It's highly possible!
I'm predicting that as of December 31, 2009
PS3 will have sold 5+ million units in Japan
10+ million sold in America, and 15-16 million sold everywhere else
I'm predicting the PS3 to hit 32 million units by December 2009.
Xbox 360 I think may still be ahead, but only a small margin.


Predictions (12/31/09)
X360- 36 million units
PS3- 32 million units
Wii- 57 million units

 

 Hysterical.

The remainder of this year the PS3 will sell 10 million more consoles while the 360 will only sell 6 million more.

Hey I meant to put 39 million for the Xbox. It was a typo!

For the PS3 to sell 5 million+ units by the end of the year in Japan, it would have to sell what it did last week (50+k) every week for the rest of the year. Now how likely is that?

PS3 outsells X360 by 50k in Japan region just with FFXIII demo last week.

Remember PS3 has a lot of aces up its sleeve:

1. Possible PS3 price cut later on in 2009.

2. Gran Turismo 5

3. Ffxiii versus

4. More jrpgs from 360 being ported to PS3 which will sell more on PS3. 

5. FFXIII should sell heaps in three sales regions especially Japan

6. UnCharted 2 and Ratchet and Clank will sell very well and move PS3 hardware in 2009.

7. God of War 3 and many more games for PS3.

I believe PS3 should be able to outsell XBox 360 in worldwide console sales for 2009.

This sales jump is based ENTIRELY on FFXIII. The only Sony game that will have outstanding sales is GT. The other won't do great and will most likely sell less than their predecessors.

I believe the PS3 can outsell the 360... assuming MS stops selling the 360.

PS3 sales explosion in Japan and constant release of new PS3 games will ensure PS3 achieves its goal of overtaking XBox 360 in console sales war.
PS3 will achieve second place in console wars.

Just about the only one with any validity. And maybe the one below.

2. Gran Turismo 5
When it gets around to releasing.

3. Ffxiii versus
See above. It'll only be a huge boost in Japan.

4. More jrpgs from 360 being ported to PS3 which will sell more on PS3.
Ports are going to sell hardware?

5. FFXIII should sell heaps in three sales regions especially Japan
Yes, it will. And in Japan, it will move tons of hardware.

6. UnCharted 2 and Ratchet and Clank will sell very well and move PS3 hardware in 2009.
No they won't. Uncharted sold very well and Tools of Destruction pretty respectably, but neither moved hardware. They're both awesome, though.

7. God of War 3 and many more games for PS3.
It'll move a bit of hardware. Think Killzone 2 levels, but a little bit higher.

I believe PS3 should be able to outsell XBox 360 in worldwide console sales for 2009.
I think so too, but that's only because of the first reason.

And I think it's pretty obvious that the PS3 is going to beat the 360 in Japan. This year and every year until it is discontinued in 2016 (or so Sony says.)

It won't reach the Wii in Japan, though. There's still a 5 million console gap. If the Wii stopped being produced today, and the PS3 sold 50k every week, it would take 100 weeks, or just under two years, to catch up. However, the Wii isn't going to be cancelled any time soon. With an average 10k gap per week, it would take 500 weeks, or just under ten years, for the PS3 to overtake the Wii in Japan. Not happening.

The PS3 will outsell the X360 by 0-1000,000 units in 2009. That is with a price drop to $350.


Unfortunately it doesn't look like we'll see a $299 PS3 in 2009. But I guess that's good for the X360, making it still having a lil chance to win this generation.

I perdict 11 million X360 sold this year (total 38 million).
I perdict 11.5 million PS3 sold this year (total 31 million).

How do you write 6 instead of 9?

 

Also, you're expecting this.

X360: 9M more

Ps3: 10M more

Wii: 8M more

 

What the hell? You expect both  X360 and Ps3 to outsell Wii?

man this site is filling up with pro ps3 threads that good to see but i knew bout all this b4 just look at my sig and click on the word explode

ps3 should have no problem outselling the 350 WW this year

 

That's because some ps3 owners like you are losing it since it's been what, 9 months? of spotting their favorite toy at the bottom of the charts.

Enjoy it, it's gonna last.

So you're predicting that the Xbox 360 will only sell 8.25M for the rest of the year? The Xbox 360 sold 9.25M in same period last year and sales are up across the board by 40%. Furthermore you're also forgetting that the PS3 starts each year very well whilst the Xbox 360 tends to start badly and finish with a bang.
