Forums - Sales Discussion - Still skeptical that PS3 will outsell Xbox360 in the US from Sept-Dec

Here is how its going to go down...
From the day the Slim drops and on, as long as there is adequate advertising, it will outsell the 360 worldwide in every territory.
In all honesty wether you want to admit it or not, there is no real reason why I shouldn't, with the exclusion of the week that Halo ODST drops, but even that may not help the 360...
All in all we will see in time, but the most likely and rational scenario is that the PS3 will steadily outsell the 360 by a fair margin from this point on, at lest until Natal launches, but the success of Natal is yet to really be seen.

I can pretty much guarentee PS3 wont outsell 360 in the USA the next few months so, next theory?

 

Even NPD stated they expect slim to raise PS3 sales 40-60%, which would still leave them slightly behind 360. Not factoring in the yet to be released MS holiday game bundles, ODST,  or the impact of 249 clearance pro's while they last.

 

Going forward I think PS3 has shot it's software wad, after Killzone 2 there's not been a title with as much hype. GT5, GoW3, and UC2 (which most mainstream dont care about UC2) are all they have left. KZ2 was definitely the zenith of PS3 software hype and it seems all downhill from there.

It sure wasn't the zenith in sales figures for that game...



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

Lord - Please, go educate yourself. If that was FUD don't you think starcraft later in the thread would have said something about it instead of agreeing with me. Stop being so petty. And besides, A. that's a Sony forum. B. that ain't FUD. C. I already put those quotes in my post history. And you say you can have a HS diploma in the US... that's yet to be seen.



I never said I have a diploma.
That was you spreading fud.

LOOK LOOK IT'S NOT AN EXCLUSIVE!!! HAHA 360. (yes an overreaction but it's a joke so don't take it too much to heart)

Does it matter if it's not a 360 exclusive?
Did anyone say it was?
what was the need in bringing it up?
Did it add to the thread?
Was you trying to be helpful?

and the way you keep telling everyone what 360 fans think (which is always negative) is trying to discredit the 360 and its owners by spreading half truths and lies.

see... this is where your ingorance comes to play. I never said you had a diploma. I said you say you COULD HAVE a diploma. Complete difference. If you are confusing this simple logic then that explains why you are confusing FUD up. And I did say it was exclusive... WoW was the one who said it wasn't. It's not FUD. You are grasping at straws. Now, I'm still waiting for your apology and acceptance that you talk outta yer ass.

The ps3 will outsell the 360 by 300,000 sept to dec? Bollocks! The price cut puts the ps3 closer to the big guns but its still the most expensive. Thats all mr joe public will look at in these times

I did a letter 'F' with the word can so sure, on that one point you're right you didn't say that well done.

But don't go acting like this means I'm apologising about anything else.
I'm still right about you.

He had selected only cosmetic damage.


what? No, that can't be it. It's got to be unrealistic. If it were realistic then there would be no option for this.

It seems yet another person see's you for who you are

Lots of the Sony camp once again proving their immaturity in here, wah, wah, wah, everyone hates the PS3. Grow up. Excellent posts MindKry, unfortunately you're dealing with people in complete denial and can never accept Sony would shaft them over.


Yeah... we are the immature ones but you are the one complaining about it mimicing a baby cry.... yeah.. real mature there.


Why would I have any interest in discussing anything with this sites most reknowned Sony fanboy troll?  Run along kid.

That's funny seeing as how you get stressed out and start f'ing and blinding.

Also you didn't answer my questions?



Hold on he's been banned?

What for?
Well while he's banned I'll leave this alone as that wouldn't be fair to someone who can't reply.

I guess we'll find out if $300 for the PS3 is the sweet price point that allows it to garner a lot of momentum. I kind of think it will, expecially since it's with a new slim model. It will certainly have easily it's best holiday season to date. Whether that's enough to beat the 360 in the US remains to be seen. The 360 is basically made for the American audiance.

The days of the 360 beating the PS3 in Europe and being somewhate close at times in Japan are probably all but over though.
