^ The sales of the PS3 won't dominate 2008.

I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I think we all remember the strength of the PS3's launch in Europe, and since that time Ioi's figures have shown that sales have slowed considerably. Chart track now has a rather amazing statistic that not only supports those figures, but emphasizes them rather starkly:

http://www.mcvuk.com/news/28388/UK-sales-of-PS3-and-360-neck-and-neck-in-2007

Relevant quotation: "However, 55 per cent of all PS3 sales came in the first four weeks after the console’s launch date."

Keep in mind, the PS3 came out in March. That means it sold more systems in March than it has in April-September, or more systems in its 1st month than it has in its last 6-7.


Kotaku miss quoted MCV... LOL they have it as 4 days and not 4 weeks.



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

That is an amazing statistic.

I'm not surprised considering how bloody expensive the PS3 is in the UK. 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

When KZ and MGS4 both fail to usher PS3 to the top of the Console heap, I wonder what future game will be billed as the savior of the PS3?

It will probably be generally accepted amogst the remaining hard-core Sony fans that the Wii has outsold the PS3 for now, but it'll never "win" due to "minigames ruining gaming", and the PS3 will be victorious in the end due to its 10 year life-span, martian invasion, or some similarly likely scenario.


I really believe the 10 year life span is unlikely with the PS3 due to its costs.  The PSX and PS2 cost less than half of the PS3's cost at their original launches, and it was their cost reduction relative to their original cost which allowed them success when their successor was released.  I believe the PS3 will not get sufficient cost reduction when the PS4 is released to warranty continuing its lifespan.
