Since we're all just guesstimating now with this analyst. What if they were correct and Sony did sell 16 million by the end of the fiscal year? What would you think if that did happen?
I don't think they'll sell that many, but 11-12 could be possible if demand does spike up quite a bit and it has a crazy insane holiday season. If they did hit 16 million, I think I'd have to go and start to post "Ha Ha" threads all over this site and in the Nintendo and MS part of the website. ;)
My pokemon brings all the nerds to the yard. And they're like, "You wanna trade cards?" Damn right, I wanna trade cards. I'll trade this, but not my charizard.
| TheBigFatJ said: Actually, no one is predicting anything. Further, the article is incorrect. This is probably an interpretation of Sony's forecasts. By the way, it's a wrong interpretation because the meaning of "shipped" changed, so you can't add the 5.5 and 11 million forecasts. Correct and exactly what I just tried to articulate above. Because of the way Sony changed their numbers, they actually downard revised their forecast to 14.6 million units from 16.5 million units total by the end of fiscal '08. This seems to confuse financial analysts greatly, which must have been Sony's intention since it confuses them in a way that is very favorable to Sony. |
Yup. It's amazing how few people pay attention to Sony's own fiscal reports. Stuff like this is very easy to spot, IF you take the time to read Sony's reports. Unfortunately, most people are lazy and don't research.

Volume 3: PS3 Edition
11 MILLION is possible - AT MOST

My prediction for YEARS END:
WII - 18.3 Million
Xbox 360 - 15 Million
Playstation 3 - 8.5 Million
Problem with PS3 is the high price alienated much of the former PS audience, 399 should fix that. Nice reactions, show this sites true colors.
While 16.5 is ridiculous, I'm just realized how big this will be in Europe. While the rest of the world already had or still have a lower priced model, this is new to PAL region and should help boast sales a lot by the perception of hugely increased value.
Having said that, a lot of early adopters may be pissed....
@thanatos
