Everstar said:
360 will beat it its has a 5.5million lead that has been growing over the past month and should only continue to grow over the holiday season

WII: will overcome 50 millions... for sure!
XBOX 360: will not reach 50 millions<=It has already 3 years in market & after all the price cuts, its sales are too slow!
PS3: will reach the 50 millions if it has a price cut at 300 euros.

 

 This statement is so WRONG, it is comical.  The 360's sales WERE AHEAD OF LAST YEAR'S PACE before the PRICE CUT!  Do people check ANY friggin data before they post nonsense...Nevermind that this VERY SITE has the data to disprove your statement...PS3 had a nice rebound in 2008, but the current trand for it isn't looking good for the holiday season, and that;s a major period for console makers to pad the profits.  360 will be near 30 million by the end of the year, and it will reach it in the first qtr of 2009...at this rate, PS3 will be lucky to see 20 million in that time...without a price cut.

I still think a 299 ps3 would end this console war, thats the ps2's entry price.

There's that whole thing about profits...you know...shareholders..etc.  sony isn't a charity organization, and with all the eggs they placed in the PS3 basket...talking price cuts for it to boost sales is not feasible right now.  I'm sure a $1498 Wii would demolish the PS3, or a $99 xbox 360...so talking price cuts in some vaccum of reality is fruitless.

^A yellow PS2... was that a special edition or is it a dev-kit or something?



I don't know if either is gonna reach 50 million so no answer. the systems are too similar, and too many games are being multiplatform to keep people from having reasons to own both.

And I just don't see how last gen we had 120 mil PS2's 30 or so Xbox and 25 GC.

And now your expecting to see 100+ wii's and then some 50+ for each 360 and PS3. Not gonna happen

 

seems like 360 has been sitting around 20 million for so long.  and PS3 is only at like 16 million.

XBOX 360: will not reach 50 millions300euros.Xbox360 unfortunately after the price cuts has slow sales for the goal=50m. Maybe I'm wrong, the future wiil tell I'm not fanatic...I have all the last gen (xbox,ps3,Gamecube)...From this gen I have (for now) Ps3 & Wii! But I recognise the power & value of xbox360!


wow how will the ps3 increase it sales ,it can't drop the price because it losing money. How can people look at the ps3 and say it doing good. It just lost it biggest game (ff 13) in the us which mean that the ps3 will never pass the 360 in the u.s and the 360 is now beating the ps3 in japan . They will lose this holiday season and will finish in last

show any proof that the ps3 sales will increase or when there next price cut is



The PS3 can get to 50 million before the 360 if the PS3 wins this holiday season.

The 360's outlook in Japan still looks bleak. Despite being significantly cheaper, the 360 is outselling the PS3 by fewer than 5k already. It is very likely that a price drop for the PS3 will be enough to drown the 360 lift. Also, other than The Last Remnant and Star Ocean: The Last Hope, what other titles will boost the 360 for years to come? FFXIII is currently not for the 360 in Japan.

Other non-english speaking countries seem to prefer the PS3. That is not favorable for the 360 at all in the long run.

US is the real struggle. The 360 can not afford to lose.
