Forums - Sony - PS3 will be the 4th best selling console of all time in the end

DirtyP2002 on 03 August 2009

people need to realise that it is the customer that decides how long a product will last, not the company!

What makes you so sure that the PS3 will last 10 years and the Xbox360 just 6?! The technical differences are very small, both have some awesome looking games in their library and will continue to get those as time passes by. The only difference is the BluRay-Disc, but this won't be a selling point in the future. Or do you think the DVD was a selling point for the PS2 in the past 4 years?

With Natal, I actually can see the Xbox360 match the sales it has this year in 2010 (11 - 12 million), but this is just a wild guess.

It is true that GT5 will move hardware, but will it be sustainable or just a push for 2 months? And don't list games like Heavy Rain please. I know it looks good, but it won't move hardware at all. InFamous looked good as well, but it did not much on the hardware-side.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

By the end of 09 it should hit 25million ps3 sold by end of 2010 it will have 38 to 39million sold.


I think 25mil at the end of '09 is a given.. It should be more around 30mil, with the Slim/price-cut coming. At the end of '10 it should have around 40mil.

I agree with mike. Sad but true.

I don't stand by his use of words, downplaying Xbox and sounding very arrogant, but his final numbers are very close to the truth.

PS3 70-80 mill
X360 60-70 mill

(the +/- 10 mill are depending on if this gen will be 6 or 7 years, Im leaning towards 7 for both PS3 and X360)


Whoa! That truly is shocking that you just said that. Unless you're being sarcastic?

A 10 year lifespan is a function of consumer acceptance. Only winning consoles from any generation can be sure to achieve this, the PS3 is not the winning console.

There have been no substantiated rumours of any Xbox 360 replacement. Also statements from Microsoft directly contradict any idea that you can say that 2011 will be the year a new Xbox will be released. However there have been semi-substantiated rumours of an additional 4 hardware revisions which imply otherwise so with no evidence to support an earlier release and a little evidence to support a later release you'd have to go with the later release for now.

So in short, you have belief rather than proof or even evidence on your side.

If my belief is = to your belief then if I believe something to the opposite of what you believe does that not cancel it out?

I guess you missed the part where i said that it only has to sell 10millions units a year starting next year at 300$ps3 slim for only 5years

to reach 75million ps3s sold, Whats so hard to belive in that?

And just because microsoft released a statement about how long  the 360 will last doesnt make it true,

These are the same people who said that the 360 only had 16%failure rate when infact it had 33% failure rate.

Thats 25Million sold in just 3 years at an averge price of (500$ a console)

And the ps3 has 10years in it just like PS2 and PS1 did and maybe more.

As soon as the slim 300$ PS3 releases late this year or early next year along with alot of exclusives like GT5,god of war3,uncharted 2,heavy rain and many more its going to sell like crazy.

....

 

Anyone else smell the irony?

Oh, I can smell it.  I was going to point it out as well, but you beat me to it.

No sarcasm. I just can't let my fanboyism stand in the way of truth.
