Forums - Sales - Analyst: PS3 to sell 16.5 mil. by March with new $399 SKU...

Enlightment on 05 October 2007

It's Playstation not Xbox

People want the price drop so that it will be affordable for them.

Killz2 will hit at least 2million the same for MGS4

So it will push at least 2 million PS3's for this year

The Price reduction will also account for at least 2 million PS3's sold this year.

So that's 4 million (if MGS4 & KZ2 are released before the holidays)

4.8 mil plus 4 mill is like 8.8 million

 

My prediction of 8 million stands!!

 

Devs have been waiting a long time for this price reduction.

They will start to shift their attention back to the Playstation brand.

 I agree with the analyst that they will alot.

Sony predicted 6 mil by end of this year, but with the new SKU Ibet they will even more. 

 

 



31 million PS3's by end of this year

8m by end of '07 was always on the cards - total WW sales that is - not sales from March '07 onwards.

But that still leaves them 7m units to sell (to retailers) in Q1 '08 to reach their fiscal predictions. Check their reports - they forecast 11m sold/shipped in fiscal year '07-'08 - meaning around 14.5-15m sold/shipped by March '08.

That's basically insane. 2m/month AFTER Xmas?

I say again - they will miss their forecast by at least 2m - and probably closer to 4m. And that's taking into account all the price cuts & software releases in Q1 '08.

lol................



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

(1) Killzone 2 and MGS4 are due out next year, not before the holidays this year. 

(2) Sony predicted 6 million units for their fiscal year, which ended March '07.  They didn't meat that goal but actually only 'shipped' 3.6 million (they originally stated 5.5 million, but then admitted that it doesn't make sense to count manufacutred units as shipped).  Considering their prediction was for 6 months ago and they still haven't shipped 6 million world wide, it looks like the PS3 is much less susccessful than they anticipated.

So your reasoning is based entirely off of two games not coming out this year and a Sony projection that expired 6 months ago and hasn't yet been met.

Ummm.... Sony hasn't even sold the proposed 5.5 mill that he is stating worldwide yet. Does anyone actually give this statement any credince at all?



Just kiss the tip.

KEEP IN MIND

Gt 5, MGS 4, Killzone 2 & GTA IV

will all come in that timespan, maybe 16.5 million isn't so silly a figure

lol.... your telling me its going to start selling 2 million a MONTH starting now because of these games and lower sku?...............


Apparently, that's what some of the fanboys are hoping for.



Just kiss the tip.


pac_manjosh on 05 October 2007

the ps3 will never sell 16.5 million by march, maybe by the end of 2008 but not march, u sony fanboys always go on about Gt 5, MGS 4, Killzone 2 & GTA IV all ur hope are pinned on 4 games, and 1 of them gta IV isnt even a exclusive and the xbox has extra content so will sell more console because of the extras.... killzone wont move units it wasnt that big of a game on the ps2, and mgs 4 might come to the 360, so that leaves gt5 which isnt goin to sell 12 million in 6 months by it self
