Forums - Sony Discussion - Will the PS3 EVER reach 40 million?

Even as a Nintendo fanboy I say yes

Um, yes. Definitely, easily, by a country mile.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

It will sell 40 Million by about Q2 2009, I think that's about right.

Hell, yeah!

If it remains at a steady 10 million per year (it will do more than that):

End of 2008: 19.5 million
End of 2009: 29.5 million
2010: 39.5 million
2011: 49.5 million
2012: 59.5 million

But realistically, it would be more like this:

2008: 19.5 million
2009: 33 million
2010: 47 million
2011: 60 million
2012: 68 million
2013: 73 million
2014: 76 million

It could perhaps do 80 million lifetime, a little bit higher than the 360, with the Wii doing 170 million or so.

 

I still don't quite understand why people believe the PS3 will magically pick up steam and outsell the 360. About 8 million difference right now with the 360 still out selling it steadily since about aug-sept of 2008 if memory serves correctly. Recent statistics have proven with the 360 arcade that cheap consoles can sell, and with the PS3 STILL losing money on every console sold, I don't follow the mindset of the "PS3 will explode! (next year)" people.

To answer the OP, it'll hit 40 million in about 2-2.5 years from now.



 

Currently playing: Civ 6

@Dave- lol! :P



My guess is between 2-3 years. A major price drop and a few killer exclusives would speed it up a bit.



Hmmm, I smell this thread being bumped mid 2009.



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

Yes...
