....And it's the typical group of pro-PS3 owners that make absurd claims that the PS3 only dropped $100, that the PS3 is going to double sales this year, that 07 was the X360's best year and won't do better next year, ect, ect, ect.

What exactly are the reasons the PS3 will do so great, and the X360 do so bad? The X360 has the same quality lineup in 2008 as the PS3. The X360 has the advantage of easily being able to drop the price atleast $50 next year, whereas the PS3 does not.

Care to post something insightful that will justify the PS3 selling 10m+ units next year?

this is coming from the same group of people that said the ps3 wouldnt sell 7 million this year... oh look its already at 8 mil staring 9 in the face..... if it sold 8 mil this year what makes anyone think it cant reach 15 or 16 next year which i might remind you the 360 is at right now...

Yeap, you are right, the PS3 already past the 7 million, but with two price cuts, 4 models, and a couple of packs, nobody took this in account in january... 

 

edit: Nobody was expecting this from sony in the first year... 

Right, everyone expect Sony to continue to be retarded. Too bad they woke up on time. If they are not retarded next year they will sell way more than 10M in 2008. They surely have the game line up to do it and I bet a new price cut mid-2008.

 

Realistically, right now Sony is losing about as much on the 40GB and 80GB PS3 as they were losing on the 20GB and 60GB PS3 systems at launch; there may be some savings but they are far from breaking even. Any further price reductions in the next 12 months will potentially return them to this level of losses and it will become less and less likely that they will break even on the entire generation; unless Sony becomes desperate, I wouldn't expect a price reduction in 2008.

i doubt they are losing as much when first release the esrp was estimated to be 853 last time i checked it was down to 600 something they will reduce costs the same way MS did in 07 come on people same strategies for both companies
