Forums - Sales Discussion - Does anyone still believe in a major turnaround this gen?

Imagine how cheap the Wii will be by the time the Ps3 hits $250.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

If wii hd comes out will youz count its sale separate then wii or not ?

Id say once all 3 have new hardware out the % will be very different then it is now.


That would be next gen and will be counted separately.

Then i see things changing very much % wise.

Like what?

Don't forget that the more advanced in the gen we are, the harder it is for a company to gain market shares (look handhelds %).

Probably still $250 :P and it'll still win in terms of sales.

 

No, I don't see the order switching at all. Wii is way too far ahead to be touched, and MS have countered everything Sony have done this gen, I believe they will continue to do so



The order will not change.

@OP : I think a turnaround will start to happen as soon as Sony cuts the PS3 price.

Then the PS3 will start selling much more, and it will accelerate with GT5.

PS3 will definitely finish secind or even first in my opinion (low probability still), and 360 will finish last.



@ forza - please think about what you are saying. If the PS3 were to have a price cut next week that would double its sales for the rest of its lifetime, and also the Wii were to halve its sales from this week onwards for some reason.

New Wii sales = 96k
New PS3 sales = 180k

Difference = 84k PS3's favour

current gap between them = 51.01-22.45 million
=28.56 million

Which would take the PS3 340 weeks to overcome at the new rate of sales

Now, explain your post!



He doesnt have to explain it. He just wants it to happen.




Well the Wii sells less and less, it could go much lower than that since Wii is mostly about 'fashion' and the PS3 could sell even more.

But I agree it's a slim probability, I wrote it by the way in my last post.



The fabled 10 year plan?
