ps3 final hardware 11 - Worldwide PS3 sales only 4.28 million

Sony has today announced its Fiscal year 2007 Q1 earnings, including details of sales to date and sales projections for its three video game platforms.

At the end of Q1, worldwide sales of the PlayStation 3 stand at approximately 4.28 million (prior to Q1 2007 Sony only quoted units shipped not sold). 3.57 million came in the final half of the previous year, with a disappointing 0.71 million recorded in the first quarter 2007. Despite the console's poor sales in Q1, Sony has announced that it expects to sell a further 10.29 million units in the following three quarters, ending March 2008.

If Sony can meet its forecast then as of March 31, 2008, worldwide PlayStation 3 sales will have reached approximately 14.5 million units.

Sales of its other consoles, the PS2 and PSP were much better than that of the PS3. The aging PS2 is still going strong with Q1 sales of 2.7 million units, a 400,000 increase over the same quarter in 2006. PSP sales are reported as 2.14 million units, showing a year on year increase of over 700,000 units.

Forecast sales for the PlayStation 2 in fiscal 2007 are 10 million units, with the PSP expected to sell 9 million units.

oldest gamer	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post A true quality made machine. I love the engineering of this device. From the all powerful CBE, WiFi connection, memory card readers, BluRay movie and game storage not to mention backwards compatible with PS/PS2 games and peripherals. Nothing like pulling out that USB headset form the PC2 or even a PC and using it on the PS3. Even the hard drive is completely upgradeable . Sheer brilliance. Reply

Village idiot	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Pretty bad compared to Wii....not really if take into account how narrow-minded and price sensitive the average consumer is. The PS3 can do so much more but people cant get around the price. In two years it will be collecting dust just like your gamecube. Wiisports, Wiifit, metroid, mario, zelda, smash bros......wait 4 years....rinse, wash, repeat...that's nintendo. Reply

hah	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Hey Ghost, the Wii may be selling the best but it has the worst games. Go compare the reviews of the PS3 games versus the Wii games. Sure its nice to tout that your system is selling better. But who has the better games? And it only looks worse for Nintendo in the long run. Sony doesn't even have any big name games yet. Just wait... You can keep saying the Wii is selling better all you want but don't ever dare saying Wii is better or has better games, because both are flat out lies. Reply

lost	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post even though i'm not the ps3's biggest fan i know it will do better in the future and out sell the wii. its such a great piece of technology and attracts many other ppl other than gamers. the wii will be used by gamers and the casual gamers but the PS3 has the ability to attract people who won't even use it for games. PS3 will outsell the wii! note i'm not saying its gonna win the console wars because its not gonna win as a console its gonna suceed as a multimedia powerhouse Reply

D	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post alot of ps3 supporters believe that ' in the long run' things will be better for ps3. i see there point, but also their ignorance, by the time the ps3 ' in the long run' get their super HD ripper games, the sheer number of wii's out there will be godly, that alone will sway even more develpers over to nintendo. and how are you comparing games? surely you knew that top developers like EA admitted they didn't see the WII sucess comming, and only now are they developing games for it right? so ' in the long run' the wii can only get better.

Check this Link: http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/07/...backed-th.html EA: We Backed The "Wrong Horse" With PS3/360 In another statement that reconfirms his commitment to getting Electronic Arts back on the right track, new CEO John Riccitiello says to an investors' meeting that they messed up at the beginning of this console cycle: Our stock hasnt moved as much as wed like, Riccitello told one investor during a Q&A. He admitted that EA was on the wrong horse by concentrating mainly on the PS3 and Xbox 360 while throwing less resources towards the Wii during the console transition. Reply

john	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I dont even know why the wii would be in the same conversation as PS3. That's like comparing Kratos to Rayman. Ofcourse the PS3 is the superior console. And NOOOOOO no matter how many wii's are sold the top dev will NOT chnage. All the best games in the future will be on the PS3. Once all these silly dev's realise how crap they are and learn more about the PS3 cell you will start to see real groundbreaking games no other console can handle. We just need to be a little bit patient. We can already see it happening, look at the great line-up we're going to get. Warhawk, Lair, Heavenly Sword, Stranglehold, GTAIV, UnrealIII, Haze, MGS4, KILLZONEII, and hopefully GOWIII. That is an amazing line-up of games and ALL of them exclusive to PS3. If that can't keep u happy nothing will. Reply

Unreal 3 ain't exclusive, and no that wouldn't keep me happy, and I'm betting in future you'll be buying other games Reply

adam	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post also GTAIV isn't exclusive, there is actually going to be more content on the 360, and either is stranglehold, and lair has been delayed. don't get me wrong I'll most likely eventually own one but not before I buy a wii and 360. the most telling factor for me really is that the ps2 is still beating the pants off it sales wise. and for all the people that say "oh wait till we have games" it's been 8 months since release.....I mean really Reply
