Got that from a very reliable source called www.vgchartz.com a little behind in figures but the most up to date you can find. So 10 mill looks very likely and is very good buisness for a console out for 16 months!!

And the best part is that Sony reports actual customer sold units while that other company *cough*MS*cough* still reports shipped so it's probably a lot closer than we think.

Sycosi

So coming out a year later and only being behind by a little over 7 mil (according to THAT website) IS pretty damn good. Plus, after MGS4, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Tekken, Home, etc., etc. this year those numbers are going to get even better. What I want to know is is that number shipped or sold because as far as I know, MS still reports shipped numbers.

So why is Sony targeting 9.5million units by the end of their fiscal year then?? Are they understating figures to make a greater impact...? Well, we'll see by the end of March...

The difference is the vg charts figures are consoles shipped to retail by sony. While sony's 11 million figure is actual consoles sold to customers.

So by reducing to 9.5 they have a much more achievable goal.

360 had a years head start over PS3.
360 came out with no next-gen competition.
360 sold 10million in its first year

PS3 came out with 2 other next-gen consoles as competitors (360 and Wii)
PS3 sold over 9million in its first year.

I think that says something, don't you?

11 million was the goal. 9.5 million is the forecasting for the fiscal year. Anyways, I think by the end of march it'll be more 10m-ish. And they accomplished that score without any real good game, and that's excellent. Because this year is gonna be different with all the good games coming...

Not to mention the lackluster selection of launch exclusives. Say what you will about Resistance, it's not a system seller. And it's also not to mention that it cost $200 more than it's competition, y'know? With the new price drop, and 2008's exclusives, the PS3 is going to dominate this year. I think that 360 console sales have hit critical mass.

As I said before the PS3 just doesn't have enough games to sell the console on a Microsoft and Nintendo basis. Software pushes hardware sales. And with all the PS3 games getting delayed it's gonna take Sony a heck of a long time to keep up sales wide with competitors. MGS4 can't come fast enough for Sony! That's when i'll get me a PS3 again.

VGC has them around 10 million as well. PS3 is closing it's gap on 360. Last summer it had sold 40% as many as 360 and now it has sold 60% as many.

Very very Nice. PS3 reached 10 million in great time considering last year didn't go so well for Sony & the PS3 plus the fact that no established franchise was released last year apart from R&C Future. Just imagine how much will PS3 be able to sell when MGS4, FF13 & GT5 is released :shock:
