I really don't think hardly anyone on this site really understand the potential of holiday 2010 for the 360. 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. |
You completely IGNORED the games coming out for PS3 this year, didn't you?
You want to talk moving consoles? Talk Gran Turismo 5.
As if Halo Reach will sell MONSTER consoles, right on there bud. Most people who are getting Reach already owned a 360 to begin with, it will only get it's boost off bundles. Fable III will move some consoles, how much do you think a Fable game is really going to move, is the game going to be ground breaking?
You completely also ignored one of Sony's biggest things this year, Move.
Or did you just forget them?

living in the past are we Darth Tigris? current trends will decide this race. im sure sony will only counter a price drop. although it may not be wise. hey everybody. it's time to play chess. the board is the 2010 holiday season. heres my take on it.
holiday season console sells
PS3 10m
360 7m
