Forums - Sony Discussion - Prediction: The PS3 will have 50 million sellers (games) by the end of 2009

Midnight Club LA saw a small surge in sales last week, doubling its weekly sales to 8000. With just 38000 sales to go before the million and the holiday season kicking in soon, this should make the million.

I think Dragon Age: Origins has a fair shot at the million before 2009 is up. Fallout 3 reached 1 million in the west in 10 weeks when it was released in late october 2008, when the PS3 userbase was at 15.7 million consoles.

Well it opened with 200k in the US, and it doesn't look like Dragon Age is going to get that. I know that it will get a few more sales due to its apparant superiority over the 360 version, and its launch will be lower because they only recently moved the date forward, but I think with only a 100k launch in the US, it might struggle as I don't expect it to be huge in Europe

Well, it's got 8 weeks to do it in. We'll see how it goes I guess



Unsure on the existence/status of Singstar MJ. It would do beyond 1mil LTD for sure, but I doubt by year's end.

R&C: Crack in Time is also dubious. I personally don't think it'll break ~800k by year's end.

inFamous is guaranteed. Well done, Sucker Punch!



Do you consider SOCOM a million seller?
I'm sure it goes higher than a million with online sales. We should ask someone who has the game to look at the leaderboard or something to see if it reaches one million.
I think you can consider it.

Is that sarcasm or is this a widely held view? I haven't come across any claims of superiority on once console or the other. All claims of superiority I've seen have, naturally, gone to the PC.

Then you didn't read GameSpot's review(s).

PC > PS3 > 360



Yeah, the game is clearly best on PC but all we have seen says the PS3 version is better, and GT seemed to agree, but still got the same score, but it is not a big thing I think



R&C Will reach 1 mill sometime in 2010.
Singstar Michael Jackson probably wont reach it at all. The developers are just waiting
to long to realese that game, its losing popularity each day



Infamous shud be over 1m at end of 2009
