Forums - Sales - PS3 at 399$ on 3rd year is ahead of GC(99$) by 8 mln. =)

Wow.. never knew how much Europe had an effect on the PS3..

Compare those with America, Europe, and Japan numbers

Basically the 8 million consoles lead is ALL from Europe.

NA and Japan are tied between the Gamecube and the PS3

oh btw - the original Xbox sold 1 million more consoles in NA when aligning launches

And Wii is doing much better at $250 than the PS2 did at $200

Wii also had the failed GameCube as it's launching point. PS3 is the siccesor to the most successful console of previous times.



radioioRobert,

For developers MOST important number is console USERBASE and 3rd party software sales attach rate, if these numbers are big enough, developers will more likely to make MORE games on that console.
More games on that console is MOST important thing for GAMERS(owners of that console). =)


TWRoO, a 249$ Wii bundled with a game.

And PS3 launched at 499/599$, that also a factor. =)



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

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

@twesterm, MOST EXPENSIVE console this gen is doing MUCH better, then MOST CHEAPEST console last gen. =)


Further cementing the point that price isn't the driving factor in sales. Not saying it won't get a boost but your dreaming if you think its going to do wii numbers which is what most sony fanboys believe since they think the ps3 can close the gap with the 360 in a single year which is laughable to say the least.


                                           

                      The definitive evidence that video games turn people into mass murderers

So PS3 is more succesful then GC? Thats hardly big news, and is it really such reason to celebrate when Sony sold 20 milion consoles at loss? And during the GC times Ninty made profit regularly?

I'd say the money the developers can make is more important than console userbase.  You don't see GTA IV selling as good on the Wii as the 360 or PS3 do you?  *EDIT:  They both have an impact on the money made on the game, I guess.  To me, having the most games on a console doesn't mean anything to me.  I don't care if 360 has 300 games, Wii 200, PS3 200 (total guesses).  I can't afford all those games anyway.  I like a console that is going to have at least 30 - 40 games that I would like to play (during its lifetime).



lol. Gotta love the crazzzzzy.

I think you should reread TWRoO's comment above and let it sink it to fully realize the unimportance of your OP.



It's very funny that Crazzyman compares the PS3 to the GC because a lot of PS3 (x-box) fanboys mockingly compare the wii as 2 GC's taped together. And those 2 ducktaped GC's are killing the other consoles.

You should work for PSXetreme, Crazzyman.

lmfao.. this remindes me of the movie Mr. Baseball  "In last season, I lead this club in 9th inning doubles for the month of August"
