See how no one shows reasoning for this? Just because when not a lot of people are buying gaming consoles, and Sony has no big games, that means that Sony will lose?

And do you think Wii owners won't buy a PS3 along the side.

Lets look at the possible next year line-up for the PS3.

Year starts off with DMC4 (you may say its multiplatform, but i think it will sell equally or better WW on PS3 because of Japan.)

Then we have LBP, then Killzone, with Home's release further in the year with will attract Sims fans immediately, which has sold quite a bit itself.
Socom Confrontation will most likely be released during the summer months, with GT5 and FF being released at the end of the year.

The Xbox needs to sell ALOT more than it is now to compete. The differences between the PS2 and PS3 were huge last year, no doubt. But as of now, especially with the expected price drop to 299 next year, how can Xbox or Wii stop people from buying the games they like?

Come on. Both FF and GT5 will sell better than Halo. The PS3 will have an install base of atleast 20 million consoles by next winter. Those games are the same games that won last gen for the PS2, including GTA of course. Unless those games have huge issues, its going to happen. What does either Wii or Xbox have left to stop those

 1st: Comparing next year's lineup is silly, the PS3 has moved a lot of games back to that period and MS and Nintendo have a few games announced but by tradition the info on those releases hasn't really been decided or released yet.  So of course the PS3 looks like it will have a better lineup in early '08.  It might turn out to be the case anyways, but without compelte info this is the purest form of speculation.

2nd:  I am not great on software data but it seems like the chance of FF or GT5 selling anywhere near Halo 3 levels is a bit unlikely. But we will have to wait and see.

3rd: The PS3 with an install base of 20m by next Winter..which would be what early/mid Nov '08? sounds plausible with a nice uptick in sales, but  I suspect the PS3 might be breaking 20m installed around Jan/Feb of '09 though.
