MH4 comes out between June-August Pokemon X/Y comes out Oct (first time in history that All regions get a release same time)

one word pokemon. I don't think any console has a chance beating the 3ds once pokemon is out

Should we compare 2 different segments? Why not compare portables to portables and consoles to consoles?

Hm...March? Maybe on the GoW launch week.

June? MH4 and Animal Crossing NA vs Last of Us. 3DS has this one.

Can't think of anything else

and if PS3 gets a price cut in June (after E3 PS4 hype to keep the sales from diving)?  $200 is a big point to get to (360 has been there for years and PS2 reached it just 2 years into its life).


Monster Hunter 4 in Japan>Price cut. Btw it's bad idea to cut the PS3 price when it's making good profit, they need every penny. Not about units sold, it's about the division staying alive.

The OP isn't considering the Holidays. He knows the PS3 won't have a chance by then. (October is considered the Holidays.)

Yeah I'll change the OP to try to avoid this more.

Don't underestimate GoW. MH is only big in Japan and the total numbers of both franchises are comparable.

GOW ascension isn't gonna move much hardware at all Mh4 WILL MOVE A LOT OF 3DS'S.

Because we have a saturated market for PS3. The kind of people that buys consoles only because of a single game already got a PS3. Now they are grabbing the ones that wait the consoles to get cheaper and for them the game library is the selling point, not a single game.

About the units moved by MH4, I don't think that it will be much bigger than 2 million unitsm and that isn't enough to change the game. Pokemon has a much bigger selling point. But MH sells around 4 million units each. Games like Gears and Uncharted sell much more and aren't considered massive sellers. If MH moves a lot of 3DS than COD will be a complete madness if we think that it sells 10 million with ease every year.

Anyway, 3DS will sell more for sure, unless PS3 gets:

- Massive price cut.

- Gran Turismo 6

- PS4/720 launched for higher prices than expected and PS360 keeping the sales momentum on Hollidays.

A combinations of at least 2 of them would give the year for PS3.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.
