Forums - Sales - PS3 to Close GAP With 360 (Yearly sales) within 4 Weeks!

darthdevidem01 on 08 September 2009

What is wrong with people like Black RL

what is wrong with the OP?

will the PS3 not close this gap yearly within 4 weeks?

I was actually generous towards xbox 360 by saying it may do 200K this week

PS3 may close this gap within 3 weeks alone, as gilgamesh said.....if your acting bitter & calling other people fools.....stop embarassing yourself

When did I EVER claim ps3 will sell 500K continuously, if it frikking did surely I would say the gap would close within 2 weeks

seriously whats wrong with some people



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Low weekly sales of the PS3 for most of 2009 with lots of people holding out for a $299 PS3 price. The mid August announcement by Sony confirmed what almost everyone believed was going to happen. The high first week sales of the PS3 Slim at $299 is just a spike due to increased demand due to people delaying their PS3 purchases.

500k sales for the launch week is not much of a surprise. The proceeding sales weeks will be interesting to see what the new PS3 average weekly sales will be due to the new PS3 price and the new look of the PS3 Slim. 150k weekly sales could become the new PS3 average sales week during non-Holiday weeks.

Last 4 months of this year should see a 50% to 100% increase on weekly PS3 sales for the same period last year. 4 million sales of PS3 in last 4 months of 2008 should increase to 6 to 8 million for last 4 months of 2009. The price cut will increase sales combined with the launch of FFXIII in Japan will increase sales of the PS3.

 be consistent when making a point. i seriously miss your old account.

" Almost everyone who predicted PS3 Slim launch sales are now eating crow. I will have salt with my crow."

First PS3 fans never ever dreamed the Slim would sell 500k in its first week, ioi predicted 600k for the whole month and most people agreed and though it might be a little higher.

When NA numbers came last week with 76k, most Xbox fans were going about how most retailers were selling it and how it was the " LBP " craziness all over again.

Then , when with shock it showed it might sell over 500k, these same people are claiming they are not surprised, people were waiting for two years for this. Well then make up your minds folks, which is it?

Now, all I hear is NATAL will do the same, PS3 can't keep selling 500k a week,

And I SAY FOR ALL PS3 FANS TO THE HATERS:

Stop hating, let us have this week, we know it won't last, we know we are in 3rd place, stop acting scared.
Thank you

I agree PS3 fans have all the reasons to celebrate for this week and you have a good point. However, there is always a different side of this.

There are PS3 fans claim that PS3 secures second place this gen and will outsell both Wii and 360 this holiday based on this week's number (and FFXIII JP release date).

Does that not upset you?



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Yet the 360 still leads by 8 million units, nice spin you did there though....

And please tell me you do know the recent ps3 slim sales won't last, they are high at the moment because the slim is a new product out with a bit of hype around it, when this settles down sales will fall again although they will be higher than what ps3 was at before, then the holiday season will be here where the 360 will once again sail past the ps3 just like last year.

 

Let's see what the end results show at the end of the year as I have a feeling a lot of you in this thread will be eating humble pie!

And just to note I am very happy the slim is selling very well, I just think a lot of people here are running before they can walk, slow down! noone knows how well the slim will keep selling.....


And the year before that... right? Oh... wait... ps33 took 07 holidays
