Forums - Sales - Ps3 barely above 100k worldwide, what to do?

April.

533k PS3
546k 360


May

208k Ps3
227k 360

We will see what all of may does.

If PS3 was only selling half of 360 they you got a serious problem, but right now PS3 is just fine Sony does not have to do anything.

there going to have 2 bundles in EU in a few weeks that should help

the real concern would be for the 360 i would have never thought that at half the price it would only outsell the ps3 by 11k im mean the ps3 still can go to 300$ and still has plenty of HW moving games to come out

Which one is selling less??? Ps3

Which company is the one losing tons and tons of money thanks to the console??? Sony

Which console is selling less than the Ps2 [America]???? Ps3


yeah guys, what's wrong with all of you?????

Who's the guy asking so many questions?!!!

AAH I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

 



What's to do? nothing. This is a slow season for everything, even the 360 with its great affordability and features comparable to the PS3 ones (better here, worse somewhere else) is doing badly.



Reveal the slim at E3 for $300, release it later that week. Or maybe even later in the year, it's not like they absolutely have to do something right now because the 360 is struggling to outsell it at half the price.

What an awesome thread this was. Wish i was here from the start.

Anyway, they need to use a lot more advertising, and get the Slimline PS3 out on the market.



                            

What to do?
Maybe i should make a thread, "What if x360 sell less, than PS2 in NA, what to do?". =))

Anyway, it`s not sprint competition, it`s a long run marathon, so if PS3 at some point sell less, than 100k, it`s not big deal, at current economical situation + being the MOST EXPENSIVE console on the market.

I wonder, what M$ will do, when at current prices, PS3 and x360 are selling on par... Then, when PS3 gets a pricecut, what will M$ do?
Another money sucking pricecut? I think, M$ investors will be pleased. =))

p.s. PS3 is selling for 400$ for almost 2 years, while x360 had pricecut just around half a year ago...

p.p.s. Anyway, Amazon made a little pricecut on PS3 models in NA this week + Europe got a bundle http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=72416 last week, and gettting one more next week,
so you can expext some boost in PS3 sales. =)
"Problem" solved.



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

It will get harder and harder for Sony to justify the existence of a PS4 if things keep on going this way



 

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)
