Forums - Sales - PS3 sales over 300,000 Second Week! Congrats! Thoughts?

I think next week's release of ODST will tighten the race a little bit.

But lets be honest, we're all looking forward to the WW2 of console wars this winter. :) My cable will never see more video game advertisements.

200k for next week seems about right, maybe a little bit higher.

^thats not certain but considering the system base those games pushed before.
it certain they will do it again, look of ps2 sales when GT 3 and FFX its released.

Thats what i mean.

Sony has 3 of their main franchises yet to berth on this console gen FF, GT, GoW. (FF in japan and others due to brand recognition). And theyre all lined up now with an entry price of $299. This is the perfect storm im sure sony execs have been waiting for. Its the time for their move if they play their cards right.....but as we have seen in the past, Sony could easily ruin it, haha.


Sony got a little arrogant and tried to push things a bit too much with their price point.  They learned their mistake and I doubt another mistake of that magnitude will be made.  There is a bit of a perfect storm coming.  It is really exciting.  This gen is pretty fascinating saleswise.  So many factors.

Excellent sales. Think it will be 200'000 next week. Still don't think Sony will make 13million for this year though....

wait. didnt SONY said that the 13 million mark is for the fiscal year?. is it for this year only?. oh i didnt know that. then i dont know if they will make it to the 13 million mark or maybe they will. i dont know jeje.


I believe it is the fiscal year that Sony was talking about.  One thing is for sure, they are making it interesting. haha. 

I'm gonna be optimistic and say 250,000 next week. I like to live on the edge rofl.

@ Slimebeast, I wouldnt say domination, Sony is just in a very nice place right now.  :)

oh i see. then i think they might achieve that mark. we will have to wait and see. and your right about that. they are making it interesting jajaja!.

The difference being that GT3 and FFX did not realease on the heels of a PS2 price cut.  This changes the landscape significantly because a lot of GT and FF fans probably bought the console as the price dropped rather than wait until the release of GT5 and FFXIII.  Not to mention, we are approaching holiday season which means people will wait until November probably.



^^it seems that everyone is saying around 240-250k, I say it will be 261k



300k is great number, as long as ps3 will continue to sell at same rate.
44% is not big drop off, so PS3 may stibilize at 250-300k on average for the rest of year. :)

250k next week, with Tales of Vesperia, without it it would be 230k


Vesperia is a bit of an unknown quantity, right? I mean, ports don't usually drive sales to a large degree do they?  I mean I hope it does, but I'll remain on the slightly pessimistic side. No disappointment lol.

I think there is a ToV bundle coming out in Japan....and it's got a lot of things added to the game from what I've heard. Could be wrong about the "lot" of things, but being able to play as Flynn is what has me excited about the game.

no ToV bundle in Japan, Sony is still pissed :(

the game is doing very well so far, the 1st day # should be out pretty soon.
