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.

Natal's going to bury Sony & Nintendo? Are you paying attention to what you're posting?

If not, I'd say give it a try...

Sigh, where do you people learn to read?  I said probably bury Sony ( probably = >50% chance ) and possibily Nintendo (possibly = something greater than 10-15%).   

At this point, the HD wars (and maybe the whole market) in the US is MS' to lose. 

As long as it deliveries on its promise (which is not guarenteed hence the lower than unity probilities), NATAL completely changes the landscape.  As a strategy professional and long time gamer, in my expert opinion NATAL will be the single most influential event in gaming since the introduction of the 2600.

Ignore Jede3.

He counters reasonable arguments by acting like they are nonsense then gives you own special brand of nonsense.

And I'm surprised it took to the second page before someone used 'the list'


isnt that what i said? lol this is such a great example of people not knowing what they are talking about.

I don't think Natal will do anything because you need something to hold rather pretending you have the item in your hand...its just not cool...i like motion plus the best right now because it has shown that it works perfectly 1:1 in a up to 4 games... then comes my second preference which would be Sony's stick because it just looked better..it had better tech demos and it just looked like it would deliver like Nintendo's did. But with natal its going to be hard and like it wouldn't feel right also how would you turn and walk/run and shoot......

i think that ps3 will outsell the 360 WW and it will outsell the 360 in europe and japan by a large margin and in the us it will be a close call as to who sells better but as for WW it will outsell the 360...

Yep you.

 

You was disputing it when you said 360 fans claim the pro is the best selling model.
That's what you said not the pro is the best selling sku otherwise you would have said "the pro is the best selling sku, we worked it out on here"
BTW I was responding to the guy responding to you.

 

well ok a bit to you as well.

You just proved the second and third line in my message.

I were disputing(LOL)? No. What I said was Australia said it was 50/50 and the people here claim it was the pro. The only way for you to be correct about "it being proven" is to show MS saying so. Otherwise it's speculation at best on your part.



Lord Flashheart on 26 August 2009

You wouldn't say "PS3 fans say..." you use their speculation as fact as it goes with what you're desperate to believe.
After all the attacks and fud spreading you do about the 360 using a phrase like that is only to dispute something because you don't believe it.

We have to take your posting history and what we know about you into consideration when talking about phrases you use which is what I did

Also I said "well worked out" after proven.
As that is what has happened I am correct

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

The reason Natal wont affect sales much is because Natal is coming out a while after Nintendo's Motion Cam (UbiCam) and the expected timeframe for Sony's motion controls. Nintendo has the casual market in lockdown, they won't be migrating over just on the sheer fact that they already own a Wii, which has Motion Plus and will have the motion camera in 2 months time.

Sony fans won't be switching over to the 360 because - they're Sony fans. They are very loyal to their brand.

In the end, Natal will provide motion controls for 360 userbase, but it won't do much to expand their marketshare.
