| Shane said: PSP and PS2 will both remain viable platforms for a while, but nothing like PS3 and 360 (PS2's better for the time being, but it will fade). While the difference between $300 and $600 is huge, the difference between $250 and $150 is not so much. |
Yes PS2 will drop of, but this year or next. Wii only needs to creat a good enough user base until the end of 2008. Something that looks really possible.
The difference between 300 and 600 is huge, but it isn't mainstream anyway. So far it seems that 200 USD is the golden line. And what support will PS3 have if it start selling in 2009?
| Shane said: Sega doesn't have too many believers left, regardless of the franchise. They have some very nice brands but need to find a publisher capable of leveraging those brands. |
Every user counts 
| Shane said: PS3 is fighting an uphill battle (moreso in the US than in Europe and Japan), but it's hardly impossible. They sold in excess of 40 million units here the past two times. |
The sales in Japan is terrible, if they aren't fighting a uphill battle there I would say that the sales on the rest
| Shane said: Sony still has the support they gained during the first two consoles. We're seeing this in terms of both developers and current PS2 sales. |
Do they? Where is the new anouncments for exclusive games that will drive sales? PS3 have the support that was announced before the bad sales become apperant. Since then they have even lost exclusive games to xbox360.
| Shane said: If Wii demand grows, what will it grow to? 1.5 million a month? 2 million? 8 million? Maybe they can sell 100 million systems this year. Or maybe even by the end of the summer. Maybe by tomorrow even. |
Well we don't even know what the demand is yet, because supply < demand. But they wont sell 100 million during this year
They don't need either, if they could reach 17 million this year it would be a very good start.
Buy it and pray to the gods of Sigs: Naznatips!
