Analyst: PS3 Sales Saggy By 25%

Submitted by on January 15, 2007 – 11:50 am4 Comments

Arnold.jpgMuch like Old Man Ah-nuld to the left, Sony’s age in the video game industry has begun to show. Their repeated inflation of the PS3 sales expectations has made the actual sales numbers look….well….saggy. Leave it to an analyst prediction to magify the liverspots on Sony’s already battered body.

Nomura Securities (of Japan) states that Sony will only reach 75 percent of its 2007 fiscal year sales target for PlayStation 3 consoles. While Sony has predicted sales of 6 million consoles by March of 2007, Nomura believes that only 4.5 million consoles will arrive in homes around the world. They also state that by March of 2008, they don’t expect more than 10 million consoles sold.

This is possibly one of the few realistic preditions I’ve read from an analyst in quite a long time. The only way this is bad news is because of the lofty goals set by Sony in the first place. Although Sony doesn’t seem to realize it yet, I think the market is drastically different than it was in October of 2000.

    Ewww flabby Ahnuld. Not something anyone needs to see.

    I concur. We didn’t need to see saggy Arnold. As for the PS3, I also think those numbers are realistic and I think a lot of people don’t realize what Halo 3 is going to do in terms of hype during 07′s holiday season (midnight release anyone?). For instance, I think Zelda convinced many fans of the series towards getting a Wii this year, but next year it’s Halo’s turn to sell consoles. In the meantime, I foresee Sony trying to steal the spotlight by pitching their console like uncle Rico trying to sell tupperware with a free ship in a bottle called blu-ray. Who knows, maybe Sony will actually come up with decent games, but the fact remains: that price tag is NOT consumer-friendly.

    While I agree that Halo 3 will sell consoles I dont think it will have the impact you seem to. The 360 is a FPS haven already. If you like FPS you probably have a 360 already releasing a 3rd Halo isnt going to make people who dont like FPS’s run out and Microsofts system. I my self wouldnt play Halo if you gave me a 360 and a copy of it.

    Eep, guess we won’t be seeing any more Terminator movies.
