In USA I can see in the long run that the PS3 will outsell the 360 but it will take a long time, 2010 about. I think that the lead the PS3 will have in Japan and Europe will be bigger than the lead the 360 will have in USA by July 2009. |
you are talking about christmas season I hope ??? because last time I checked XB had still about a milion more console in oters.... and it took almost 10 month for WII to catch up with 360, beating it by a lot for a while now... the numbers are going to drop after christmas and be about equal for a while.... so wait a good while before PS3 can even think about saying they own europe (like they do in japan)..... MS is not giving up in europe they have way more maniability about an eventual price drop, and they have everything to announce videogames wise for next year... and I'm prety sure they'll find a couple thing that will interest europe....
I'm not saying PS3 can't win.... but they are not there yet.... this holiday season is highly unrepresentativ it's the first christmas for PS3 in a PS2 zone... XB is doing better than last christmas... sometime next year will be the time to say which way it's really going for now everything is possible both way....
and don't pull the MGS GT etc... on that one.... next year can be full of surprises good or bad for both console for all we know... we could have MGS or any other exclu announced ported on XB.... have some great exclu coming for either console.... or the opposite XB exclus going on PS3.... 2008 will be the turning point for PS3 or XB in europe... but it will be the real test for PS3 if they can or not keep up in that gen race... but until now I still don't see PS3 coming back... not that they don't have the games or the hardware... but they are just running late imho... and every suposed savior until now turned out being wrong.... thay just failed commercialy imo... they won't be able to keep it up long enough... at least noway they can sustain the financial path MS can take if they want....
because everybody is talking about MS shareholders who should be pissed... but once again i'll repeat it... MS shareholders are not just beting on the game departement from MS and MS corp is increasing their net profit over the past 5 years... were sony is decreasing it... MS does (from the back of my head) something like 14 billion net profit and sony something like 1,5.... they simply are not from the same planet.... and Sony has way more to lose than MS... hell MS could allow themself to lose for 3 generation without being in trouble...; Sony can't... that's why i'm saying I think they might be running late... and if they are not they are really close to it... they have to have a turn and they need it now... by the end of 2008 it will be too late....
all that's it's my own opinion...but MS having advance and more "drifting" power than Sony are facts... and that itself if the customers are not really picking a side will make the difference by itself...
