Does anyone still believe in a major turnaround this gen?

Ps3 can catch 360 easily.


Ps3 will be supported way longer than 360. Heck, look at Ps2. Still has games coming out and still selling decently.

For example: If MS stops support for 360 in 2012, Ps3 will still be selling well into 2014.

The 360 had a year head start but won't last as long as the Ps3.

Sony does not determine how long the PS3 will stay on the market.  Consumers do.

The reason that the PS2 is still on the market is because consumers decided that it was the winner last generation.  Is the PS3 in the same position as the PS2?  No, not even close.  Just like every other second and third place console, support will dry up once the next generation comes.

I already showed earlier in the thread that it is impossible for the PS3 to catch the 360 before the end of 2011.  Even catching up in 2012 is going to be near impossible.  By that time, the next generation of consoles are going to be on the horizon, and the race for second place will not matter anymore.  If Sony does try and hang on with the PS3, they will be doing it at the expense of the PS4.
