Forums - Sony - Nextweek PS3 sales : biggest drop ever ?

I sense a 270k next week.



Around the Network

I'm expecting 225-250k next week and then sales will probably slowly go down to 160-180k until the holyday period starts.

I'm kinda amazed by last week sales by the way.
The PS3 sold more units last week than it did on Chrismas's week last year :P



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

200k to 400k. It could be crash and burn or sustained sales momentum of the PS3 Slim. Highly unlikely PS3 Slim would be close to matching the 550k of the first week.



Why a drop ? It might sell more...



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

The interesting thing is noone waited for elite price drop lol also why Arcade users didn't decide to upgrade to elite ? - actually they have more reasons to rebuy hardware than Ps3 owners. lol at haters

OT - obviously there will be a big drop - it's normal - I go with270k

Why would it sell more? What incentive to people have to buy a PS3 this week over last week? Absolutely none.

First upgrade an arcade to elite is simply buying a HDD, not a whole new console.

Second, people having a phat PS3 rebuying a slim badly need a girlfriend or something...

 

Lol at nothing...

Yeah because the elite price drop was actually a secret



I predict:

60k in Japan
70k in NA
125k in Others

Total: 255k



My Mario Kart Wii friend code: 2707-1866-0957

Urgh... again you don't buy an elite if you have an arcade...
