PS3 sales prediction thread for Nov and Dec (NA/NPD)

This is for North American sales (NPD)

Assuming no new sku hits this year and they stay pat of their current pricing. Predict away.

• November -
• December -

Hypothetical situation. Sony ships a 40 gig sku by early November for $400. It has wifi , it has 2 less usb ports , and it has a free movie packed-in. Then they reduce the price of the 60 gig and 80 gig Motorstorm bundle by ~ $50 each.

• November -
• December -

Basically , what kind of impact will it really have ? Remember .... " the ps3 has no games ".

It'll definitely move some units..I would probably take the plunge with the 40 gig...I wouldn't say the PS3 has no games, but they certainly lack the punch that a 600 dollar system needs to compete with a 250 dollar juggernaught and a 400 dollar system with a superior library...

Regardless of what happens, next year will certainly be a better year for Sony. All the pieces are starting to fall into place..

No games.. Sorry the system just won't sell without games.. Top that off with Halo 3 and Mass Effect .. You can pretty much forget about the PS3 doing anything.. matter of fact I predict the Wii and the 360 to each increase by about 2 million consoles easily.. with the 360 improving it's position by a slightly better margin due to the game line up the 360 has atm.

with the 40 gig sku. around 600 000 per month

with the 80 gig only 350 000 per month(maybe less)

I agree to that

LOL by your numbers the PS3 should be leading.. Cut me a break. they can't even move 300,000 consoles in a month!

If they bring out the 40GB SKU this November, I'd say between 500-600k in the US for each month.

And without any price drop, and just the 80GB, maybe 200 - 300K for eah month.

Historically , December sales are usually around double Novemeber's sales. And again , the second situation is hypothetical. What impact would it really have ? Would you like to put a percentage of increase or or a numbers of unit increase or will it stay the same and have no effect ?

Thats my point.. Why does anyone think the PS3 will sell more consoles when it has no games.. The 360 has games and outsells it 2:1 right now..Now that Halo 3 is out plus, Mass Effect, PGR4, Bioshock.. The 360 is poised to spike sales this Xmas..

Keep this thread alive after the next few months for me.. Seriously.. I would love to see the results from this year considering what the PS3 offers as opposed to the 360 line up this year.:D
