Sony to Sell 11 Million PS3s By Fiscal Year End
It looks like all that was wrong with the PS3 was the price, because despite a very slow start, Sony has announced that their console will reach worldwide sales numbers of 11 million units by the end of this fiscal year (March 31st, 2008). That’s big news for Sony and the gaming industry, as developers have a lot more incentive to make games for a platform that someone actually owns. Alright, it’s time to place your bets again: how will the console wars end? [yahoonews]

Well if sales can keep accelerating the way they have of late, they just might do it, I hope so, a strong PS3 market is needed to keep microsoft in line or they might put out shoddy merchandise, Oh Wait! they have already done that, a 33% Failure Rate is so unacceptable, I can’t believe people are not boycotting them in droves. The Wii continues to surprise everyone but I believe their bubble will burst in the next year or two. Obviously the next few Months will be very important to Sony & the PS3 if they want to achieve their goal of 11 million World Wide Sales by the end of the Fiscal Year (March 31st, 2008.
It has taken Sony about 11 months to sell 6 million consoles. Now they aim to sell or is it ship about 5 million in a bout 5 months.
Can they do it, I don’t know. I reckonthey will have sold, 10 million by next April.
Assuming a monthly average sales of 400,000 in the USA, 200,000 a month in Japan, 150,000 a month in Europe plus Australia etc…
