I think Microsoft will win next gen.  cause they have a huge Hardcore base and are moving outmarket with Things that never have been done. New revenu. Like Apple for example. Find a new Market and open up shop.

Only way Nintendo win's next gen is if they Keep Rushing outward  and make a tone of Nintendo games By the looks of 3DS  I dont think thats what they plan.

No company is making any money now a days staying in the core.  Doing the same crap its been doing for 20 years. Sony will will see no growth.

 

Iv picked my horse. X-box next gen market leader. By the end of next gen its going to be somthing like MS95million

Nintendo70million Sony65million

 

What you think?

I hope they learned their lesson like Nintendo did after losing two straight Gen.

lol yeah they know taking on Sony directly is suicide

OT: seems more like what would the hopes dreams of Nintendo and Mircosoft fanboys (not calling op a fanboy) in seeing Sony lose another gen because they won't sell a lot at that price.

but reality regarding the next gen playstation is this, the ps3 was expensive at lunch because it's eternal components where extremely expensive given how new they were to the market and that next gen that wont be the case, that Sony can do a console that's 1080p, 60 fps 3d console for half the price it cost to make, cell processors are 4 times as powerful as the current ps3 cell would cost half what the ps3 cell cost, better, larger blu ray disc with faster blu ray drives and leave no need to search for a new disc medium unlike MS and Nintendo and a more efficient specifically designed GPU, would yeild much better results for 3rd party developers.

the ps4 at launch (that would be 400 dollars to make) selling said console for a 100 dollar loss 299 entry price, but being able to produce way more than they could the ps3, and losing a lot less than they did, that coupled with an easier console to develop for would mean MUCH better launch titles that release a lot sooner than it took for the heavy hitters for ps3 to come out, which would mean a much higher market penetration and higher software sales.

Long term is something Sony longs for, and we can't forget the ps3 which will be selling gang busters in all the developing nations like the ps2 was, future looks bright for Sony

dito on all points

i see Sony releasing on point. meanning games and price. the biggest factor will be advertisment.

despite the initial assumption that the PS3 would dominate over it's competitors

how many people said that AFTER the 599.99 bombshell, people who should not have been taken seriously I hope


Pretty much all analysts. They were laughed at by a vocal minority, and applauded as geniuses by the majority of forum dwellers and industry 'experts'

If there is one thing 4 sure, its that nothing is certain.

Who would have guessed wii ll sell like this, 360 sell so much, or ps3 be in third place. I say anything can happen, next box being the first or wii2 being the last, or ps4 being the first. I think N ll not enter core fight with sony(and now ms) cause in past ey failed, so i think ey ll try to make balance between casual and core, inclining to casual.

 

People forget that this time for ps4 sony ll be in better position than ms. Sony already lowered costs of blue ray and cell(and have much more experience), so only thing were ey ll have to invest more is RAM, gpu. Ey can keep blue ray(most likely will) and put improved version or cell with minimum expenses. MS?? Ey need everything improved especially disc format, new cpu,gpu, ram etc. Especially hdds. This ll pull other questions like paying for xlive, overpriced peripherals. I can see them having headache about price positioning on market.


PS4 DoA confirmed(!) What I wonder is how the hell did it go from next generation discussion to last years Kinect advertisement budget, trolls these days.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

I'd have to by a Nintendo PoiPoi (or whatever) instead of a Playstation 5, it'd be terrible.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=3879752

IF this happened (which is highly unlikely because I don't see Sony doing this again), then I predict LT sales (after 7 years) to be:

 Wii2-105mil

720- 65mil

PS4- 48mil

 

So the 720 doing about the same as the 360, Wii2 down about 7mil and the PS4 down about 12mil...

I remember this sorta thing happening...

*PS3 will outsell its rivals 2:1!*

*Wii will sell less than 30mil LT!*

*PS3 will win because of Blu-Ray!*

*Wii will be dead in 2007!*

*Wii will be dead in 2008!*

*Wii will be dead in 2009!*

*Wii will be dead in 2010!*

*Wii will be dead in 2011!*

 

*PS3 is ahead of the 360 WW Sales!*

*2007 is the year of the PS3!*

*2008 is the year of the PS3!*

*2009 is the year of the PS3!*

*2010 is the year of the PS3!*

*2011 is the year of the PS3!*

*PS3 will outsell PS2!*

*PS3 will last 10 years!*

etc. 

 

I never understood why Sony got soooo much good press and why the Wii (and, to a lesser extent, the 360) were 'doomed to fail'  EVERY.YEAR

Sales trends show that the PS3 won't last 10 years, if it does it will be down to around PS2 levels now, and Sony will be in a real difficult situation...

I'd just like, for once, for the hate to be lifted from Nintendo, heck, ALL the companies and just admit that this gen has been successful for all companies. This year has been very close sales-wise, and because of the quality of all 3 consoles, that's how it should have been...
