Life with PlayStation to tie-up with Folding@home
White Knight Chronicles "awakening soon"
Dead Space arriving in Europe earlier than expected![Tokyo Game Show [TGS] 2007](/media/events/tokyo-game-show-[tgs]-2007/tgs-2007.jpg)
It's keynote time, and that means it's number time.
So where do the PlayStation platforms stand? PS2 is sitting pretty at over 120 million units sold. PSP is at a respectable 26 million sold, with 30 million expected to be surpassed shortly.
So where does that leave PS3? According to Kaz, PS3 has sold in between 5 and 6 million units, leaning slightly towards the 5 million end.
Expectations are high for the holidays however - Sony expects to reach 11 million PS3's by the end of the year. We reckon reaching that goal without a price cut will be a challenge and perhaps even miracle.
We'll keep you updated on sales of all PlayStation platforms as the year progresses.

Next: New Afrika trailer released! Afrika has been an intriguing yet mysterious title since its first showing at E3 2005. Since then, very little has been heard or seen about it. In fact, this is the firs... |
11m by the end of the year? hmm or sony has some secret cards or they are nuts
Nice, this sounds very good but i cant tell since i dont know the figures of the xbox of the top of my head
how many 360's did microsoft sell in their first year?
11 mil that sounds crazy, i hope it comes true for sony
wooooooot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11 million??? No price cut, no 40gb version. they never going to hit that goal
@ Mondax,
If I remember correctly they sold about 7units...
dont think negative Psycho-s, think positive!!!!
you never know it could happen
To jump another 5 million units over the course of a few months, I'm expecting some killer titles.
PRICE CUT CONFIRMED PRICE CUT CONFIRMED, or not...
I think it very possible they sold 5 million with very few games and they will relise about 6+ proven to be awsome games in the next 3 months plus christmas gifts, so I thin its very possible and it will most definatly happen if they lower the price even a little.
6+ games: Ratchet, Uncharted, Haze, UT4, Hot Shots 5, Eye of Judgment (maybe not for everyone but I think it looks cool) oh and +
yeah you can add one extra digi to that count. I know I'm getting one this year!
unlike you rich boys I couldn't purchase one at launch (not many people could)
it makes me wonder
(PS3) 5m ... (PS2) 120m <- where the heck are these people at?? (I'm in here)
yeah they mean in the fiscal year (i believe).. meaning by the end of march 08 not by december, which 11 mill sounds right, otherwise it could mean 11 mil shipped not sold to consumers.. 1 of the 2
Of course its units shipped, aka sold to reatilers. It's the same way Microsoft reports their units sold.
haha with home being delayed and no socom till 08 i doubt this, unless they come out with the new 40gb at 349$ that is the ONLY way, they will hit that target.. 400 is still a bit high and wont sell them 5 mill in 3 months..
about xbox sells number, it's quite impossible to know real user base, as 30 to 50% of the consoles are replacement one..
end of years is march 08 I too think (fiscal year)
with home delayed, no price cut (sony, do a 40g, no-wifi, no card reader, for the people who don't understand value-for-money, just price), no FF or no MGS4, I doubt sony will meat its objective.
But all this will change in 2008, home, MGS4 (THE system seller),other secret cards..
Larger than expected price cut on 80GB model with in game bundle. Plus higher spec PS3 120GB HDD and Rumble at $499 to follow come March. Two exclusive PS3 limited editions one white & one red. Lots of promotional coverage on MGS - Konami are already shipping these Stand/display things around the world. They are about 6ft tall and about the size of a big fridge - no idea what they look like (they are in brown boxes) but I do know who they are using as freight forwarder in Australia... :) Would anyone pay me if I got a photo???
the only thing i can think of is christmas is going to help i hope its the biggest time of the year
Wake up people Kaz is talking about 11M sold by the end of this fiscal year NOT calandar year!
They delayed home... And that will delay there sales, about time the PS3 is great people will have bought a XBox 360 and a Wii...
11 mil huh?? hmm....we will see
Maybe he means the end of the fiscal year or something? The bottom line is over 5 million units at this point is d*mn good. Hit 8 million or more by January at the price the console has been at and you've got to consider it a huge success.
11mil, no way without a price cut. I mean significant price cut. They intend to double sales figures in 3 months?
5mil is kinda sorry for a product that has been out for 10months. Its time for Sony to MOVE UNITS by cutting prices in a big way.
I own a 60 gig, and I am buying my son his very own PS3 for his B-Day this November, every little bit helps...
psn id: gingo.... i tihnk 11 mill by end of the year is managable if they cut the price but at this present moment i cant see them shifting more than 8 mill by end of the year
thats so crap, why dnt they just make the price cut this year?
It's 11 million by March 2008, the end of their FISCAL year.
11 million when he*l freezes over and halo gets ported to the nintendo DS. 11 million is a retard figure to shoot for.
hold your horses boys and girls, end of the year means end of their financial year which ends in march...
yes 11 mil is still alot to sell by then, but who knows??
U got mgs4, kz2, lbp, and a host of other games coming, so go figure
