Forums - Sales - Hirai “confident” of 13 million PS3s this year, online service definite for 2010

dolemit3 on 20 November 2009

13 million is too low of a shipment estimate, imo. 14 million is more likely with FFXIII and God of War III yet to be released before the end of the fiscal year.

Now VGC PS3 sales are 8,026,598. So less than 5 million to 13 million until March 31, 2010. Kaz should be talking about shipped figure and shipped figure sales are around 9-10 million.

3-4 million until March 31, 2010 with holiday boosts??? It's almost certain.

I predict near 15 million sales for shipped figure... 2 millions more than Sony.

 

These numbers are wrong. It's the period since March 31, 2009 to present.

Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

They''ll reach there target of 13 Million.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

I think they won't, I can calculate that it isn't going to be likely they will but I'm too lazy.

If they'd decided to launch Gran Turismo 5 in Europe this holiday season, then it's not even in question.

Still think they'll have a great holiday season.

OHHHH. I make a mistake and get my numbers from 2009 start.

Now everything has changed.

Shipped figure about 7 million, so 6 million until March 31, 2010??? Possible.

 

Holiday boosts simulation:

* Week End 21/11: 400k
* Week End 28/11: 700k
* Week End 06/12: 500k
* Week End 12/12: 700k
* Week End 19/12: 1kk (FFXIII )
* Week End 26/12: 800k
* Week End 02/01: 400k

4.5 million until end 2009.

1.5 million to 13 million. 1.5 million in Jan/Feb/Mar? Is very, very possible.

The PS3 is selling too well to have such a large discrepancy between shipped and sold right now. The shipped figure is closer to 6 million right now unless VGC is undertracking the PS3.

Maybe by the skin of their teeth. I think 12 million is more like it.

Maybe. But the numbers of last quarter has VGC 25m and Sony shipped 27,02m.

This is about 2 million on shelves after first month Slim launch.
