over 5 million ps3s sold the span of 3 months? hm even with uncharted + holiday + the price cut, i don't think it is possible. maybe 4m

September : 1 310 000 > 24.75 M
October : 1 250 000 > 26 M
November : 1 750 000 > 27.50 M
December : 2 500 000 > 30 M

Pretty tall order. I think 28.5m is more like it.

I don't think it's possible, and I don't think enough time has passed for us to establish that the current trend for ps3 sales is 200k.. I think it will be like 175k. Taking this into account I think PS3 will end up at about... 28mil by the end of the year.

i believe it can be very close.

The 360 sold around 440k on Black Friday in 2007.
After the price cut in 2008, it rose to 700k that same week.

I think the Slim is definitely capable of such a rise YoY.

not without GT5

Certainly seems possible.

YES, i expect that.

Not less than 3 mln. in December - http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=87355
Over 1.5-2 mln. in October-November, maybe even more.
PS3 sales stabilized at 200k+ for week.
And we are getting Uncharted 2 - GOTY and Killer App.

Well if it does settle at 175k then my prediction before BLack Friday will be off by about 225k.

Which could be offset by the amount of hardware FFXIII could potentially move.
