Forums - Sales - PS3 will overtake XBox 360 by December 2009 in worldwide console sales.

i think what mikeB said is Amiga will be outsold by Ps3 > 19mil, and MorphOS outsold amigaOS4 2:1


next week number will be interesting, as i predict Japan number will be back to 25K, then week after that back to 10-15K for PS3

Maybe he is taking up Crazzyman's slack? I don't know how else to explain it.

With all the negativity, I thought I might just as well share some more balanced perspectives. As I said, I consider it a possibility for the given reasons.

Important will be a cheaper slimline PS3, so that Sony can finally start to push the platform they way it deserves. For instance selling at Wii levels early on Sony could never have afforded, so until they are near the break even point on the hardware it will be a balancing act for Sony.

So the PS3 doubling its userbase (built in 2+ years) during a recession year is a balanced perspective?

By the way, your "Sony couldn't have afforded" argument doesn't work. They could have afforded it if the PS3 sold OK at 500-600 € as Sony was expecting.

So much ridiculous…need something more less stupid


Or world…


Will…

Explode….






Ahhh much better



 

I think PS3 will outsell X360 by 5mil consoles in 2009 while x360 will be ahead of PSP by 400k. At the same time wii will outsell PS3 by 7mil consoles and x360 by 2mil. X360 by the end of 2009 will come close to DS at around 120mil, and PSP will outsell DS by 600k in overall sales. The PS2 overall will be better than PS3 and PS3 will be better than PS2.

I think that makes sense



so where do you buy your stuff???? I like to thinkt he PS3 will have huge sales but lets be realistic here.

I dont think you have ANY credibilty left whatsoever?

Never had any amongst PS3 haters actually, but I am regularly contacted by people who thank me for the technical information I have provided and collected on SPE usages and its importance to PS3 game performance from around the launch period. Due to the release of games like Uncharted and the pending release of Killzone 2 combined with more recent dev comments, I have gained a lot of creditability in many people's eyes (as well as more hate from vivid 360 fanboys).

Some sales predictions from me were rather spot on, like holding a poll before the PS3's European launch stating I thought the PS3 would perform relatively much better there than for the United States. Or when I argued with VGChartz staff about the PS3 starting to outsell the 360 worldwide after Halo 3 had launched. The staff member made fun of me, but it did happen.

Of course there are always conditions which we don't have influence on, for example software (nomatter which console) is often delayed, etc.

PS3 vs 360 sales

That there are even 2 people on the face of this planet that actually think it could happen makes me sad.

Even if 360 would sell absolutely nothing PS3 would just barely make it, let alone in a year where 2 Halo games are released and the economy is in the dumbs since even with a pricecut 360 will be the cheapest of the two.

Stop this lunacy: The average PS3 yearly sales is below 10 million/year. It won't sell 8 million MORE than the 360 in 2009. Probably not even ever.
