Forums - Gaming - Was ps3 supposed to sell well in 2007?

Wasn't Nintendo being laughed at for releasing their biggest games in year 1 and all you guys are saying releasing ALL of their biggest franchises in 6 months is a good move.

How about the pricetag...it was the cheapest console while the PS3 was and  stil is the msot expensive console.

How about the novelty of the stick controle thingy.

 



31 million PS3's by end of this year

LOL I agree with Konnichi :3 it almost doesn't seem complete somedays to look at "hot forum topics" and not see some anti-sony thread :D I mean honestly, I can understand SOME reasons to hate SONY, I really can :) but its almost so menial and silly at this point, I honestly think someone should compile a list of things people have constantly bitched about regarding the PS3. We should see how many of them get "fixed" and then we should all sit around making up new challenges for the PS3 to take on.

I mean what's going to happen if Sony DOES take lead on Microsoft? What happens if Sony's catalogue of games does take off past Microsofts? It seems like a bunch of fanboys are almost just "waiting" for the PS3 to win for some reason. I mean honestly if you have that much faith in your console of choice, just support it! Why flamebait the other console?

I'm a SONY supporter and I hate basically everything Microsoft, I have my reasons and they won't change, but I'm not going to go into Microsoft threads and start crap xD. I'm simply not interested in the console and therefor not interested in how it's doing or where its going. The gamecube was the man out last generation and plenty of good game were still created on it, more than enough to keep any gamer satisfied with their purchase.

If you DON'T like the playstation, we get it! The whole site gets it :) Stop wasting time nagging about something you hate, and spend some time supporting what you love :P, it just works out better in the end. Of course for some of us that means FAR LESS entertaining posts ^_^ Flame topics happen to be my favorite.


 Agreed!

The entire thread is stupid, basically an opportunity to flame Sony. The only reason I posted was because of that ridiculous post I was replying to.

Personally I wouldnt be suprised if the PS3 does pass the 360 at some point in its life, I would be suprised if its library did though, MS just has more money to throw at developers. 



Lol  lets w8 for that moment then I'll get back at ya :)

In march this year they stated that they intend to sell a total amount of 6million by end of this year.
This was needed to convince developers.
This was also a prediction because of the price tag.

But since the recent events; price drops and AAA games. It will surpass the 6 million barrier this year.
Also the forced sale of the 60gig will help push out all older SKU's and give Sony the chance to use smaller chip and reduce the costs even further.
In January HOME,KZ2 & MGS4 will be released. January will move an approximate of 2million consoles.
In 2008 you will have Tekken, GTA, GT and all other hot stuff like RROM and others.

This year alone Sony sold PS3 consoles with almost no games. What if there are enough games...WHAT WILL HAPPEN. the xbox360 needs games to sell....the PS3 also needs games, but history has proven it sold with just a few games.

I guess MS is going to be thumbed in 2008 because the PS3 will sell more consoles in a shorter span then the Xbox360 did. This alone is the prove of the strength of the PS brand and the PS3.
Bioshock did not sell as many as the hypers thought.
Halo3 will sell about 4 million pieces.
KZ2 will sell about 5-6 million pieces. This is guaranteed (becoz Sony will push it in your face).
Say KZ2 can push 3mil consoles :)
MGS can push 2 mil consoles :)
that's 5million + 8 million this year = 13 million by February

But the future is bright and fail prove also counting the major trolling by certain people :)


Im sorry but your post is just wrong.

Your six million consoles was the amount they planned on shipping by march, not the amount they plan on selling by '08. (Unless you have a source to prove me wrong?)

Do you have any backing on Jan moving 2 million consoles? Last January they struggled past 300k, I doubt they are suddenly going to sell 7 times as many in the same time of year.

Halo 3 will sell 4 Million copies, are you insane? Its already at 5.14M according to this site!

KZ2 isnt guaranteed to do well at all, its a sequal to an average game. It currently looks good and probably will be good, but thats what people thought about Lair as well. Also it simply wont push 3M consoles, that shit just doesnt happen. MGS wont push 2M either.

It doesnt just work as individual games 'pushing' consoles, its about the library and perceived value. Personally, I would bet that by Febuary there will not be 13M consoles sold.

 I did not mean to say that it will be the maximum but 5 million? No not 2008 by dec 2007 they ment to sell 6 million consoles  Only time will tell wether it can sell 10 million by januari

... Right, because the PS3 is the only console to get flamed ever, while it is the only console to not have fanboys. /sarcasm

Get over it, it happens for all, no one is exempt.



Nor did I say it was o.O Fanboy's in generally are obnoxious. ON ALL FRONTS.

I love the community here but its so obvious to see who supports what by which console they flame -_- I mean almost EVERY topic posted on these boards gets derailed by someone who dissagree's/flames then the original poster is left in the dust, hell this entire thread was created based on a flamebait. The topic could have easily read "What will be the Playstation 3's best year?" or "When do you think PS3 will hit mass market" or something in non-negative context.
