Actually 80M, which someone already mentioned on the first page, could be pretty realistic in a not-good-not-bad case.

I'd like to know why 80M is not good... Come on, the PS2 is at what now? 120-130 million more or less? Even considering PS2 didn't stop selling yet, how is 60-70% of PS2 sales not good? In fact I'd say it's too good to be true for a platform which is much less successful than the PS2.

 

What I mean is that 80M isn't the best possible case for Sony. It's definitely a decent amount but Sony has a chance for even more. But yes, considering how hard it's been for the PS3, 80M isn't bad. I guess I chose the wrong words as I couldn't really think of any better words then.

your ps3 prediction end of 09 is unrealistic. 22m ? are you trying to say that it'll sell less than 4 million this year ?

By the time we get the end of 08 numbers, the PS3 should be at 19.5 million to end 08 with so really he thinks the PS3 will sell 2.5 million in ALL of 2009 lol

 

 2.5 million is humongous.

That would mean, they could only sell 208,333 consoles per month to equal 22Mil sold End of 2009..

That on it's own is unrealistic.



  • 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.

My lifetime estimate is 40-50M

for 360 it's 50-60M

and no estimate for wii, too many factors there....

ps3 will sell 40 Million by Q3 2010.

Yes it will PS3 has been consistently outselling X360 at the same lifetime point and I'm pretty sure X360 will knock off early as 2010. Damn it 2010 will be already five years from its launch and Microsoft have two markets to attend to, they cannot let the difference between their active console and PC market grow too much.
With X360 out of pic and Wii running on its own terms, like it always did, a cheap PS3 will have a enormous market to conquer: the ones who bought PS2s from 2005 and later. I picture 50 million at least till the end of 2011 and another 20 million after that.

Absolutely, question is when. If the PS3 receives a price drop early on in 09 i believe it can achieve 40mil by the end of 09, early 2010. Its going to depend on when Sony drops the price, and if the PS3 (which I believe it will) surges in sales because of it.
