Sony re-affirms 6 million PS3 aim by end of March

They can ship all they want, they are still not selling. Only 1.6 Million consoles sold in 4 months that leaves about 4.4 million consoles unsold.

^except you forgot about that whole releasing in Europe and Australia....thing.

That number is not official yet.We will see May 13 but i can tell you now its not 1.6 million sold that number from Nexgen wars is behind on Wii & PS3 i work @ Bestbuy i can tell you that PS3 here at BB & other stores has been good.Not massive but a really good flow & also to count that there are alot of games for PS3 coming out as of now will only help that number.I'm calling it right now when Sony release there numbers in may some people going to be shocked at how many sold and going to say it was inflated.There are not build up like people claim Sony is doing a very good job of producing consoles quick.

That's a lot of overstock. :)

Sony might catch up eventually,but reckon by then Xbox 720 & Wii 2 will be released,technology is improving too quick now a days,you could not have a console that can stand for 10 years now,not like the Ps1 did. a new Pc is old by time its 2 years old if you dont keep upgrading its performance

Less than 15 days left till end of march. Keep dreaming sony.

march, 2008! lol if this march then wow! but yeah by March 2008= 6M ps3?

sound borderline unreasonable

I've always been a big videogame fan; no matter if it's nintendo, microsoft, or sony. I've been following gaming systems since the atari 2600(practically had every major system). I've always been a playstation fan but don't see this goal happening. Good luck Sony. A little too big for your britches.

Sony will probably pull it off somehow,,,they always do.
They are such a massive company they can pretty much 'buy' the consoel war,, whilst Nintendo (and sega in the past) have made sales through releasing great new games..All Sony have ever had to do is pump £££'s into marketing,,sponsoring anything and everything. Sony get celebs to endorse them,,,instal them free in nightclubs etc to make them 'cool' so that everybody has to have one to be 'cool'.

Yes,,in the end they will outsell everything else and once again will claim to win the 'console war' if there is such a thing.

All I know, is that even if there are 6 billion PS3's in the world,,,,and Nintendo only sell 37 wii's,,,doe that make the PS3 better,,,HELL NO !!!!!!!!!!!

PS3 is NOT for poor people.

You will be surprise how this is going to happen......

Than it's possible since they have whole year ahead and they already sold 2mil so 4 million is possible.

I agree! except that 6 billion ps3 or 10million is kinda impossible for ps3. Wii is almost catching up with xbox 360. By end of year wii will be on the top.

well what is for poor people than.if the ps3 is not for poor people than how do they expect to win this war dont they understand that poor people are the most reckless spenders in the world.a poor person will not pay a bill just say they have ps3.also there are different levels of poor the working poor tend to be a little better with the spending.than the none working poor.

i don't think it has anything to do with rich or poor,,gamers NEED games,,,,,have cocain addicts got any money,,,no! but they still manage to find £500 a week to buy it. If somebody wants a PS3, they will as the other guy said,,,skip paying bills or whatever,,,maybe not buy food for a month! It's easy to get credit or loans these days,,so the rich might pay cash,,,the people who are not so well off might get one on finance but it wont stop sales. My mate paid £400 for his PS1 and was still paying the loan off when he bought his N64!

Be warned zippy commenthh


This is assnine for 3 reasons
1.the PS3 is almsot twice the price of the 360.
2.the 360 was the only option and people rushed to it despite its fckedup hardware.

and fianly I will end with this bit'o'zippyisim

3.the PS3 has to "fight" the PS2,WII and 360 so I see it selling 2-3 million consoles.


End of zippy commenthh

Halve the price and release twice what's out now and I may start thinking about it.
