You are filtering in what is forecast of PS3 games as a plus, and lack of knowledge (obviously because such knowledge hasn't been broadcast by MS) of 360 games as a minus, and saying "ultimately succumb". The Dreamcast had a far better selection of games in 2000 than the PS2, and look at what sold better... not the one with the better selection. One could say "well, that was the Dreamcast", but the PS3 is looking more like a Dreamcast sales wise so far. It's good that you illustrated the PS3 highlights, but I don't think that alone will cause better sales. Myself, I think a price drop for PS3 will cause incrementally better sales for the PS3 that such a pricedrop for the 360. My logic is that I believe there are more people chomping at the bit for a PS3 when the price is easier to swallow. Having said that, I certainly don't believe "ultimately succumb" could describe the PS3 case against 360, or the 360 case against PS3. Thanks for your response and original article though! |
That is exactly why it's NOT another Dreamcast. The Dreamcast had the games, but most people had already given up on Sega after the Saturn debacle. The Dreamcast was a great console, but it was killed by the reputation formed by it's predecessor. The ps3, however, is coming off of the legacy of the ps1&2. Just like you said, "there are more people chomping at the bit for a PS3." That is exactly why games like MGS and FF, combined with price drops, will improve ps3 sales by quite a bit.
Edit: Also, I discussed the fact taht MS has yet to announce it's new '08 games. If they are truly coming out in '08, they'd be well into development by now. Why wouldn't they show something about them? They broadcast NG2 to the masses but they're hiding everything else?
