Forums - Sales Discussion - Will PS3 eventually pass 360?

WiteoutKing said:
The PS3 won't pull past 360 until 2009 at the absolute earliest. The momentum just isn't there.

Why would any idiot waste 500 dollars on a ps3? The momentum is there.

In the end this shows me that there is a definite possibility that the 360 will remain #2 in the end. I give a an 85% chance of pwnage over the PS3.

Your thoughts?


You have been hitting the beer a to much, some time in 08 360 will take its place at #3

360 has only one market, its not good in Europe. It costs half the price and has a bunch of racing games and it can out sale the PS3 at double the price and no games, theres niot way to spin it in a positive way for them. PS3 a hell of alot better 08 line up and more specifilcy Sonys 1st party stuff will dig 360s grave.

 


Killzone - Calculate how many consoles the PS3 has to outsell the 360 every month in the following year...

Well here let me do it for you...

Currently the 360 is 5.99 million units ahead

For the PS3 to surpass the 360 by July 1st (6 months), the PS3 would have to outsell the 360 by 1 million every month

For the PS3 to surpass the 360 by Dec 31st (12 months), the PS3 would have to outsell the 360 by 500,000 every month

Now, even I doubt the 360 will stay in second place, but that change will not happen this year, and will not happen next year either... expect PS3 domination to start in mid 2009 (Domination as in 2nd place after the Wii :P)

LOL!

Do you even look at the stats on this page or just go around posting BS??

Week ending Aug 5th in Japan - PS3 number went down 40%

Week ending Aug 4th in Japan - PS3 number went down 11%

I really hope this isn't the momentum you're talking about because at this rate all PS3's will be returned to retailers by Spring 08.

Personaly, I think the PS3 is gonna fly right past the 360. It's never even been a possibility, in my opinion, that the 360 will outsell the PS3 this gen.



If the xbox 360 does take 3rd place ( i think it might eventually) im guessing at earliest 2009.

Many of you are argueing that FF, killzone, msg4 etc will boost sales and all those games well the same could be said about xbox this fall with halo mass effect bioshock, blue dragon lost odyssey etc so i def see it giving a push but outselling 360 that much is hard to see.

Edit: btw the 360 is not compeletly shut down for 08 while at the moment the ps3 has the best games so far 360 does have a few good ones such as fable 2, cry on, and too human etc

But there is no doubt ps3 has a stronger lineup in 08 which i think will give it the boost but wont overtake in 08 unless something else happens



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

It will happen in 08, with the line up they have outsellign the 360 by 500k will be a walk in the park.  While 360 will sale less and less as PS3 takes potential buyer away form it.

Gran Turismo 5 will literally kill the 360 in europe. 
FF13 will significantly grow sales in Japan.
MGS4, Killzone2, GTA4, Resistance2, Socom4, GT5 and the US market is ni happy 360 place.

god its to easy to diss your fanboy ass comment.

you realize the boost was from the price drop, what happens when the good games start coming at the end of the month? A really big boost in sales. The sales boost was the thunder before the storm. And it might just be destructive.

Currently line-up vs line-up the PS3 and Wii have the strongest going into this holiday. Without GTA4 the 360 looks rather crappy this holiday.

 

@leo - resistance is a trillagy. There is a Resistance 2 coming in 2008.

 @Kain - go play Resistance please then say that. If resistance came out at the sametime the original Halo did Halo would have been the one with the 9.1 and Resistance with the 9.8.

ps3 having strongest lineup? wii looks great but lets be honost even most gaming sites all agree that 360 has the best lineup so whos now the fanboy?

So you say having a strong lineup will boost up sales majorly alright so your looking at a huge increase of sales for xbox these next months.

As for resistance being better, i never said it wasnt i was correcting leo on his mistake. And yes your right having a game that has just recently come out on next gen console being better then a game that came out 2001 or something (someone correct me) i would really hope so.
