75 million PS3s predicted sold by 2010

New Year 2007 for PlayStation 3 begins with a new report from Ireland based Business analyst firm Research and Markets which claims PS3 will maintain the largest market share by 2010; albeit with a slimmer margin than in previous generations.

The firm believes that the PlayStation 3 will ultimately maintain the largest market share, with 75 million PS3s sold worldwide by 2010.

Oh god here we go again, yes yes Sony will sell 25 million Ps3's a year, that's such a farfetched number it's not even funny, how about 40 million. It's not that the PS3 wont sell alot, but 25 million a year is utterly un heard of

MicroGamer6346d ago

It took 6 years for PS2 to reach 110 million and the competition wasn't as strong in that generation. Dreamcast was already dead through most of those years, XBox was still an experiment and Gamecube was a games only console that really couldn't compete with PS2 on a feature for feature basis. So you have PS2 selling 18-19 million a year over 6 years. To say that PS3 will exceed that with the increased strength of the competition and all the rest of the negativity surrounding Sony these days is ridiculous.

Thi is totally wrong! If you double the price of the console, you double the sales! That means around 200 million units...easily.

That's what Ken K. told me!

Antan6346d ago

ill be suprised if they hit this figure! 40/45 maybe, but it all depends on the games and at this moment in time its not possible. The PS3 needs a dozen belters next year or it will be very dificult to achieve the 75M figure.

Xbox 360 doesn't have a dozen belters of exclusive games out so it shouldn't be hard!

il beat you to the ski-lift,

framerate on snowboard kids was shocking, do you remember./?

talking of shocking framerate and kart racers style games,
Sony had a gem on ps3, with 'Modnation Racers' but again, framerate was so terrible, still fun though, indeed, when is drifting sideways not fun, the answer is never. we have not seen enough of that game, technically some people made race tracks/games in dreams and little big planet etc, but its just not the same,!!! grrrrr

morning rant over.

here, relive some ,memories. https://www.youtube.com/wat...
