4.5 million PS3's SOLD, not shipped, SOLD to consumers

[QUOTE="eclipsed4utoo"][QUOTE="c0mplex"]

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.

ginraisama

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...

I don't see any HALO there :)

and this is just the console games list... don't make me go to PC :P

I kinda meant in the US.

are you saying that the total 8 million copies of Halo were all sold in the US? cause I live in Europe and i've seen some people playing that game (not many though) :P

Still pokemon sold 9.85 million copies in the US only :)

ginraisama

I would say that a great majority of those 8 million on in the US.

yea they shipped 11.6

but who knows how many they Actually sold

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.

RahKayne

lol the 360 has 14 million.

And wait, theres more - it'll have 17 million by December.

lol.

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

sharrak

that is from nexgent wars they say that they only have estimates only the real companies ,microsfot ,sony,nintendo have the real numbers so nexgenwars is not a reliable webasite Where do the numbers come from? The console sales numbers you see on the front page of NexGen Wars are estimates, and are not intended to represent exact, down to the minute sales as only Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony know the exact sales figures of their respective consoles. What we do here at NexGen Wars is compile numbers from NPD, Media Create, ChartTrack, as well as various other sources. We then take these numbers and, based on past sales trends, extrapolate the numbers out to give as close to real-time estimates as possible. Again, these are only estimates, but we are confident in our ability to bring you accurate and unbiased sales figures. Not only do we extrapolate the numbers out so they don't lag months behind with the official sales numbers, but we also update the numbers when new official numbers have been released to keep our estimates as accurate as possible. dumbfreak89

Wiki = not very reliable. Do you want me to go change that number to make it look better?

i'm Lost... here it says 6 million...

"He highlighted that the GfK figure was actually a little dated, and the final numbers sat somewhere closer to a total of 64,000 units sold in Australia to date. He also said that, on a slow week, the PS3 was selling around 2,500 units - putting it ahead of all other direct console competitors in the market. Globally, the PS3 has racked up a total of approximately 6 million units sold."

lol, the ps3 actually looks to be neck and neck with what the 360 was doing last year. I think thats pretty good considering the wii is out now.

MY PREDICTIONS!

360 will have like4-5 mill in holiday sales because of halo 3 and other games plus they will prob drop the price

(don't underestimate the "halo" hype)

ps3 will have 2-3 mill in holiday sales because of great games but price is still too higfh for the average consumer/ family income

wii will sell like freakin hotcakes for the LAST season because of mario and crazy kids + it's a cheap babysitter for kids so it intises parents.

by next holiday season 08 the ps3 and 360 will have games that demolish the wii graphicaly and ps3 will have another big price drop and will sell like mad as a awsome console/ affordable blu-ray solution (gonna be widely adopted format by then) the 360 will do good the wii can't compete with the A.I advancements and level design(lighting, effects, cpu heavy gameplay ect

[QUOTE="Monieyboi"]

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)

FireFalkon

360 SOLD 12 million or SHIPPED 12 million? Last holiday season, M$ boasted that it sold 10M already. Then 6 months later, they sold another 2 million (wow, great job there!)

Then we found out that last holiday, M$ SHIPPED 10 million (not SOLD). So how much did M$ SOLD by now? We don't know.

FYI, the Wii is going to slow down....I know, shocking. The juggernaut will slow down. With Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros, it wont be anytime soon. But at some point next year, gimmicky party games with Gamecube graphics just wont have the same appeal when games like Halo 3, MGS 4, GTA 4, are out.

I simply dont think the Wii was enough of an improvement on the Gamecube, to last for the entire Next Gen. They'll have to put out another console before Microsoft or Sony. The reason being, the graphics are holding up somewhat with the other consoles, imagine playing Resident Evil 5, then playing Mario Party 9. In a years time the Wii wont have enough to offer to stay competative. I feel the same way about the DS, its a touch screen Gameboy Advance, and wont have as long a life as the PSP.

Motion controlling is a lot of fun now, but when the 360 and PS3 are revolutionizing video games, it just wont be enough. The Wii just doesnt have the hardware to keep up in the long run. While the 360 and PS3 have the technology to continue to improve for years to come.

Its a marathon, not a sprint guys.

I don't see any HALO there :)

and this is just the console games list... don't make me go to PC :P

actually... considering the console userbase, the Halo 2 selling point of 8 million units is pretty impressive. lets not forget that many of those games that you listed are coming from systems that were much more successful than the Xbox, and that a lot of games on that list are from handhelds.

and according to MS (sure... you can bash the reliability of this source), the three biggest selling franchises of last generation were Halo, GTA, and Madden. Halo has some incredible selling power.

if you check the Nielsen rating of consoles being played, the Xbox is the second most played platform, only behind the PS2. so there are still many people who just own the last-gen Xbox who can be waiting for Halo 3 to come out until they make the next-gen jump.

i think that you are thinking of this console race as decided just by gamers though. Nintendo has completely changed how things work, and now all these non-gamers have a say in what happens.

i mean... look at the DS. it is consistently dominating every month (selling half a million every month, double of the PSP worlwide)... yet the hardware is weak and its library of games has been barren for a while (pokemon gave an extremely huge boost, but before that the DS was still dominant).

and that's your opinion

True infact Halo 3's preorders are almost at the same rate as Halo 2's was back in 2004.( I know I work at Gamestop part-time and the preorder list forthe collector's, regular and legendary editions are through the roof.)thekey

I read that on Kotaku, but I don't trust it very much. Who were they surverying? What region? (US, Japan, Europe, etc.), Where were they surveying in certain regions? In the world today there is just too many differences and surverying lets say 200k-400k cannot speak for the millions of people.

actually alot of people have done so, and alot of people will buy Halo 3 without pre-ordering.

how can that be proven?

If you look online you can find semi accurate info on the actual sales of Ps3's and 360's. Its taken M$ 20 months to sell 10mil consoles and Sony 8 months to sell 4.5. So I would expect that within 20 months the Ps3 would have sold as many as M$ at the same sales timeline. Plus the PsP and Ps2 still continue to sell very well. So given that, Sony is much bigger overall game console maker than Micro$oft by a looooooong way. Sony large, Micro$oft small. the future is with Sony and thats going to start showing very soon.Sycosi

how so? Because sony has previous success they are the future?

And those people looking for MGS4 probably already have a PS3. Thats not a very valid argument. Mario fans already have Wii's, so would Mario Galaxy boost sales?

its not just previous success... it is current success as well. the PS2 is still a dominant platform despite it being a generation old.

not to mention that when all these PS2 owners makes the next-gen switch (and either decide to skip the Wii/buy the Wii and want another console)... they are going to be more inclined to get the PS3 since that is the console where all their old franchises that they liked are on.

people just have delusions when it comes to microsofts console. Peter Moore is gone now, maybe they can actually market the product correctly.
