Forums - Sales Discussion - PS3 May Have Already OUSOLD Wii In Japan For 2009! (Will it stay)!

I doubt a hypothetical 500k boost could be attributable solely to FFXIII anyway. FFX didn't spike PS2 nearly that much...

I know, which is why I told him it included the holiday bump, but I guess hope springs eternal

 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Alright, give me a number, what will PS3's sales be over the 10 weeks from last week, until right after new years

From now until January 1st(ish)? 1.1 million.

Yep. Maybe a bit under ~1 million in December alone, decimating Wii's sales.

Ok, just want to let you know, that it would have to sell like Wii and PS2 sold at their peak holidays in Japan, and this is the PS3 we are talking about

I know. The same console that crushed ioi's launch month prediction over two-fold. People have underestimated PS3 consistently throughout this gen...



Ok, well we will see, but I think you are being waayy too optimistic about PS3 sales

Pretty high numbers being thrown around. Keep in mind, the PSP's best holiday, 07, did 1136k in this period. In 08, it did 818k.

[edit]

Was looking at FFX's PS2 boost. It's pretty huge, but hard to tell for sure how many it sold when GT3 released so near it. I doubt it's close to anything like 500k, though.

Anyway, keep in mind that FFXIII has only 17 days to sell in 09, compared to NSMBWii's 30. It will sell lots of PS3's, but many will lie outside of the year's end (or before December, at least).
