| superchunk said: Also if you look at this** chart you will see that the curves for PS3 are nearly identical to 360 at the same time, meaning that it is on track to exactly match 360 sales. Also, suggesting that when you level off all of the bumps due to price drops and big game releases, they are selling at about the same rate on average. It's best to always look at the full curve and not a skewed time frame that is for 360 now due to Halo. |
Don't forget, last year the 360 had a huge boast in sales because neither Sony nor Nintendo could supply adequate numbers of systems to stores. This (plus Gears of War) resulted in a lot of people 'settling' for a 360 instead. Sure, a price cut will help, but Sony will not have this benefit as you can bet 360s, if not Wiis will be plentiful. With a weaker line-up of games, they'll still finish 3rd this holiday in NA. Now Europe is another matter and with PES 08, a comparible price and Sony loyalty (if such a thing still exists) they could come out ahead of 360 in the PAL regions
