a bit difficult, imo 360 is going to recover the lost ground again this year...

so... 

more sales for X360 means less sales for Ps3...


I am one of the believers that PS3 will surpass 360 by next, but if it does it wont by much..probaly just barely so 360 will be: Slightly behind, around the same amount and If PS3 doesn't pass slightly ahead( when I say slightly ahead/behind around 2millish difference)....Wii definitely 80mill+

yes I'm really looking forward to see SONY's targets

everyobe laughed at their targets for this year, but they will make it!

What im waiting for is for you to set up the National Association of Dog Man Love or NADML and/or declare that the female dog is superior to male dogs and feminists. Im not talking about anything dirty, im talking about putting in writing the contractual obligations between a man and his dog that has existed ever since the two species became interlinked.

Excellent a new VG$ whoring thread scheme!

great idea!

@CGi & carl

hey atleast FF13 didn't cross my LTD prediction for it in 2 weeks flat {points at PSrock}!!

Why whore a little when you can whore a lot? BTW is whoring legal in your country?



Tease.

it does, obviously it does.  what a 360 would cost by then wouldn't matter that much.


if you maintain cost matters then the cost of the 360 also matters. 

 

They both matter yes, but they don't have to matter to the same extent.  

 

And I think it is clear that to the US the 360 price matters more.  I mean, the Elite and the PS3 are now the same price.  That represents so much more value for the PS3 and yet the 360 is again outselling it even after the PS3 $100 cut and redesign.

Wait was Sony's forecast of 13M for 2009 or for their Fiscal Year?

Depends. The ps3 will perform stronger during the start of 2009 than it has during any other year, because $299 makes a big difference. Just look at its effects this holiday season. Not only that, but the ps3 will have God of War to help it along in North America, and Gran Turismo to help it along worldwide, and they're just two games amongst the ps3's best exclusive line up yet.

The ps3 has everything going for it over the first 2/3rds of next year, and that'll ensure that it at least matches its 2009 total sales in the end.

What matters most, however, is the holiday season. Unless Sony drops the price to $249 or pulls off an amazing holiday line up, they'll be down at least 10-15% year on year much like the 360 was this year, which will keep them from topping 14 million. A price drop is very unlikely, as is a stellar line up. They'll have great titles to be sure (the Last Guardian will in all likelihood be many people's game of the year), but they won't have anything like Gran Turismo or Halo.

There is, of course, and unknown quantity in Sony's remotes. They may actually be somewhat successful, which could impact the ps3's sales in the latter half of the year. At worst they'll do nothing.

I see 14mil plus in 2010 calender, that is if they don't do something stupid and counter any MS pricecut.


I believe that only Others is now price sensitive.

The US has decided and Japan has decided.

The gap in the US is now higher than it was the day before the PS3 slim launched, that speaks volumes.

Put a 199$ PS3 and see how sensitive americans get.   Japan is probably the only market where no matter what one console doesn't take off.

The next price PS3 price tag will probably be $249 most likely for 2011. $199 sounds like a 2012 price tag for PS3.

2010 sales for the PS3 will be lucky to match the 13 million PS3 sales in 2009. No PS3  price cuts are expected for 2010. God of War 3, FFXIII and Gran Turismo 5 all released in first half of 2010. No idea what PS3 games are coming for holiday period in 2010. PS3 sales may have peaked in 2009 with 13 million. 2010 could equal it. 2011 will be lower than 2010. 

The 3rd year of a console's lifespan is generally always the peak for a console system. The only exception to that rule Wii peaked in its second year with around 24 million sales in 2008.
