Title: *Predict the PS2\'s Userbase at the End of March*
Post by: IronFist on October 08, 2001, 08:17:54 PM
The title says it all.  Predict how large you think the PS2\'s userbase will be at the end of this financial year (March 31st I think).

Make sure you vote above as well as post your prediction in this thread.  That way you can have the glory of being right if you are right. :)

My prediction is 27,500,000.  Yes, it\'s a high number, but I think it is very possible given Sony\'s current position.  And if I\'m right, I will get extra bragging privileges. :)

Yes, a little.  But on the bright side, DMC comes out in less than 10 days! :)

Don\'t you have a prediction Altered?

Oops.  I edited that thread and said that I forgot the poll right when I posted it, but through all the confusion, it didn\'t get edited.  I don\'t know what I did to make it not edit.  Now everything is working good though. :)

Post by: StAnZo on October 11, 2001, 06:51:49 AM
I went for 27 guys.. Sony have such a strong christmas ahead..
Games like
THPS3.. Jak & Daxter.... WRC 2001... Silent Hill.... Devil May Cry etc. etc..

They are just looking much better now, and whilst i\'m in the game shops in the centre,
there are loads of people buying them... I also think that they will be very high on christmas lists
now that the price has subsided considerably.. Sony are going to own this christmas..
X-box doesn\'t really have an answer does it. i was considering looking into one but Sony have
put my faith right back into the machine.. Viva Sony!

Dang Bossieman, why did you use such small text?!  It took about 10 minutes just to read that because it was so small. :)

Bozco, don\'t be so quick to call people names.  He never said that they sold 20 million.  He only said they produced 20 million.  I don\'t blame him for being excited about it though.  It is an amazing number to reach in less than 2 years.
