i love my ps3, but gotta say: her sales numbers are sooo low

I like my ps3 but i can't understand why her sales numbers are so low!!??!! in japan they're good( good but not wow) in europe they're good but in america they're so low compared to the others!!! everyone tells me not to worry about the ps3 but i think sony is loosing this time!!??!! what do you think sony has to do to see they're ps3 sales getting higher especially in america?which game you think will boost the ps3 sales? when i bought a ps3, i thought that her sales will be extremly high czthe ps2 owners( there's 110 000 000 ps2 owners in the world) will buy a ps3!!! but the ps3 sales are so low!!! which game do u think will boost ps3 sales and what do u think sony has to do to boost her next-generation console?

Thanks for reading, post you're comments

the ps3 is the new kid on the block
it takes time for him to fit in
in terms of the usa it has been
known that the 360 has a wider
user base hence the ps3 is not
as popular because of this..

Well even if the ps3 does sell the least out of all the consoles, it will still have quality games like the gamecube did last gen.

And to answer your question, Im sure MGS4 and KZ2 will boost some sales. And Final Fantasy will probably just be a monster.

the ps3 is a her now? ok...

but right now it's being overshadowed by the x360 and the wii, which would explain it's weaker sales in the US, in Europe PS3 is what dominates really, not that it's been selling crazy but I'm pretty sure it's better than the x360

You have to remember MS launched a year early and sold 10 million units year 1. Year 2, with competition MS can't even sell 5 million worldwide, PS3 is at about 6 million for the year and Wii about 14 million. PS3 worldwide has outsold X360 by about a million units for the year. So it's doing well, just not as good as Wii.

In the US they need more shooters. Unreal was a good decision for Sony and if Killzone is good that will help also. A weak 2008 library by the competition will also help PS3, along with the acceptance of Blu-ray.

MS didn't even sell 10 mill units, those where inflated numbers to make it look better.

Anyways who cares about the numbers :) as long as i enjoy my PS3 and great games are coming out or are out.

Just going by what we know. MS said 10 million so I'm going with that. Unless they lied, but they wouldn't do that would they?? :roll:

blame Sony, they said they want people to feel they have too work extra hours to buy 1. Yes the hard core went out and got a $599 PS3 and a few others. even at $399 that is still out of mass market reach. They need to get a $299 PS3 out there to sell to the mass market. For most $399 is steep. I am 26 all of my friends have jobs out of college and on our way. We also grew up playing video games. 2 of my friends have PS3 (I have one too). We have jobs pay our own bills, but the thing that stops most of us from owning a PS3 is the steep as hell price. just for me my bills this month alone. car+ insurance $600, gas $80, electric $266, water, $54, phone $148, cable $178, rent $705.for a grand total of $2031 not including food or gas.Its the cost of living and an $500-$400 game system usually doesn't make the budget. But here is the kicker about 10 of my friends have Wii's, and I wonder why?

electric $266, phone $148 and calbe $178? My goodness, who's the one to blame?

My daily spending including food is less than half of your bill.
