I still see the PS3 when all said in done to outship 360 ( i believe ps3 will be on the market longer than the 360). Besides all 3 machines are now profitable. And besides software on the PS3 with maybe a 1/3 of the PS2 userbase still manages to sell better than it had on the PS2. Examples would be god of war, uncharted, killzone, etc. Besides I think this is actually good for Sony. It really allowed them to step their game up. If 360 did not become so dominant with xbox live then i doubt psn would be where it is today. So all in all this gen has been good for all 3 console makers. |
I agree a difference of 2.88 mil is not much seperating the 2... however while PS3 is winning in Japan, Europe and other parts of the world (by a small or large margin) - its still 10mil behind in the US. and i agree that the 360 and the Wii will be discontinued a lot sooner than the PS3 - which will continue to sell for at least 5 years more - even if the PS4 comes out by then.
so theres no point really arguing about this stuff now, the PS3 is going to be around a lot longer than the 360, just like the PS2 is still around and selling in smaller markets of the world. so its going to outsell the 360 even when the next gen starts in a few years or sooner.
but its still 10mil behind in the US and i dont see anyway of meeting the 360 on that level in the US.
