I like to say this again and again, but even if the PS3 overtakes the Xbox 360 worldwide, they will still lose this gen.

I think the downfall of the PS3 is legendary. It will be lucky to get 50% of the sales of the predecessor and Sony will never make money with it. There is no other way than to accredit that Sony is THE loser this gen. This is no flamebait, this is just reality. You have to see it from macro-prespective.

Of course Nintendo is THE winner. From last place last gen, to close to 50% market share is awesome. And the DS was never as brilliant as it is today. The Wii might sell 500% - 600% more than the Gamecube.

MS did very well. They will break even with the 360 very soon and they will sell 150% more consoles than last gen. Xbox Live continues to grow. In a few months, there will be more Xbox Live users than the original Xbox sold consoles.

About the PS3 overtaking the 360, I think I heard this before...

It has sold 31 million in 3 years do the maths ps3 will be a 100m+ seller.


yeah, because it will sell forever.

Do you really think the PS3 will sell 10 million per year till 2017? You know that there will be a Wii 2, Xbox 3 and a PS4 on the market years before?!

The allmighty PS2 was released holiday 2000. It is by far the most successful console ever.
The PS2 sold 12 million in the past two years. You expect the PS3 to outsell the PS2 by almost 100% in this point of its lifecycle?!

No way Jose

of course it will sell enough to reach that amount, the ps2 did sell alot more admitedly, but i am betting it will have sales more like ps1's(slighty less) then ps2's.

saying it won't is a little bit silly, ps always takes it's time, but eventually it proves everyone wrong, just like ps2 and ps1 did (admitedly faster).

Excuse me but HA HA HA.....Oh wait you're actually serious about this?

The ps3 will be a 4 year old console the coming November and will have sold not more than some 40 million consoles by then, if not less. Going by sales trend and taking into account such things as price reductions, big games etc. by the time the ps3 will be mass market price like Wii or below there will already be a new generation of consoles and the ps3 will have some 55-60 million consoles sold, well below what PS1 did.

And what idiocy is your claim that the PS takes its time? for sales? In the last 3 years the ps2 sold maybe 20 million units, most was sold during the first 4 years.

the ps3 will sell about 14m consoles this year it's my prediction, that takes it beyond 40, (around 44 ish i think lol), a new generation of consoles will not stop it from selling, just remember what happened when the gc and xbox released after the ps2, it did not slow down.

I don't think sony will bother with a new console until 2012, this gen has cost them too much already, and the ps3 is just starting to gain pace, more people want ps3 now, alot of people thought ps2 was doomed for it's first year, but it proved everyone wrong(that's what i mean by the ps brand takes it's time, sega was dominating at first lol), the difference here is ps3 was way more expensive, and has only just fallen to be an acceptable price, it has better years ahead of it than 2009.

the end of this year 2010 ps3 shall be #2 mark my words.

 



it's the future of handheld
