M$ lowered their sales forecast for this June down to 12 million consoles shipped by then. Down from the 13-15 million originally estimated. Why isn't it selling? It is the same price as PS2 $300. PS2 shipped 28 million consoles in 2 years. Very impressive numbers considering that for the first 9 months of it's life cycle it was exclusive in Japan. M$ will be lucky to sell 15 million 360s before years end.

A) PS2 "shipped" 28 mill in 2 years... B) The 360 hasn't unleashed any of its real big hitters yet. C) It's selling more than the PS3... D) Halo 3 and Mass Effect will pimp out another 7-10 million systems alone by years end.

PS3 is at 1.5 million after....4 months ?
4x3 = 12 months = 1 year .
1.5 x 3 = 4.5 million + 1-2 million for UK sales . = 5.5-6.5 Million after 1 years . Laughable .

the more expensive these consoles become the longer it will take to reach the same number shipment numbers as their predecessors. just simple economic realities at work. More people can purchase something for $200 then can purchase it for $400, and higher

7-10 million? So your saying that after they will ship another 5-8 million consoles in the last 6 months of the year when they are only going to ship 1.6 million for the first 6 months of the year? :lol: :lol: :lol:

There's a new 360 coming and MS is being frugal. They want the old stock gone before they deal Sony the death touch.

PS3 will have it's time to shine.....and that time is not now. I think that Wii will overthrow 360 for the #1 spot by years end though.

A) I don't know ...

B) GeOW is doing really good

C) The PS3 is outselling it 3 or 4:1 in Japan and last month the 360 only sold 50k more untis than the PS3 here in the US and the PS3 has yet to be released in Europe, so the PS3 is doing ok for now

D) Halo 3 will be a hit and Mass effect looks great, we will have to wait and see how it does

Your inability to grasp basic concepts is so astonishing that I haven't the words. Even if we use vgcharts (since it's fairly reliable for US/Japan, but not Europe so the WW numbers are off), the PS3 sold 1.8 million in 2.5 months (all the way through January), not 1.5million over 4 months (hasn't even been out for 4 months). So even if we used your basic math for a year, that's 7.2 million sold in just those two regions Then, you add in the UK only instead of ALL of Europe. So when you count your other consoles' sales, do you only use the UK or all of Europe? Please stop doing math.

Edit:
Actually, I failed too. I used 1.8 million times 4 (indicating 3 months of sales), but since that figure is only for 2.5 months, it should be multiplied by 2.5. So it's really 1.8million times 4.8, which is 8.64 million. Silly me.

One it hasn't been confirmed. Two do you think they are really going to sell alot of the Zephyr at a $479 price point? All it is adding is a 120gb HDD and HDMI port. How is that beneficial to gaming?

A.. yea B. GeOW is pretty big C. i think PS3 is actually selling better then the 360 did in the same time frame D. Mass Effect wont, but Halo 3 will, and when it does it wont be 7-10 million, i mean think about it, thats a LOT of 360's over one game, Halo 3 might sell 2 Million

I think you guys are really off with comparisons to PS2 sales or PS3 sales "in the same time frame." The present is not 7 years ago, nor is it 1 year ago. In order for Sony to gain any ground it has to outsell Microsoft NOW, not a year ago. You also seem to think that the PS3 will somehow follow the fate of the PS2. Market conditions are NOT the same as they were then, and the price point is definitely not the same. A runaway Sony victory this generation is improbable at best. Besides, the more I hear about this "Zephyr" the more I am convinced that it is the cause for MS lowered shipment totals through June. The recent reduction in shipment totals is at best a precursor to this new X360's release, and at worst a solid attempt by MS to avoid the approx 50% sold to shipped ratio (at least as far as sales estimates from the net go) that Sony is currently facing with the PS3.

Rough estimates? Your estimates are way off. Like I said before 360 will be lucky to sell 15 million by years end.

No it's not. It shows 360 sales are already decling and the console is not even 2 years old yet. they shipped way more for the first 6 months of the year last year.

It still outsold the new PS3 in the month of January by like 50k.Don't say because it has no games, because remember Sony saying that "we can sell 5 million consoles without even games". I remember that from somewhere.

they want to purge the market of $300 and $400 SKUs for a more expensive nearly $500 model? thats the most ignorant thing i ever read :lol: when nintendo and apple purged the market for new versions of the ipod and DS they were bringing in improved products that were cheaper, not just a new coat of paint and extra space lol.

It's $600.

360 has a huge game library of course it should outsell PS3 considering it's $200-$300 cheaper.

It's competing not only against the 360 and Wii but also the PS2 itself.

Maybe you should do yours because last time I checked Zephyr is still a rumor.

After christmas? Is that a joke?

No it's not. It shows 360 sales are already decling and the console is not even 2 years old yet. they shipped way more for the first 6 months of the year last year.

It still outsold the new PS3 in the month of January by like 50k.Don't say because it has no games, because remember Sony saying that "we can sell 5 million consoles without even games". I remember that from somewhere.

And considering they've shipped 4 million, they're well on their way.

"shipped" 4 million, and only sold like what 1.8 million. That's a lot of ps3's sitting on shelves considering it's new.

Declining? what were the sales last January?

M$ shipped 4 million consoles from Jan. 2006 to June 2006. And now are only going to ship 1.6 million in the same time frame.

[QUOTE="Prid3r"]PS3 is at 1.5 million after....4 months ?
4x3 = 12 months = 1 year .
1.5 x 3 = 4.5 million + 1-2 million for UK sales . = 5.5-6.5 Million after 1 years . Laughable .
InfamousC

Yes because the sales they make each month will always be the same. :roll:

Your right. PS3 sales have slowed down after launch and will continue to slow because the system is no longer in higher demand then supply like the 360 was at this stage of it's life.

[QUOTE="JayPee89"][QUOTE="InfamousC"]M$ lowered their sales forecast for this June down to 12 million consoles shipped by then. Down from the 13-15 million originally estimated. Why isn't it selling? It is the same price as PS2 $300. PS2 shipped 28 million consoles in 2 years. Very impressive numbers considering that for the first 9 months of it's life cycle it was exclusive in Japan. M$ will be lucky to sell 15 million 360s before years end. JayPee89

The only reason MS lowered the sales forecast was to clear the pipes for the Zephyr. Do some research before you post next time.

Maybe you should do yours because last time I checked Zephyr is still a rumor.

Call your local Best Buy or Wal Mart and holla back at me.

I work for Wal-Mart and Zephyr is not in are upcoming inventory.

360 and wii launched worldwide so of course they would have limited supply, and that raises demand through word of mouth etc. and sales will rise as big hitters release, same happened with 360 when dead rising and gears came out.

Sold numbers are far more important than shipped and the PS3 has yet to outsell the 360 according to NPD. In Japan is has according to media create but not by so much that it offsets the difference since the 360 sold significantly better in the US than PS3 during some months. Sony has shipped about 4 million but even the most generous estimates put their sales at under 2 million.

That still leaves a good chunk on the store shelves. The Xbox 360 wasn't as easy to find only like 3 months after its launch.

If we include Japan in the discussion than the PS3 outsold the 360 in the month of January. Don't say because it has no games because remember Sony will probably reach 5 million sold before it gets it's first AAA title.

7-10 million? So your saying that after they will ship another 5-8 million consoles in the last 6 months of the year when they are only going to ship 1.6 million for the first 6 months of the year? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Don't you people think?

There's a new 360 coming and MS is being frugal. They want the old stock gone before they screw their first year buyers....yeah that makes since.

There..fixed it for you.
