Why does nobody support the reason they choose?

I've said the same thing, i made all these threads and if 20 people vote 2 maybe 3 will say why! Look at this thread i made also
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=151451&page=1

Almost 400 votes, Even though 100 people said under 4mil for vita next year only like 4 or 5 people listed why!





I don't know, i've never understood it.  Even when people comment half of them still give no reason.  They just say something short which basically is like a vote.

I actually have stopped using polls because i feel that it disables a lot of the discussion.

I feel ya, I make up threads to see votes but i also want to see why you would vote for it (in detail). Im no expert in the sony/microsoft department but if i vote or say why i choose something i'll have a reason to back up my statement.

Like i said in the vita thread if there is no price cut and no high quality games (god of war or gta) or even sequels (AC liberation and uncharted) and they dont give free memory cards or lower the price vita wont sell 4mil next year. But i believe by 2nd quarter Sony will drop the price (being on the market for a year counting NoA) and maybe bundle some games (maybe)! If they release good games then maybe vita will push over 8mil but i'll go with just under 7.5mil.

People need to just post, especially the ones that pick the crazy choices. IMO.

This 100 times over, as soon as there is a date set in stone for the next Ms console the sales of the 360 will absolutely dry up leaving the ps3 run away with both 2013 sales and this whole HD generation, it's just a tiny gap between the two now , but watch what happens to it when that Xbox720 is shown off.

Edit - I don't click the polls normally because I just read the threads, would rather have the reasons why than the results, if the reason is just fanboyism there is no point to a polls results.... unless the poll is about how much of a fanboy you are :D

I think the PS3 will have a more commanding lead from February to until June. Sony and Microsoft dont are putting out their last efforts for the first half of the year.

If you're talking total sales than the 360. PS3 has no chance of closing theat gap in the next 2 weeks.

I don't know, they usually sell close to the same amount during the first 3 quarters of the year with a lead with the PS3 but then it gets wiped out because a commanding X360 4th quarter.

Next year will be different though because next gen is right around the corner if rumors are correct so X360 wont have that 4th quarter to be dominate.  

The real question is, will the NeXbox have an effect on the PS3 as well?

True. I think the 720 and PS4 will be shown at E3. Can't wait!

Well I'm glad to see some people doing this.  Their is some really good posters on vgchartz and I'll consider you one. 

As far as the Vita it depends on what games are announced along with memory card pricing and a price cut.  I don't know if they are financially able to drop the price though.  So it really dpends on what they announce coming next year before I make a choice on that.  If they release a metal gear solid, gran turismo, monster hunters, final fantasy, or any kind of big hitter wether it is in the U.S., Europe, or Japan you could see some spikes throughout the year.  However they can't just rely on 1 game to do this.  I think it all comes down to strategicly bringing big games to different territories next year to see the Vita successful next year.

Say if they release Gran Turismo for it then itll have a spike in Europe mainly.  A Metal Gear Solid will help it spike in America, and Monster Hunters or Final Fantasy will help it in Japan.  Who knows what they have in store though

I'll go with the PS3. If it doesn't overtake it, it will definitely decrease the gap to next to nothing. Reason being we will have a full year of the Super Slim (only a little plus), the PS3's official price will be $199 for the first time ever (imagine what a $149 Black Friday bundle will do), and finally a few new AAA IPs and a couple of old faces that will draw in plenty of customers.

I personally believe that Microsoft will announce the NeXbox before E3 and then showcasing it at E3.  I dont think the PS4 will be shown until either late 2013 or early 2014.  And the reason I believe that is because if they announce the PS4 to early then the PS3 will suffer with games coming out like The Last of Us and Beyond.

The US is keeping the 360 in good shape, so the lead will not be huge since they both will be down next year.
