It is getting harder and harder for HD DVD promoters to EXCLUDE PS3 by convenience. Every PS3 is a 1080P BD Player.

binarymelon · 07-26-2007, 07:45 PM

Does anyone else think those forecasts are a little high?

CptGreedle · 07-26-2007, 07:50 PM

Beats me, but I heard the sales for PS3 went up over 100% since the price drop.
Also, I use my PS3 as a Blu-ray player, in fact that is why i bought it. So to exclude it from sales figures to show that the HD-DVD players outsell Blu-ray players is an outright lie!

)

I agree 100%. I used my PS3 ( around ) 90% of the time for watching blu-ray movies.

jermwhl · 07-26-2007, 07:58 PM

Same here. My PS3 is primarily a BD player. Only about 2-7% of the use accounts for gaming for me.
I own 29 BD's and only 3 games...I intend on buying many more BD's but very few games...

They can say the PS3 numbers don't mean anything...but it doesn't matter, the BD sales speak for themselves!

raginranger · 07-26-2007, 08:34 PM

While I greatly hope those numbers are accurate, I find it hard to believe considering the last time I checked wikipedia it had the PS3 as having 1.4 million units shipped. This is also the same number that was cited in an IGN article in June. I'm sure sales have gone up alot since then, but it is unlikely 3 million have been sold in a month.

Yes they do. My PS3 is my primary player. I own only 2 games so far, but have 59 Blu ray movies.

What does it mean when sales go up 100 percent? Does it mean player sales doubled? Went up 100 fold? What? Never got that one.

It would mean they doubled. If they were selling at the rate of 100/week before, now they're selling 200/week. Numbers purely fictional of course.

baccusboy · 07-26-2007, 11:17 PM

Thanks... thought it seemed more like Blu-ray player sales have more than doubled.

cdot2four · 07-27-2007, 01:00 AM

im buying my PS3 next weekend i cant wait

mcy_999 · 07-27-2007, 02:01 AM

4.48 millions is the total worldwide sales up to 6/30, before the price cut. U.S. sales after the price cut jumped 135%. The July sales number should be very interesting to watch.

If you sold 100 units last year, and this yearit went up 100%, that would = 200 units sold

If it went up 50%
Total sold would be 150

If it went up 20%

Total sold would be 120.

Does it make sense yet?

supersix4 · 07-27-2007, 05:05 AM

I mean everyones bound to find at least 1 blu-ray they like

shug7272 · 08-02-2007, 03:28 PM

There is another price cut comming, bet me on it. Sony has always cut the price after about the first year and they have yet to cut the price (the 60 gig to 499 doesnt count, not price drop, just a little added value) People have always been able to get the 20 gig in the US at 499 even though they are hard to find. I think gamestop online still has them for sale.

Yup, so anyway expect a 399 ps3 this holiday... maybe lower.

KenThompson · 07-26-2007, 07:51 PM

Its good news. The more PS3's sold the more BD movies we will be selling hastening the demise of the HD Dud.The quicker Dud falls into oblivian the faster BD becomes mainstream.

not realy if they happen to lower the price across all regions and may offer free incentives. to go along with the sale of the PLAYSTATION 3 like more than (1) free game..maybe even more than (2) free games. with free movies to boot.

akadkins · 07-26-2007, 10:48 PM

X-Box 360 has sold 10+ mil, but that's to 5 mil customers since everyone had to buy a second one when they got the red light of death :-)
