Forums - Sales Discussion - Will PS3 eventually pass 360?

Christopher_G2 said:

I think the PS3 has a good chance at passing the 360. As the price comes down, more and more big games like Killzone 2, GT5, and God of War 2 come out, and as blu-ray penetrates the market more, the PS3 will see sales go up. More PS3's were sold in 2008 than 2007, and more will be sold in 2009 than 2008, and more will be sold in 2010 than in 2009. The system is one Sony could ride for 7 or 8 years without a new system because of its technology.

 

Say Microsoft releases their next system late 2010 and it costs $500. The PS3 by then will be down to $250, maybe even down to $200. Sony coud ride for two or three years with a relatively cheap system and be really successful. I really think that by 2016, even though Sony will have a new console out for a few years by then, the PS3 will be still be relavent in some form in the market. There will be no comparison between the logevity of the 360 and that of the PS3.

Microsoft is not dumb enough to release a console for >500$ like sony, and also with all the loss per PS3, sony will not be droping the price within 6 six month, at least.

Nope, 360 will win. I'm confident :)



more ps3's have been sold than 360's this year, although sony's slowing down lately because of 360's price drop



I don't think it will.



Christopher_G2 by this time 360 price will probably fall to less than 100 euros...

If it drops to 299, and is bundled with GT5, KZ2, etc.. its going to outsell the 360.

Next year the PS3 has a significantly better lineup than Microsoft and Nintendo combined, we will see whether or not that actually matters. This year it was clear games didnt matter, but price did.

 

You don't know what games Nintnedo and Microsoft have coming, they don't announced them years ahead of release. You should know that by now.

 

You should also know as the months and years pass games become less irrelevent in pushing hardware.

 I look at it more like this.

2006 -  360 wins, incomplete Ps3 year, so really means nothing.

2007 - virtual tie, they ended within 2% of each other.

2008 - virtual tie, will probably end within 5% of each

Of course you do, its called twisting things.

2006 - 360 sold more than the PS3

2007 - 360 sold more than the PS3

2008 - 360 will sell more than the PS3

 

Thats the facts.
