I'm with you on this one. In my other thread "theprof00's golden saucer" I ahd three people take me up on that kind of bet. No price drop for 2009 is what I forecast.

Not a chance. Their numbers are all well a good in comparison with the 360's during the slow months, but when the Christmas rush starts later in November PS3 will get crushed by the other consoles. PS3 isn't the Wii, it doesn't have the demand or the price point to go three consecutive holiday seasons at the same price point. If Sony doesn't man up and issue at least a $50 price cut before December, they're going to see even worse sales than last year's rather abysmal result.

They will drop to 300 next February. And dominate all of 2010 with GOW3 FF13 and VS GT. 2010 PS3 destroys the market

 

1. While I think Sony would have at least a small pricecut sometime in 2009, I suppose there is a slight chance this would happen.

2. Do you really believe that FF13, FF13 Vs, and GT5 would all be released in the same year? That's a lot of faith.

3. Can you please define the term "dominate all of 2010" and "destroys the market"? Does it mean that PS3 will outsell Wii and 360 for one month? two months? for the whole year? or PS3 would double the sales of 360 for the year? double the sales of Wii for the year? or something else?

4. Personally I think it's highly unlikely for scenario 1-3 all come true at the same time.

 



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
