Come on, time to face facts.................. Sony just played their last trump card (ps3 slim) and all the more worryingly for sony is that they were forced in to launching the slim in order to stay in the game.
(I suspect it was launched earlier than planned too which obviously doesn't help their situation)
Sales have been good for sony lately thanks to the slim (or "last throw of the dice" as i like to call it) but Microsoft still have plenty left in the tank in terms of price drops and appealing bundles ect.
3rd place is beckoning for sony......... bottom line____________________ |
dude you bias is stupid! especially the part about microsoft having more left in the tank! the last price drop hardly raised 360 sales. price isnt a factor for 360 anymore. the only increases 360 is gonna see now are huge game releases.
|
Whats so stupid about it? (people who know me here know that i openly despise sony for various reasons) theres no doubt in my mind that sony launched the slim early due to the batterings that they were taking from Microsoft prior to its release.
Sure, there was a small price cut for the 360, but that was simply done to steal a "little" bit of thunder from the slim.
I stand by what i say........... the slim was sony's "last throw of the dice" for this gen.
Microsoft will beat them, and beat them good and proper.

What you are essentially saying is that Sony can't drop the price of the PS3 any lower, but MS can drop the 360 lower.
And that GT5 and GoW3 won't shift hardware, but 360 still has games that will with bundles.
That is what's stupid about it.
|
Sony dropping the price again anytime soon would be nothing short of suicide, Microsoft on the other hand have tonnes of room for cuts and bundles.
God of War 3 will sell consoles? Thats news to me Carl..................
GT5 yes.......... but apart from a small bump GOW 3 no.
And next year theres the small matter of a TRUE sequel to Halo 3. (you know it and i know it will sell multi millions)
And lets not forget that EPIC are practically in bed with Microsoft these days so its only a matter of time before Gears of War 3 is announced.
As for the rest of Sonys games........... all they have that can sell high apart from GT 5 is FF XIII, (now a multiplat game) the rest of the games like MAG, Heavy Rain, Ratchet and lets say for the sake of it resistance 3 can easily be matched by microsoft with games like Alan Wake, Crackdown 2 & Splinter cell: conviction.
Sorry to say it pal, but maybe its time some sony fans realised that they have finally more than met their match.

ok let me get this straight! beware, what im about to say is gonna make you look like a fool! your telling me that GT5 aint gona give the ps3 a big boost, the first gt on ps3 but the 3rd installment of gears of war and that new halo is gonna give the 360 big boosts when there have already been several parts on the 360? how can anyone take you seriously after saying that!!
|
I already said that GT5 will sell consoles............. but i don't think GOW 3 will. (bump YES, major hardware seller NO)
God of War sold 3.21 million....... how on earth will it be a hardware seller? (Christ, Fable II is already at 3 million+ sales after only 1 year on the market AND Gears of war 1 & 2 are both 5 million+ sellers)
If Fable 2 (Sequel to an origional xbox game) can't shift hardware then how on earth do you expect God of War to shift hardware?
And let me get this straight........... your gonna make me look a fool? Good luck with that pal.
This Gen Microsoft have an answer for ANYTHING that Sony can throw at them........... Bottom line________________________
