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

PS3 will outsell Xbox 360 on that particular month or two then slightly outsell after that, but 360 will still have the upper hand in softwares.



Around the Network

A good part of sales will be people getting rid of their original PS3's for PS3 slims. I can see sales being really good but how many will be new owners vs. owners that are buying another PS3 or trading in their original for a slim?



Poeple always seem to be forgetting that the 360 dropped $100 as well.

If it wasn't for that, I think the PS3 would slightly beat 360 this holiday season, but without it, no.

PS3 will obviously win Japan (Japan is also the only region they have at outselling the Wii this holiday).

PS3 will beat 360 in Europe just barely and be just barely behind in America.

I bet the PS3 outsells 360 in North America until about February/March at the very least, and worldwide for much longer than that.



It's gonna be closer than fanboys think.

There was already a cheaper 360 than both the $249.99 Pro and $299.99 Elite. What will these new revisions do for Microsoft?

Bottomline, you can get a PS3 for $100 cheaper than before. That will have a MAJOR impact on sales.

We will see what happens once the sales figures are out.

I see the slim having an impact on PS3 sales, that much is obvious. But it seems most poeople have expectations way too high.



i actually agre with you cause i know so many people espcially in my school that say wii is the best but then when i ask them which hd console? they say xbox duh it has halo....

Sony has virtually zero chance of outselling MS in the US outside of the next 4 weeks or so. Once ODST hits, it will be MS back on top. The holidays will handily go to MS because of the arcade bundles that are sure to come. $299 is still way to expensive at the moment.

In 2010, MS will probably bury Sony (and possibly even Nintendo) with Natal.

OUS, Sony will be ahead for the rest of the year. However, when Natal launches it will be up for grabs, although I give MS a better chance of winning EU than Sony. Japan is a foregone conclusions so it isn't worth talking about.

This is where I stopped taking this post seriously.

Japapn is still a VERY important market btw, whether you want to admit it or not. For Microsoft to rule this industry, they must rule there as well.

 


Anyone that doesn't think that NATAL will radically shift the balance isn't paying attention or is being deliberately obtuse.
