[QUOTE="R-Dot-Yung"]its totally doable, AMerica isnt the only markethorgen123

It's really, really not. :(

6 million Ps3s sold from now til Dec. 31st? Impossible...sorry :?

4.5 million now so this holiday season they can't sell 1.5 million world wide.

sure they don't mean financial year 2007?

that ends in March, and could be a possibility

Yes, that is exactly what they mean. The TC doesn't know what he is talking about.

I would hope so. Naughty Dog makes some fantastic games. Uncharted should be one of those must haves for the PS3. Probably the best looking game of 2007 for the PS3. I suppose there's always Haze (which looks like meh) or Unreal Tourny 3 that will help some in the end as well. I'm willing to bet Unreal sells better on PC anyway. Multiplats could move the system forward, but not in large steps. Assassins Creed, COD4, etc.

2008 will be interesting though. All we're seeing so far are "fit" games for the Wii or mini type games. PS3 we're seeing a strong rpg line up, as well as other key franchises. Same with the 360 but I think the PS3 has a slight edge over what the 360 has shown so far. Heh. This war is far from over. Which is scary because usually we know who the clear winner is by now but...it's hardly the case.

I agree, PS3 starts to look much more appealing once you look to 2008. But that has kind of been its problem for a while now. Everything has looked great untill you got there.

Well, guess in the end we're gonna see SMG vs Halo 3 with the scores (and presumingly sales because everyone likes to whore sales numbers. Although I see Uncharted doing well.)

cakeorrdeath

I think it will do ok, but I don't see it as a game with mass appeal. Plus it's a new IP.

So was Gears of War, whats your point? I am not saying that Uncharted is better game but just because its new IP it doesn't mean anything. It can boost sales a lot like Gears or it could flop, you never know.

The real point is that i am surprised that two moderator find this topic so interesting?! First of all Sony said 11 million by the end of March 2008, not end of 2007 like topic creator said, and not putting link to prove it. Also they said "SHIPPED" not to "SELL". Those are two different things.

What is going to sell these 5 million consoles?

BrooklynBomber

When the 60 gig dropped to $500 it moved fast and I hear there is a 40 gig at $400 coming this holiday so it shoud do well, also there will actually be games this xmas for the ps3. I predict about 10 million shipped early 2008 give or take a million if the info is correct.

Most people want the system but the price was too high imo $400 will be good price for the ps3, that only $50 (same price if you add live) more than the 360 premium with a blu-ray player and bigger hard drive plus free online gaming.

I cant believe mods are letting you have that RACIST image as your sig. Unbelievable!

it won't this year because simply the ps 2 is still alive. how come the 360 is strungling in sales against a last gen system. that tells you that A. ps 2 is still the best system which means that most 140 user base is still using there ps 2. you can't say that about the other two can you. there is now hope for 360 in this system war because 4.5 in the first 11 mouths with a console that is still alive to 11 million in 2 years with a dead last gen system. funny how no one under stands this. when the ps 2 dies you thick 140 millio people and still groing are going to just switch console. nopeGARRYTH

why is it that every time I hear someone quote the PS2 sales it jumps by 10 million. Did they sell 20 million this year or something? anyway how do you know that everyone who owns a PS2 are going to buy a PS3, the PS3 seems to be aiming at a very differnt market than the PS2 if you ask me. The PS2 was marketed hard towards casuals with its relatively low price and large number of casual games across many differnet genres (from madden to GTA to 50 cent bullet proof to FF to spounge bob) with the new popular movie format. The price and blueray are two things that I belive to be narrowing the market for the PS3, also the lack of games that apeal to a younger crowd seems to be an issue as well.

how do you know that all of those ps2 owners you keep talking about are loyal sony playstation brand fans?

the fact is most of them will be because the name sony. most of them don't go to game sites to see which games are for what system. there are goingto play the games on the ps 2 then when there ready to get a new one they will just buy a ps 3 bacouse they were happy with the ps 2. there not going to go in a store and be like i love my ps 2 so i will by a 360 nope they will pick up the new that plays there faverate ps 2 games and see the sequals of there faverate ps 2 games and buy a ps 3.

so basically you're saying that most ps2 owners were casuals. do you really think casuals are going to flock to the most expensive console?

um it seems those casuals aren't buying the 360 either because 11 million world wide in two years is not much.besides the ps 3 will most likely have a 40 gig for 399 by the time the gta 4 comes out and im sure those casuals most likely bought other great games the ps 2 and most of them bought games like getaway ect. because they were like grand theft auto every one i now anyways. and they now they can play there last gen grand theft autos. ect. on the ps 3. plus casuals now that were last gen are either hardcore or layal to sony now. the casuals now now how bad the xbox1 was in terms of games so they don't now how well the 360 will turn out. then again they will see that grandtheft auto needs a hd so the ps 3 that 399 is more space than the 50 dollor cheaper 360 so for 50 dollars more they can have more space ect.

Man, you are really trying to hard to convince (yourself? US?) that PS3 is gonna take off in sales.

You say 360 hasn't sold all that great in two years (it hasn't been 2 years yet, by the way. They could do 2 million more units before they hit the 2 year mark). But anyway, if true, what makes you think that ps3 will sell at $399.99 any more than 360 did?

That's right, you think 100 million Sony fans are waiting for a price drop to all run out and get a ps3. Well, obviously you know that is not the case. There are dozens of examples right here in SW that many of those ps2 fans jumped ship and hate Sony, now. More than likely, you know people like that in the real world, too (I've met many).

Face it, many of the casuals that Sony reached last gen are buying Wii now. Some are buying 360. Sony would have to do something drastic to get them back at this time, and a $399.99 system isn't gonna do it.

P.S.

How much you wanna bet the Elite drops to $399.99 if Sony releases a 40 gig console at that price? Better yet, there is a rumor of another 360 price drop soon. This rumored 40 gig ps3 is probably a RESPONSE to that rumor. Sony probably heard that MS is gonna drop the Elite to $399.99, and is readying the 40gb PS3 in case they do. MS will drop their price FIRST.

that is why when the ps 3 drop to 500 the sales jumped alot it even out sold the 360 for that mouth. so imagine the sales for a 399 ps 3 out sell the 360 even more. and who is jumping ship the xbox1 one fans that started to be bored and bout a 2nd syste ps 2 i now fanboy comment but it is true how many poeple that had an xbox1 had a ps 2 just about all of them but lovethere xbox for halo2 so now there are good games coming so the xbox fans have more of a reason to buy a 360. also how many people last gen was mad at sony (mostly parents) for having to buy more than one console so there going to buy even more deffective console i think not. now look what is coming out rachet and clank and naughty dog game there beloved games and nown game makers are strarting to comeout wich will make fans flock on the ps 3 for. see the fact is to turn 120 OR SO user base is very hard to do. and one gen can't do it.

my screen res is 1280*1024 which qualifies as HD. I would have 1920*1080 if I bought a screen with that res.

Gears of war had a HUGE advertising budget and was about space marines with chainsaws on the end of their guns. Completely different kettle of fish.

And what's wrong with mods posting in this thread?

Nothing, but none of you said that this information that topic creator put there are wrong. I said above what was the real Sony strategy and expectations.

By now we should all know that Sony is not talking about selling 11 million PS3 to customers they are talking about shipping 11 million PS3 to warehouses/retailers etc.....

That way when all the companies announce their numbers Sony wont appear to be too far behind because they will only state their shipped numbers

example.(this is not a sales prediction just an example)

Wii - 13.5 million sold

Xbox 360 - 13 million sold

PS3 - 11 million shipped

I thought it was 120 million at the end of 2006, and the 360 isnt the system that I think alot of the casuals are flocking to. And just let me say this, I dont know about the average parent, but my parents would have never bought me any console over $200 when I was a kid (which is about $300 now if you calculate inflation) and my parents arerelatively affluent.

Sony can most certainly sell that many PS3s. Now all they have to do is bring out a custom MGS4 PS3 bundle including a Dualshock 3, MGS4 game, special collector's bundle with every MGS game on one Blu-ray disc,and 100GB hard drive for $299 before Halo 3 comes out. I know that is what they have to do in order to sell that many units. Therefore I am getting in line now at Best Buy to be the first to get this new $300 MGS PS3 bundle. I think I'll buy 2 and put one on Ebay. I'll be laughing at all the people waiting in line for Halo 3 as I walk out of the store.

Sony is just blowing a whole lot of hot air (not much more than usual) but even considering x-mas coming up, it seems pretty undoable, especially when it's sales are quickly dropping as it is.

that is why when the ps 3 drop to 500 the sales jumped alot it even out sold the 360 for that mouth. so imagine the sales for a 399 ps 3 out sell the 360 even more. and who is jumping ship the xbox1 one fans that started to be bored and bout a 2nd syste ps 2 i now fanboy comment but it is true how many poeple that had an xbox1 had a ps 2 just about all of them but lovethere xbox for halo2 so now there are good games coming so the xbox fans have more of a reason to buy a 360. also how many people last gen was mad at sony (mostly parents) for having to buy more than one console so there going to buy even more deffective console i think not. now look what is coming out rachet and clank and naughty dog game there beloved games and nown game makers are strarting to comeout wich will make fans flock on the ps 3 for. see the fact is to turn 120 OR SO user base is very hard to do. and one gen can't do it.

TC, I believe it meant the end of the fiscial year 07, which means Spring 08. There was a post about this yesterday, Ill see if i can find it. But even with the added 4 months, yeah Sony is on crack. *Edit* 8-10 million is a tad bit more reasonable...

Seriously Sony what kind of computation is that???? To be honest I do want that to happen but I really cant see any reason why should it sell 5million units in a matter of 3 months????? Sony 11million ps3s by the end of 2007 is more of a dream than a reality......Sony if you keep on doing this telling us something that is not unattainable will just make us more dissapointed and will just make the 360 fanboys more happy cause they will find ANOTHER reason to bash, mock, criticize, discriminate, etc the PLAYSTATION 3..

lee_asid

Isnt it 12 million shipped by spring 2008? That what i heard

I thought I was the only one. They don't seem to know what the "Enter" and "Shift" keys are for. (Here's a hint, the enter button can be used to make paragraphs so you don't end up with one hard-to-read block of text. The shift key can be used to make CAPITAL letters. These usually start each sentence ;) )

Kind of unrealistic for Sony to imagine that... nine million, maybe ten million if they really push some hardware this holiday season, would be a little more realistic. Regardless, by that time the 360 will probably be at around 16 million units sold, and the Wii will probably be at about the same number of units, maybe slightly higher.

honestly, i don't see why not. 11 mill is an exxageration, but at least 6 or 8 mill will be sold. people have buoght 4.5 million ps3's when the junk games are on it now, imagine how many will sell when haze, unreal tourney, and the early 08 hitters come out

I think it will take a lot more than enter and shift to fix it. I really can't understand anything he/she is trying to say.

"and who is jumping ship the xbox1 one fans that started to be bored and bout a 2nd syste ps 2 i now fanboy comment but it is true how many poeple that had an xbox1 had a ps 2 just about all of them but lovethere xbox for halo2 so now there are good games coming so the xbox fans have more of a reason to buy a 360."

So I took a part out that could have been made into a paragraph. Do you know WTH he/she is attempting to say?

No it wont happen, the wii owns 2007, followed by the 360.

1.5 Million in Japan America and Europe isnt doable for the Holdiays?

not without ANY system sellers or anything that would draw in the casual market. Yet again, another pipe dream from Sony. :lol:

[QUOTE="GARRYTH"]it won't this year because simply the ps 2 is still alive. how come the 360 is strungling in sales against a last gen system. that tells you that A. ps 2 is still the best system which means that most 140 user base is still using there ps 2. you can't say that about the other two can you. there is now hope for 360 in this system war because 4.5 in the first 11 mouths with a console that is still alive to 11 million in 2 years with a dead last gen system. funny how no one under stands this. when the ps 2 dies you thick 140 millio people and still groing are going to just switch console. nopeGARRYTH

how do you know that all of those ps2 owners you keep talking about are loyal sony playstation brand fans?

the fact is most of them will be because the name sony. most of them don't go to game sites to see which games are for what system. there are goingto play the games on the ps 2 then when there ready to get a new one they will just buy a ps 3 bacouse they were happy with the ps 2. there not going to go in a store and be like i love my ps 2 so i will by a 360 nope they will pick up the new that plays there faverate ps 2 games and see the sequals of there faverate ps 2 games and buy a ps 3.

What happened with the N64? I was very happy with my NES and SNES. I bought the Playstation, so did a lot of other people.

What is going to sell these 5 million consoles?

BrooklynBomber

When the 60 gig dropped to $500 it moved fast and I hear there is a 40 gig at $400 coming this holiday so it shoud do well, also there will actually be games this xmas for the ps3. I predict about 10 million shipped early 2008 give or take a million if the info is correct.

Most people want the system but the price was too high imo $400 will be good price for the ps3, that only $50 (same price if you add live) more than the 360 premium with a blu-ray player and bigger hard drive plus free online gaming.

It didn't move fast. It just moved better than it had been.

See the problem is shipped means sold to retailers. So why would retailers buy more if they still have PS3's at or near inventory. They may buoy a bit for the holidays, but I bet they are going nuts to get the Wii, and even the 360, ready for the holidays, versus the PS3.

That or some retailers plans to build the Great Wall of PS3's with all those units.

uughh... people open your eyes, Sony meant by the end of the FYSCAL YEAR
and thats march

6 million in6 months is a possibility

by march:

-the ps3 will (probably) go through another price cut
-have more great exclusive titles for it
-go through a holiday season, which is when system sell the most for obvious reasons

so I dont think Sony was biased or exagerating, the TC was the one who was simply misled.

the fact is most of them will be because the name sony. most of them don't go to game sites to see which games are for what system. there are goingto play the games on the ps 2 then when there ready to get a new one they will just buy a ps 3 bacouse they were happy with the ps 2. there not going to go in a store and be like i love my ps 2 so i will by a 360 nope they will pick up the new that plays there faverate ps 2 games and see the sequals of there faverate ps 2 games and buy a ps 3.

so basically you're saying that most ps2 owners were casuals. do you really think casuals are going to flock to the most expensive console?

um it seems those casuals aren't buying the 360 either because 11 million world wide in two years is not much.besides the ps 3 will most likely have a 40 gig for 399 by the time the gta 4 comes out and im sure those casuals most likely bought other great games the ps 2 and most of them bought games like getaway ect. because they were like grand theft auto every one i now anyways. and they now they can play there last gen grand theft autos. ect. on the ps 3. plus casuals now that were last gen are either hardcore or layal to sony now. the casuals now now how bad the xbox1 was in terms of games so they don't now how well the 360 will turn out. then again they will see that grandtheft auto needs a hd so the ps 3 that 399 is more space than the 50 dollor cheaper 360 so for 50 dollars more they can have more space ect.

Man, you are really trying to hard to convince (yourself? US?) that PS3 is gonna take off in sales.

You say 360 hasn't sold all that great in two years (it hasn't been 2 years yet, by the way. They could do 2 million more units before they hit the 2 year mark). But anyway, if true, what makes you think that ps3 will sell at $399.99 any more than 360 did?

That's right, you think 100 million Sony fans are waiting for a price drop to all run out and get a ps3. Well, obviously you know that is not the case. There are dozens of examples right here in SW that many of those ps2 fans jumped ship and hate Sony, now. More than likely, you know people like that in the real world, too (I've met many).

Face it, many of the casuals that Sony reached last gen are buying Wii now. Some are buying 360. Sony would have to do something drastic to get them back at this time, and a $399.99 system isn't gonna do it.

P.S.

How much you wanna bet the Elite drops to $399.99 if Sony releases a 40 gig console at that price? Better yet, there is a rumor of another 360 price drop soon. This rumored 40 gig ps3 is probably a RESPONSE to that rumor. Sony probably heard that MS is gonna drop the Elite to $399.99, and is readying the 40gb PS3 in case they do. MS will drop their price FIRST.

that is why when the ps 3 drop to 500 the sales jumped alot it even out sold the 360 for that mouth. so imagine the sales for a 399 ps 3 out sell the 360 even more. and who is jumping ship the xbox1 one fans that started to be bored and bout a 2nd syste ps 2 i now fanboy comment but it is true how many poeple that had an xbox1 had a ps 2 just about all of them but lovethere xbox for halo2 so now there are good games coming so the xbox fans have more of a reason to buy a 360. also how many people last gen was mad at sony (mostly parents) for having to buy more than one console so there going to buy even more deffective console i think not. now look what is coming out rachet and clank and naughty dog game there beloved games and nown game makers are strarting to comeout wich will make fans flock on the ps 3 for. see the fact is to turn 120 OR SO user base is very hard to do. and one gen can't do it.

What are you talking about?? The PS3 has yet to beat the 360 in an entire month for sales. At least not in NA, not even after the temorary price drop.

You seriously need to stop posting and do your research before you spout off garbage like that.
