The biggest issue with MS is Japan.
|
PS3's fast dropping there, and seems the slim effect's wearing off faster in Japan than anywhere else. Weekly it's now about 20k ahead of 360, which is admittedly better than last year (it was around 10k weekly then). I don't think Japan will make all that much difference in the scheme of things, it's a lost cause for MS and a struggle for Sony. Really, it's a market both should be worried about imo.

I know you couldn't wait to reply, but I was talking about Q4, where it won't sell 20k, right.

They blew their load last Q4 (slim+FFXIII). It's only going to get worse in 2010, PS3's already peaked.
Though in fairness, things are even worse for MS/360... they blew their load in like 2008. :/

We said the same thing about the Wii in 2009, and look at the numbers they put up in Q4.
PS3 can't peak at $299, calm down.

It's not $299, it's 29800 yen. Japan's also the market which price parity between PS2 and PS3 have always been closest (PS2 MSRP is still 16800 yen iirc), price sensitivity has never been much of an issue there.
They already played slim and FFXIII, which were by far their biggest cards. Nothing notable coming up comes close to either really (GT5, Versus, Arc, etc).
