I dont have a source? I didnt quote any sales. Just said MS hasnt announced any new numbers since thier last quarterly report. Saying the 360 doesnt have any good games this year besides Gears/Forza/Halo is just fanboy trolling. To be honest none of us really know if any of the games this year are any good yet. Some may be great for me, some may be great for you, some may be great for most (not all) and some may really appeal to someone that doesnt have a console yet. We will see. PS3 will not drop to $200. PS3 and 360 will get price drops and 360 will get added incentive with Kinect price drop as well. Last Holiday MS didnt outsell the PS3 for 1 reason and that was they didnt produce enough. PS3 also got a boost from GT5 yeah that game that apparently made it a bad year for the PS3 last holiday. As for this year I am not predicting some blockbuster 360 win. I am saying that through the end of the year the PS3 will not outsell the 360 by some 2.3 million that someone earlier predicted. I do think that the 360 will win the holiday season. 360 is the HD console of choice in NA and Kinect is a more casual holiday oriented sales tool. |
1. it's not trolling, it's a slight exaduration at worst, what good games does MS have besides those if it has so many? and 360 only has 2 non kinect retail exclusive this whole year 3 counting the remake so yea...
2. Equal drop will favor ps3 no matter how much it drops and move will get the added incensive too reasons price drop will favor ps3 (again), 360 already has a 200 skew people aren't waiting for price to drop, ps3 has more games, more good games and a better line up, ps3 has blu ray and other features and is the bbetter built console
3. I actually agree with you here but you are forgetting something last holiday was STACKED in 360s favor, ps3 had a bad year for games for it, 360 a good one for it, and kinect launch with a massive marketing campaign, this year kienct sales are going to push les consoles, there are no games aside from forza, gears and halo to push sales and ps3 has a had a ton of great games to realse, more will release around holiday and it has a better line up
4. if 360 couldn't win holiday last year it has 0 chance to win this year, thoguh I do think it will only beat 360 by 1 to 2 mil this year
