Forums - Sales - Can the PS3 Outsell the PS n PS2?

ps2 didn't sell fast either they started off slow just as the ps3 now and the same questions were goin around wonderin if it was gonna last and it did
And no all i stated was my opinion
I said i think it will because it has so much more into it than the other systems and when the price goes down sales will outdo competition

Sales were slow in the early months due to component shortages, not demand.  It also sold almost 20 million units before the GC and Xbox even launched.   How can you tell me that people were suggesting the PS2 would fail?

 

Just as you're entitled to your opinion, others are entitled to point out the fallacies in your logic.

Jboy - God, please stop it. If you love the PS3 that's cool but keep your feet on the ground. The PS3 is losing because they made bad choices just like the saturn and the N64 did. The wii is not winning because of the price. If that was the case then the xbox360 would be outseling the wii and that's not happening.

Also, why are you dismissing the competition? that's childish. And no, the "is my opinion argument" doesn't works because it doesn't make sense. It may be your opinion but it doesn't change the fact that you're wrong.

And nobody expected the PS2 to sell badly. No one. I don't know where you get that idea.

I loved my Gamecube but I did knew that it wouldn't ever outsell the PS2 and that's fine. Honestly, enjoy your console but face reality. Being in denial is useless and absurd.

And the "wii is a kiddy sistem" is a very old and tired argument. Drop it and grow up.



Say what you want I really don't care my opinion stands and when ps3 does outsell them I'll know I was right and if not I'll know I was wrong but its not even been 3 years yet so I don't see how its possible to tell yet ps2 sold 100 mil in 6 years but I say wait til Nov 17th of this year and if sales aren't at 50 mil or close to it, then talk about it bein a failure but not this early. I'm done talkin about this we'll see when we'll see thats all i'm sayin i got more important stuff to do then try to hold a conversation with nintendo/microsoft fans

people arent all that optimistic abt the PS3 future as i thought.....

Anything over 60 million units is being optimistic the PS3 had a less then impressive start and we are currently in a global recession who's effects will be felt for years to come.

Heh, typicall....

Again, just because is your opinion doesn't mean you are right.

And grab a chair because it will take a lot of time buddy.



How am I wrong for my own damn opinion??
and the Wii does sell kiddy games. Mario, Donkey Kong, etc.
Most of their games are rated E while most of ps3's are T/M
I have learned there is no sense in even statin my opinion on Sony around nintendo/microsoft fans.



Pigs fly! That's my opinion and you can't tell me I'm wrong!



Signature goes here!

So the fact it has ~30 million to go between now and Nov 17th is irrelevant to you?

Actually, E rated games make up the bulk of every single system on the market.   Always have.

There is so much wrong with this graph, it is not even funny.

 

 

Graph shows that PS3 sold much more than PS1 in 3 years. So it would take miracle for PS3 NOT to outsell PS1.

 

 VGchartz doesn't have complete data for the PS1 era, so those numbers are not the PS1's true sales

 

Graph says PS3 sold 21 million in 3 years and Ps1 sold 8 million in 3 years. And lets say Vgchartz undertracked PS1 by 6 million ( still a LOT, probably not true), PS3 still outsold it by 6 millions.
