The thing is though going through this thread people are assuming soon as we hit jan 1st 2009 the PS3 will start to instantly sell more. If we stay at say the 360 selling 100k a week more (i know it is higher im just saying it wont be 200k+ a week in January/Febuary/March) would mean at bare minimum 4 months before the PS3 price cut. So if things are at 100k a week that could mean by the time the PS3 price cut gets here the 360 could of made a 2009 lead of 1.6m units ahead of the PS3 already. This is the key thing people are forgetting. If the price cut is really coming in those who were going to buy a PS3 will hold off which means the PS3 numbers in those months prior to the cut will be even lower. There is a high chance the 360 could be 8.5m units away from the PS3 by the end of march. If that does happen the 360 won't need to do a price cut because it will take the PS3 a year at least to just take back the 1.6m it sold in the previous 4 months to the cut. |
Someone sees the logic. Also you have to wonder if the price cut will bring the PS3 above the 360 or just to parity. If it sells even with the 360 then it's game over for Sony because they will never catch up.

Yep. Even at an advantage of 6million it would likely take the PS3 2 years, at least, to catch up. Once it hits 8 million, that almost certainly adds a third or fourth year to the formula. Does anyone think we'll still be talking about the 360 vs PS3 come 2011?

My opinion is that the Wii's popularity will keep PS360 competitive for years to come. What will a Wii2 look like? a PS360 with a wagglemote?
