Sony desperately needs BC on the PS3.

On a side note, 2008 could end up being Wii/X360 top year after all.

And PS3.

 

Console 2009
Wii PS3 X360
Total
5,717,287
2,773,347
3,082,149
Console 2008
Wii PS3 X360
Total
6,247,282
3,299,347
2,440,742

If the PS3 is down and the Xbox 360 is up and 2008 is what you'd consider the top year for the Xbox 360 then obviously as the PS3 is down the most in absolute AND relative terms its the class of 2008's most likely console to have peaked that year.

 

Yes, you're right, but Sony is predicting to ship a ton of PS3s this year what implies a pricecut, and most likely BC on the more expensive SKUs. No matter how do you slice it, it shall improve hardware sales somehow.

Wii... definitely will be down.

How much X360s MS are expecting to ship this fiscal year?

Its fiscal year, not calendar year. Sony/Nintendo are April/March, Microsoft is June/May so we'll know of their projections then. Also I don't think people could simply say the Wii is down. You'd probably need about 4 pages to scare away all but the most die hard of Nintendo fans.

I don't think you could put BC and likely in the same sentence, sorry.

 

 



Tease.
