Being the successor to the greatest console ever can't hurt either!  *hugs PS3 60GB*    (LOL, loves me some PS2 games.)



Soriku fail math.

Anyway, I wish the numbers would hurry. They're usually up by now.

Who Learned You Too Spoke?

 

OP: Wow 24M I think I can honestly say and predict that by the end of 2009 PS3-360 Gap will be less than 5M....exactly where we were before the 360 price drop.

^Took who long enough? So far as I can tell (from VGC data) PS3 is/will be the all time third fastest console to reach 24 million, behind Wii and PS2. Seems like a pretty good feat for a console which has been declared dead and will cause the ultimate downfall of Sony as a viable company on a regular basis.

Edit: What Carl said.

@ NYANKS: I don't think the losses will ever be regarded as acceptable, in that this is a strategy Sony are unlikely to ever repeat to the extent that they have with the PS3. They might make another expensive console, but not sell it at a loss. Or they might sell a loss making console, but at a price that is much closer to the competition, and for a much lower per unit loss.

PS3 3rd fastest selling system?

 

mhhmmm....

PS1 sales history:

0.9 (only released in 1 region)

3.4

9.2

19.3

 

PS3 sales:

3.6

9.2

10

13 (assuming they meet forecasts).

I guess you can say it sold faster than PS1 in it's first 3 years since the Ps1 wasn't available outside of Japan for the first year, but it is clearly behind pace even if sony exceeds their shipment forecast by millions and millions of units.

PS3 is still trailing behind DS, Wii, PS2, PS1, GB, GBA. so...7th place.

I just noticed...PS3 is currently at 23.43 million WW. Data thus far suggests PS3 sold a whopping 600k (or so) this past week. Taking the high end, this means PS3 hit 24 million!

 

This is a huge milestone, as it puts PS3 at approximately the same lifetime sales as the original Xbox!

 

PS3 is the dreamcast gamecube xbox ? of this gen now!

I'd say PS3 / 360 are still the gamecube / xbox of this generation.

 

Wii is going to be miles out in front (probably never as far as PS2 since the market is a lot bigger now and 2nd and 3rd are able to pick up a lot more sales). and 360 / Ps3 are going to be pretty much tied.



it'll reach 24 million, and by christmas the gap between the ps3 and 360 will be 4-5 million
