In Europe it beats even the Wii. The only console which is a failure is xbox 360. It has yet to reach the 10 million mark. It sells 4k in England and 3k in Japan per week ..lol. ps3 did quite well in March in NA because of Motorstorm , and God of war 2 might have already surpassed the 2m mark. With games like Lair, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and clank, MGS 4, devil may cry 4 ps3 would take total control by the end of 2007. |
You are seriously dillusional.
PS3 does not beat Wii anywhere. It definately outsold Wii in Europe for March as that is when it launched, but there is no way you can assume that will be the case from here on out.
At this point none of the systems are 'failures', ok maybe 360 in regards to Japan.
PS3 didn't do quite well in NA. It will again, be lower in sales than all other consoles. Probablly even the ps2 again, just like February.
As for the upcoming games. We shall see, so far every person who has said this has been wrong. No game has done 'well' on PS3 yet. No million sellers. No system pushers.
As for the article in general, is this really big news. It should have been obvious that Sony's game division was headed for a huge loss this year with the release of the PS3. Probably a smaller but still a lose next year as well as that will probably be when they might start to turn profits on the hardware. Of course that will be dependant on pricing. If they are forced to drop price due to MS or other internal factors it might not turn a profit until 2009.
