Pachter: 31% of worldwide software sales will be PlayStation's |
Ó
Despite predicting that the PS2 will not have as much influence in the market in 2009 like it used to, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter still believes in the PlayStation power, saying that the brand will account for 31% of all the games sold worldwide in 2009.
Continuing their current push for internal development efforts, the PlayStation brand will still not secure significant third party exclusivity. Regardless, Pachter believes that the PS3 will be the top seller, picking up the slack for its older brother, the PS2, that will no longer be putting up significant numbers.
In Wedbush's annual Interactive Industry report, Pachter cited the huge 2007 to 2008 jump in software sales for the PS3 to be an indicator. From 29.6 million units sold in 2007, PS3 software sales ballooned to 62.4 million in 2008. Although the PSP also experienced a sales increase during the period, Pachter believes that it will be the PS3's time to shine this year.

who have waited this long to buy a PS3. I have all 3 systems HBC Wii, 360 Elite and 60GB PS3. My favorite systems are my DA CFW PSP, HBC Wii & DSi because it's nice to have full control over the media and hardware for once but my PS3 gets the most use because of the Jave PS3 Media Server. I have no idea what I'd do without it!!! Multiplatform owners FTW!!!
I meant "Java PS3 Media Server". I also forgot to mention my Acekard 2i for DSi:)
thanks for remembering to include that information, you letting us know what you own really added to the article about game sales. Again thank you for your insight and I look forward to all your future posts
Well jee, maybe if I was a rich bastard like you, I'd have a nice PS3... The only "current gen" thing I own is a PSP. Bite me.
And house prices never go down as well eh Sony? Christ there's some real BS artists out there...
ever thought that this guy might just save hard like i do myself? i'm not rich but i like my gadgets, and i don't see anywhere on this site that its wrong to share what systems you own! jealousy is an awful thing!! I own two ps3's, a PSP, DSlite and i'm a carpark attendant! thats hardly a well paying job!
i really hope ps3 will shine! its just a great system so much better than the 360. 360 was out longer and each time a 360 is sent to be fixed it counts as a resale. if those numbers didn't count ps3 would be on top for sales for the next gen consoles. even though right now it's really close to 360. ps3 ftw!!!
I have PSP (2 of it) 1000 and 2000 version. PS3 160 GB ( I use to much space XD ) Wii (Owns!!! TvsC !!! awesome game, Mario games owns!) I kill my 360!!! I hate it!! Ring of DEATH I WANT MY MONEY back MicrosofT!!!! NO ds but planning to buy it when Golden Sun 3 comin out! And dotn forget we all got PC!!!! the best platform!!! I got well pay job I work hard!!! so I earn those *****. most of time Im play Wii, PS3 and PSP (monster Hunter G or called by american Monster Hunter freedom Unite!!) OSU!!! Salut guys!!! Have a nice day! XD
Thanks Skygunner I cared so much about what consoles you own, and now you told me, thanks for enlightening me. Some people will have waited this long because maybe they maybe weren't interested in the product on release (Because maybe they had sense to wait for the price to come down) or couldn't afford it and lets face it recession (Though companies like Sony are fairly resistant to it) will effect people buying a luxury item. Btw, no one cares about your consoles.
im with slackbabbath here, a ps3 would be great, but money is a serious issue, so don't make narrow minded assumptions please.
omg u lucky beasts! some people got laid off at the worst time in these parts! been applying everywhere, even krispy kreme's dammit *cries* *sigh* PS3 80gig PSP 1000 DSLite (practically new, bought it from a friend for $65, with mario 64 DS, mario kart, and.....CoD4......LOL!!!!!) lucky for that deal, or i wouldnt of bought a DS! chea, i got a cycloDS......the DS is doing fine, a few won't hurt! at least im going to buy 358/2!
Sometimes I'd like believe that I'm some kind of modern day Robin Hood. You are welcome:) All I was saying in layman's terms was that I'm up to date on the current gen and that the PS3 does EVERYTHING that a console is expected to do especially with the Java PS3 Media Server:) Idiots
has to brag about what consoles they own, or if they have well paid jobs or not, just don't come down on folk that save their hard earned cash into buying what they want to buy! besides, it keeps people in your local electronics stores in jobs!
You know what man, im not going to flame you on that post. You basically just posted and said you enjoy your console, and I dont see anything wrong with that. But it isnt hard to believe people havn't bought one yet, because the economy is down, and people are having to watch what they spend money on. So buying a PS3 is the least of many peoples concerns right now.... and yeah, I love using my PS3 as a media server as well. It really makes you feel like you get your moneys worth when it has as many features as it has.
