In response to "To put this in perspective, this would require it to sell 23.5M units each year for the next four. In its first four years, it's sold 32M. -- nm" by Reagen

The idea is that the PS3 is on a ten year release plan.

Which is just complete BS. The least selling console of a generation doesn't last ten years. Hell, the best selling console ever (PS2) just barely lasted that long.

The market dictates how long a product sells, not the company providing the product.

PS3 still hase price to work with, the 360 & Wii have already spent most of that sales capital - scorpion Mar 9, 12:50 8
- After three and a half years. if the sales were going to skyrocket, they already would have. - Inigo Mar 9, 12:53 7
  - Problem is, that in order to do future titles, the 360 is goingt o have to have a hardware update, or a new generation, much faster than the PS3. - scorpion Mar 9, 13:01 2
    - No, they really won't. Sony will release a new console within a year of when Microsoft and Nintendo does. - Inigo Mar 9, 13:06 1
      - I'll take that bet on 2 years. What are they going to add besides power? - scorpion Mar 9, 13:39
  - it did outsell the 360 by 2M in the past 52 weeks. But at that rate it'll just catch up in 2014. - Reagen Mar 9, 12:56 2
    - And with Halo: Reach looming... -- nm - David Mar 9, 12:57 1
      - Natal as well. -- nm - Inigo Mar 9, 12:58
