You know I'm not at all surprised that Crazyman would post something like this. The guy is either a troll account, joke account, or just plain delusional. MikeB, for all the issues I've had with you, I never thought you were crazy. Sure I thought the your fascination with the Cell caused you to be incredibly bias, but I'm actually stunned.

Look it's simple, there are well educated and perfectly sane market expert analysts out there who predict something similar for the long run. All the little kids who shout so much, should IMO take a little step backwards and think about this fact for a minute.

Then they will understand that outing personal insults is pretty useless. There are many factors of relevance to this question. I am better informed with regard the console peformance. If I am right or wrong with regard to the market factors I think which are most relevant remains to be seen. But considering this is a predictions website, any form of personal attack on personal believes is really out of place.

Believe me there's nothing wrong with my sanity or IQ (actually I think it's better for you we don't get onto this side-topic ).

You just predicited a 140 million unit life time sales for PS3. That is not a sane prediction. Given all of the data that is currently available combined, with what we know from past generations, your assertations are borderline  impossible. Basing the probability of your prediction on the analytical ability of the same "educated" market expert analyst that have missed badly with their sales projections for all three consoles is another illogical basis for your predictions. These analysts were completely off the mark on the DS. Nintendo went with a similar strategy with the Wii. In all their infinite wisdom, your "expert" analyst still failed to make more accurate predictions. So I think you should take your own advice and not wander into the subject of intelligence quotient.

lot of ps3 & crazzyman bashing lately i'm also surprized on how many think it won't get passed 60-70mill before it's of the market

i don't think it will reach 100 mill by the end of 2012 sorry sony guys it is also to early to make this kind of prediction

we will have see wat kind of impact games like K2, GT5, GOW, FF will have on hw sales but going by sw sales of lbp and R2 it doesn't look like much also we will have 2 c wat a 300$ sku will do to ps3 sales once all this data is present then we can get a good idea of wat to expect

as 4 wen it will reach 100 mill it will be a tough task going by wat the ps3 has shown me now but if it ever will reach that my guess would 2015 or later wen the ps3 well be 199 or cheaper then it will b almost common sense to buy 1 as bluray will b mainstream so u'll be getting a bluray player and a pretty good game console for a cheap price

if it lasts 10 years then it will reach 100 million eventually. as price goes down sales ainy going to go down are they and sony aint going to stop supporting it any time soon. i think it will reach 100 million near the end of its life cycle.



It won't last 10 years, also PS3 reaching 100 million would mean that the gaming industry has expanded to more than half a billion consoles sold this generation



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

For the most expensive console to sell more on a per year basis for each of the next four years than it has in its first two years of existence during the worst global economic downturn since the Great Depression is extremely optimistic.

Crazzyman gives PS3 owners a bad name.

Crazzyman, divide your numbers by 2 and I think you'll be on to something.
