Why Sony will not sell 150M PlayStation 3′s

This is why Sony won’t reach 150 million PS3’s sold in that timeframe, first up they are already losing money on every $400 PS3 and have only sold 12.85m as of March (around 10% of the PS2’s 140m).
Then you got to remember that the PS2 was selling more than any of its competitors (Nintendo GameCube and Xbox), today it is the Nintendo Wii that is selling by far the most.
The biggest problem the Playstation 3 will face on its way to 150 million units sold is a possible recession right in the middle of that goal, the credit crunch is affected not just the United States and the UK, but most of the planet.
If your not able to put fuel in your car or can only just about pay the bills, will you be buying a new games console that costs more than it’s competitors?
To get a PS3 to a cheaper price of $200 and increase sales to the scope of the PS2, Kaz Hirai will have to perform a miracle because it would cost Sony too much to downgrade or make the big changes needed.
This is why Sony will not sell 150M PlayStation 3′s in the same time the PS2 did 140M, if we don’t head to a recession there may be a slight chance but that’s a BIG IF.
