here... and nintendo is shifting their market on an other segment... what you are comparing is like comparing apple market share before launching Imac.... so yes it will matter a lot the result of this end of the year especially for the DEV studios...

No. That is almost impossible. We have still a less more than five months until the year ends... at the moment, the PS3 sells 87.000 Units per week worldwide - and got a little boost because of the US-price drop. But to reach the 11 million, they have to sell ~350.000 units per week ... so the sales have to be 4 times higher...  and that  could only be possible, if Sony cuts the price extremely in my opinion. I mean - there is no sign why the sales of the PS3 will be such higher in the next weeks - and then, even less time is remaining.... perhaps sold to retailers - yes, but to customers? As i said, almost impossible...  imo Sony can be lucky if they've sold 7-8 Mio. at years end.

Here's something that will help to move those consoles, but still that selling prediction is not gonna happen

dont see it happening i see 7 mil 8 mil this year tops (who knows maybe sony will have change of luck)



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

4-D was meant as that the AI can think make multiple decisions in real time... it has nothing to do with the graphics...

How in the hell was "4D" ever supposed to refer to AI? Artificial intelligence and dimensionality are not even remotely related. This is only proving they're just using buzzwords to prey on the uninformed.



PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)
Wii: 13.52m/51w, avg 265,098/w (dn 1,102), leads PS3 by 8.01m (up 90k), avg lead 157,059/w (dn 1,341)

If 360 sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass 360 by...

01/09: (060w) +269.0%, 04/09: (073w) +246.9%, 07/09: (085w) +232.6%, 10/09: (099w) +220.3%
If PS2 sales freeze, Wii sales increases needed to pass PS2 (as of Mar07, 108.4m) by...
2008: (008w) +4373.8%, 2009: (060w) +0496.5%, 2010: (112w) +0219.6%, 2011: (165w) +0116.9%

At +0% it will pass it in 358w, the week ending September 19th, 2014, at an age of 409w (7y44w).
Current age of PS2: 7y37w.

lol,

ssj12 is just trying to save some of sonys reputation.

Ask 3 Sony fanboys about 4D and you get 3 different definitions.

btw:

Sony didn't mean 4D but "4 d's" !

It's the abbreviation for 4 dick's, cause xbots and ninys are just impotent.

p.s.

4d is just a crappy buzzword, but sony users are just buying it, thinking it's the real thing !
OMG, do xbots believe the console of their choice is the 360'th iteration of the xbox too ? no!
