Uh, both this week and last week PS3 lost by about 25K units. I predict that the gap will narrow and PS3 will win again, until the September price cut. At that time, Xbox 360 will outsell PS3, and then after the initial spike, the two systems should sell on par for the holiday season. I don't think PS3 will pass Xbox 360 this gen, but it will be close. It doesn't matter though; they will both share alot of games, and exclusives will go to whoever offers the bigger moneyhat. |
==> I m fixing ur post ;))
"After the initial spike, PS3 will outsell AGAIN the Xbox360 WW during Xmas sales because it is still the cheaper BR player in NA, because Elite is still too expensive, because PS3 80gb > Premium 60gb, and because Arcade will not be able to compete with the Wii that possess too much appeal for the casual crowd compared to the Xbox360.
Overall, the PS3 should be 4.5-4M behind the Xbox360 at the end of this year 08." (WITHOUT PS3 price cut ofc)
(bundling LIPS + BanjoKazooie will not change anything to the poor appeal of the Arcade)

Actually, if the cheapest PS3 stays at $400, we could see some BR players under that price come the holidays, and we still don't know how many people are feeling the need to make that jump to BR.
==> This xmas PS3 will be the typical HD toy to buy for Xmas when people can afford to buy more expensive
product : good games + HD movie
Sure, it costs more but it is also newer and u have the BR player ...
The PS3 80GB may be > than 60G 360, but it's also $100> too.
==> BR player + wiifi + 80gb + dualshock3 it is enought to consider Xbox360 as outdated particularly since PS3 has good games NOW
I'm not saying the PS3 won't be the 360 - just that I suspect it'll be a closer call than many expect.
==> that I agree but remember Arcade had some problem to compete with Wii in term of value.
And, more important, for casual, Microsoft has NO brandname compared to Wii.
Indeed, if Wii' stock are sufficient, I expect Wii to insanely freeze Arcade sales
(LIPS+BK are just not enought to catch the casual vs Wiifit+Wiisport+Mkart+Brawl)
I also dont expect MS to introduce BR player or X-mote : they would have announced it at E3 (they have already announced their whole line-up for Xmas (as Sony and opposed to Ninty))
