Gaming - PS3 vs 360 - View Post

I think the console war will be more or less even this time around, with the PS3 garnering somewhat more of a market than the 360 because of Japan's hatred for American consoles and Europe's slight preference for Sony products. The Wii will probably remain ahead of both of them, but things could change. IGN announced a couple of PS3 exclusives today too, a DOA installment from Team Ninja, a new Disgaea for PS3, and possibly Kingdom Hearts, but that one is more unpredictable. Sony will pick up the ball come Fall and Winter, so I think things will be much closer in terms of sales.

 These are my thoughts, too.

 Wii - Winner

PS3 - 2nd

360 - Close 3rd

Is there anyway for Microsoft to stop the PS3 from passing it? Do you think they need better support in Japan?

It is my opinion that, if Sony had launched the PS3 without Blu-ray, they very well may have launched sooner (alongside the 360), and cheaper (same price as 360), and probably would've won a 3rd console war. I think Blu-ray has hampered their chances of winning this time around with the delays and price hike.
