NJ5 how are u gettin ur numbers???...are factoring in games at all???



NJ5 on 23 August 2009

Xxain, no, I was just using the usual trends for holiday sales which are for September/October to be about equal to each other, and then sales doubling in November and December again.

It was just intended to be a simple approximate prediction... and as I said, I assumed ioi's number of 500-600k for September is correct.

In those same three days, preorders for the slimline PS3 were actually greater than sales for the current PS3, with each day larger than the previous.


That is very surprising. At my store, we sold six ps3s last Wednesday, the last of our remaining stock. We thus far only have one Slim on reserve.

Granted, my store is rarely representative of the general market, but it's still strange to hear.

@makingmusic, you had to appear out of nowhere ;_;.

Predictions arent fact even when its coming from ioi. Like I said, i will wait, the September numbers are so important to what i will think, OCT, NOV, DEC  numbers arealwaysthe biggest in terms of sales. And with the games coming up, i cant wait.

Why don't you offer some alternative predictions instead of just criticizing others'?

I'm going to say it will sell a couple hundred thousand a week for about a few months, then go down to pre-price cut levels. Maybe even lower.

ioi edited the article to say:

We estimate that September sales worldwide will be around double that of August - around 600,000 units. This will be the first time in 2009 that Sony posts a year on year increase.
