This topic is locked from further discussion.
hmm, will it hit the 10 million mark until the holidays? my prediction is that the ps3 will be 4 million units behind the 360 at this years end.FireFalkon
i think it will be more like 2 million behind the 360 by holidays. Its already 5 million behind 360 now. Its 3 million behind wii. And most halo fans have 360's already,and the PS3 has a WAY better holiday line-up than any other console( i really mean that,im not biased,i have all 3 systems)
the 360 already sold 12 million units already, didn't it? PS3 sales are taking off now but i don't see 8 million more units being sold until the holidaysi think it will be more like 2 million behind the 360 by holidays. Its already 5 million behind 360 now.

Yeah I think that it will be something between 2-4 million, just to give a wide range.
And that is something really impressive if you take into account all the obstacles it poses to casual gamers: Price, Games, Negative Press.
But this is something that was gonna happen sooner or later, after all it has both Sony and Play Station on its name, thus it carries a lot of brand name to support it.
[QUOTE="RahKayne"]360 has 14million
so i think PS3 will have 10 million at least (11 milion max) by December and 360 will have 16 million 17 million max.
It'll catch up to 360 next year probably in the 20 millions. Wii is a monster.
mushi799
14 mill? where you get that number
14 million? more like 11 million or 12 million

WOW whoops, I made a big mistake.
ouch that's not good
ok 10- 11 million for PS3 by Dec and 13-15 million for 360 (giving them the same amount of growth)
well they link you provided is from a website with the word "ps3fanboy" in it...kevy619
Yes but earlier today some posted a link that had a guy from sony saying that the PS3 has sold 4.5 million units. So the ps3fanboy site probally just got it from tehre
That doesnt mean anything. There is also an Xbox360fanby.com[QUOTE="MagMower"][QUOTE="kevy619"]well they link you provided is from a website with the word "ps3fanboy" in it...kevy619
and let me guess, xbox360fanboy.com confirms MGS4 on xbox 360?
And aren't you the one who still thinks MGS4 is going to 360

I dont care if it goes to the 360, Im getting it for ps3. Im not waiting an extra few months for it, it might not even be as good on the 360.
I think you guys are selling the 360 short. It's cheaper, has a bigger library of games, and has Halo 3 coming out, which is undeniably the biggest game release on the horizon...
So I dont see the PS3 catching up anytime soon. Not because it wont sell good, only because I dont see the 360 slowing down enough to allow it to catch up...

You're right, Halo 3 is going to be huge. Nothing on the ps3 can stop that, once the Halo 3 frenzy is over... thats when the ps3 has its chance.

It's funny whensome peoplesay "Omg Halo 3 is crap." If it's crap then why does Halo break so many records at retail? That's a clear indication that theirs millions of people that finds Halo to be amazing. Anyways, you're right Halo 3 can't be stopped..it's just an un-stopable game (i hear so many people online in multiplayer games always talking about Halo 3). I guarantee you Halo 3 will highly boost 360's being sold, which will put Microsoft even further ahead ofSony in units sold. Microsoft's game lineup is just too strong this year, I really think Sony will need to do more than just a price-cut to actually catch up to Microsoft in units sold. I think Sony is starting to get more competitive, but they really gotta get some of their greatgames out soon like Lair. I don't think the PS3 can catch up untilnext yearwiththe release of MGS4. Sony has the best game lineup in 2008..I don't quite know what 360's is![QUOTE="RahKayne"]360 has 14million

14 mill? where you get that number
yeah. it was at 11.6 million at the end of June 2007 so i sincrely doubt that they sold 2.5 million in 3 weeks

The 360 not slowing down? Where have you been for the past few months? Sales for the 360 have dropped a 60% in the last quarter. Did you think that shipping 11 million defective consoles was not going to affect their sales?

the 11.6 million units is measured as units shipped not sold. So they aren't even that high yet.
As of July 26th, 2007:
Wii: 10 Million Sold
Xbox 360: 8.5-9.5 Million Sold
PS3: 4.5 Million Sold
I'm getting my estimations from Wikipedia and adding more since they are usually as of May-June 2007
My March 08' Predictions:
Wii: 18 Million Sold
Xbox 360: 13 Million Sold
PS3: 10.5 Million Sold if $399 version comes out then 11.5 Million Sold
most lemmings bought 2 or 3 360's because the 1st one died on them... that helps on the "sold" numbers lol
Anyhow, it's cool that Sony got this recent boost in sales, I'm sure they will increase even more by the time the 60GB model ends and they start selling the 80GB at the same price while giving the consumer the chance to buy games like Lair, Warhawk, White Knight Story (my personal favourite), Rock Band, Eye of Judgement, etc... just to keep it in 2007 :)
Xmas this year will be great = more PS3 selling + soon enough MGS4 will come out wich will be the biggest boost of them all.
By mid next year the ammount of PS3 sold should equal the 360 and pass it soon enough ;)
LOL this is so funny PS3 as not sold 4.5 million consoles. Its only sold 3.8 million consoles. And Xbox 360 as sold over 11.6 million consoles.
Here is the link to prove it. http://www.nexgenwars.com/
Next time when posting a Topic about how much a consoles as sold. Please get the facts Right and not wrong.

I just liked the fact that you just used nexgenwars.com as a reliable website for consoles sold. Everyone and their mother knows for a fact that nexgenwars.com is the most unreliable source for consoles sold.

SHIPPED does not mean SOLD. Microsoft had SHIPPED 12 million consoles by March(I believe). That does not mean they have SOLD 12 million.

so what makes nextgenwars the place for sales figures? because they increment the amounts every minute? they have no clue how many consoles have been sold. they just have a timer that goes off every minute that increments all the numbers. how is that accurate?
you lose all credibility when you try to use that website as fact. everybody knows this.
the 360 has not been selling well for the past 6 months due to them stuffing the channels with their stock at the end of last year to hit their 10 million target.
but whatever the case... Halo 3, regardless of what you think about the quality of the game, is the biggest selling console franchise that will boost sales like no other game.

c0mplex
but you have to think, how many of those 8 million Halo fans(close to the sales of Halo 2) already have 360s? I think a great majority of them already have a 360. So while the game will probably be the highest selling game ever, I don't think it will sell as many consoles as everybody thinks.

erm... not much of a chance to be the best selling game ever... unless everyone who owns an X360 buys the game 4times...
here you go guys...
