I actually see myself as a Realist but realize that others see me as a dyed-in-the-wool Optimist. (possibly Delusional Optimist Why do you think your worldview of the gaming market formed the way it did? My view came from experience growing up with gaming observing and absorbing the happenings of the industry while having moments of Pessimism (yes I've doubted Nintendo before and was proven wrong hard which is why I follow their aims more tightly now). Let's discuss how we formed our views of the industry and how we make these high-falutin' sales projections. John Lucas |
Hahaha)Ok you say you have doubted Nintendo before and been proven wrong hard?umm what are you talking about ?and when Nintendo has just recently turned it around with DS and Wii so ...how many times were you Pessimistic 2? Because if you thought the Cube was gonna suck ..you were right....the GBA micro...you were right so unless you thought the Wii was going to fail(I always thought it had a good chance to be on top due to It serves as a good 2nd system for a 360 or PS3 owner due to Price)it apeals to some non gamers too.Relly I think Price drops are the Key to 360 and PS3 gaining ground but I don't know if either will catch the Wii becase it will always be a great bargain 2nd console...the PS3 has probly the best chance of catching the Wii though due to the Japan market a significant Price Drop and it will sell in Japan easy...and in the US but the 360 will just not sell in Japan hell Erope is paying even more than anyone for the PS3 and it still sells well there at a hundred -2 hundred less they will sell fast...You can always bet that Microsoft and Sony WILL not fail..they can reduce the cost and loose alot of money on the console and have areas to regain that money Nintendo will have to be Very carefull in every generation from now on They are up against 2 of the largest companies in the World and have been doing Ok so far
