Playstation 3 will miss sales goal by 1.5 million units

no real surprise here, fony constantly over estimate this console

i wonder how many people (to go off on a slight tangent) re-bought a ps2 when thier original one failed?
for all the claims of 120million (i think not entirely sure) sold world wide, how many were rebuys?

i never bought the ps2 after ps1, for me the xbox was what the ps2 should have been, but thats a different thread...

anyone suffer the "you have to buy another one" attitude on the above?

I don't think Sony has ever met any of it's sales targets for the PS3 but 9.5 million consoles sold in 12 months isn't bad either.

is that actual sold, or fony sold, there is a difference

No rebuy here...but then again, the PS3 is my first dip into the franchise.

I recall not liking the original Playstation or its games when they hit the scene.

Remember, 9.5 million is just a target, not an actual figure. Stil no good exclusive for $ony though.

Quote:
Sony said it sold 4.9 million PS3 machine during the latest quarter, adding to the cumulative 10.5 million machines sold since it went on sale late 2006.

Considering the PS3 was only released in America and Japan in late 2006, and only March in the rest of the world I'd say that isn't half bad.

That was a pretty lofty goal to start with.

Considering the number of people I know, then went out to pick one up for bluray playback only... I would think they would be doing better.

Think about it this way. How many families do you expect to buy a PS3 to play the family night movie in.

Sure Sony is ambitious.

They've outsold the pace at which the 360 sold already.

HA HA HA HA HA HA

tHIS JUST REMINDS ME OF ALL THOSE POSTS... WHEN ALL THOSE SONY BLU-BOYS WHERE SAYING HOW MUCH THE PLAYSTATION 5 OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT IS RAPIDLY TAKING OVER THE MARKET..... LOL!!

Remember Sony likes to go by units shipped not by units sold... We have a metric ton of PS3's just sitting around collecting dust at my work.. (40,60 and 80 gigs) I'm sure we aren't the only place with that problem

That sounds just like goo'-old Sony, lying not only to the world but themselves too. PS3 will never overtake this "console war", their PS2 is doing even better than the PS3. lol, now that's pathetic!
