Its time to admit it. PS3 will NEVER overtake 360.

It's more likely that the PS3 will overtake the 360 once new consoles hit the shelves - but still - it is still more likely that the PS3 will overtake the 360.

...which is what this topic is about.

Also, Snake is right. It's gona take a while to see how the PS3 really plays out for Sony.

There's only two ways I see the PS3 overtaking the 360. 1) Another price cut

you don't think another PS3 price cut will happen??????????????

MS decides to stop making money and invest in a new console.

if they don't invest in a new consoles and  launch it with Nintendo and SONY new consoles then they will sink and everybody knows this

But there is no reason for MS to rush into a new console and the Playstation brand is reeling financially.

SONY reeking in financially does mean they won't release a new console

How can the PS3 possibly play out? Best case scenario its less of a failure than the original Xbox.

????????????????????????????????????

1) I mean soon... like right now. The 360 will probably see a $50 price cut first and that'll give a sales boost.

why do SONY need to price cut now,they can do it in the holidays

and the $50 that MS will do will give it a boost but SONY will only do if it has a significant and sustained impact

2) My point is they don't need to rush into it. It doesn't need to be released for another 3 - 4 years.

they will release it in the next 2 years for surely.

as Nintendo's next console will be Hardcore,MS won't be able to compete if they don't have a head start

and PS4 will surely be out in 2013 and MS can't afford that

3) Ofcourse they will. Just not in the near future.

THEY WILL release it in 2013 max

why would they release it in near future as PS platforms do atleast 6-7 years before a new platform

4) Like I said, that's the best case scenario. Its been a huge disaster for Sony. It actually hurt the brand.

i thas hurt the brand

but as you can see,even with that,PS3 is within 360 at a higher price

and PS brand is still known far more WW.

1) Well I don't think Sony will be cutting prices this year. If MS drops the prices $50 the gap will definitely widen. But we'll have to see what happens.

2) It could happen. May  also depend on how Kinect performs. No point in even debating this.

3) 2013 seems reasonable.

4) Of course the PS brand is still known more. It dominated the last two gens. Now its in last place and losing unbelievable amounts of money.

And if Sony wasn't willing to lose so much money; less PS3 consoles would be sold, they would have less support, and the brand would be much less relevant or dead this gen.

All the money Sony is losing this gen is damage control and they'll continue to lose. Esepcially if a price drop comes soon.
