| mitsuhide said: PS3 overtakes X360 sometime next year....when i have no idea just sometime next year.The price of the 80GB is obviously going to drop to $499 when the 60GB sells out in NA.There will be another pricecut on the PS3 next year to $399 probably during March when Sony has always dropped the price of the PS's.MGS4,GT5 and possibly FFXIII will boost sales alot for the PS3 and by next Christmas it will look alot more appealing then the X360 even if the X360 was at $200(elite).Yes the X360 has good games too and MS hasnt announced much for next year but nor has Sony really whats TeamICO,Insomniac,TeamNinja,JapanStudio,Eat Sleep and Play what are those studios doing for next year.TeamICO might be working on ICO2,TeamNinja on Heavenly Sword2, Insomniac on Resistance2,Eat Sleep and Play on GOW3 and at least 2/4 of those games will be millionsellers my money is on Resistance2 and GOW3 but they are obvious the other 2 depends if they are actually being worked on. Fable2 for X360 will sell 1million at least.Banjo Kazooie3 will probably sell 1million.Alan Wake might.Halo Wars i think will have bad reviews and reck the Halo series in one move but will sell 1million because its Halo(whats the big deal with this game).Too Human looks promising but others probably wont sell 1million. At the moment i think most people can agree the PS3 08 line up looks alot better than the X360 08 line up and that coupled with the pricecut to $399 will be very good for Sony and the PS3. |
Why would a $400 console with fewer games (overall, not just for 08) be more appealing than a $200 with more overall games? I suppose it is possible that the PS3 could overtake the XBOX360 in christmas 08, but your $400/more appealing than $200 console hypothetical is unrealistic.
