Forums - Sony Discussion - Will Ps3 sell 100 million units by 2011?

The first two years that the PS3's has been out it sold 18 million (almost), and thats with an average price price of $500. By 2009 there will be a price drop to $349 and even possibly to $299. Do you think that that Sony will sell 100 mill+ PS3's by christmas 2011 not to mention in 2009 they will have the best line-up avalible IMO.

 

EDIT: I say 2011 cause that would be at least 5 years into ps3 life

No



I have a better chance of getting some from Jessica Biel than that happening.



I'm sorry, but the PS3 will not sell 100million by even 3011.



No, only by the end of 2012 or maybe one year later. =)
PS2 needed around 7 years to pass 100 mln. mark.

Unless, Sony do a pricecut in spring by 100$, and then by Christmas for another 100$, then yes, epic win. =))

The PS2 only need 5 years and 9 months for it to sell 100 million



Needs to average 27 mill a year to reach it from now on....



 

I would say that there is a chance that they get to 50 million by the end of the PS3s life if they make some serious price cuts.



You ever get the feeling that the ps brand is like Al Bundy talking about when he played football in HS.

The DS hasn't even hit 100 million yet... So no
