Many here have forgotten the situation in 2008 when the PS3 was only 6 million away and had a ton of momentum because of a 2007 price cut and huge marketing push. Then came September, the 360 dropped from $279 to $199 for the Arcade SKU and, before you knew, the lead was back up to 8 million. You see that, folks. The 360 lead was down to around about 5 million and some 8 months later it was back up to 8 million. Do you hear me? Ok, let me slow it down for you. Sept 08 - May 09 - 360 lead went from 6 mil to 8.4 mil (360 price cut) Sept 09 - May 10 - 360 lead went from 8 mil to 5 mil (PS3 price cut) Its a pattern that repeats and we're on the PS3 growth cycle this time. Come this fall we WILL have Halo Reach, Fable III and 'Project Natal'. We may also have a Slim and a price cut. So what will that likely mean for the game industry? See pattern above. Rinse and repeat. For the PS3 to truly secure 2nd place, we'd have to see something DRASTICALLY different than the pattern that has already been established this gen. |
GT5 will be the differcne. and the past doesn't always repeat it's self. all Halo core fans should have a console by now. sony with it's larger Library (larger then the 360's)this fall will be there biggest advantage. i hope they all have a good season over all, and i don't care about leads. i own a we to. 360's indecline. did you hear that?
