It seems like every even year the PS3 has relatively strong sales compared the Xbox 360 during the year but the Xbox 360 has relatively stronger sales during the holidays and every odd year the Xbox 360 relatively better during the year and the PS3 does better during the holidays. Except of course when the PS3 wasn't out.

Year = non holiday. Holiday = late Q3->Q4

2006 -> PS3 not out and the Xbox 360 has a strong holiday.

2007 -> The Xbox 360 has a strong year but the PS3 has a strong holiday.

2008 -> The PS3 has a strong year but the 360 has a strong holiday.

2009 -> The Xbox 360 has a strong year but the PS3 has a strong holiday.

2010 -> The PS3 has a strong year... but the Xbox 360 has started to do better closer to the holiday... to be continued.

It seems that every year for about a year people are certain the PS3 will pass the Xbox 360, then next year people are certain that the PS3 will never pass the Xbox 360... if trends continued. Im not about to rule out the trend of no long term trends continuing and im not about to rule out the possibility it will be broken.

So basicly I think Microsoft will do their massive advertising campaign with Kinect, ESPN, price cuts etc and they will do really well in the holidays because consumer confidence is low and people will pick the cheaper options, Move will be more of a slow burn initially but pick up sometime in 2011 with Sony core games like Killzone 3 and Kinect may slow down at the same time in time for yet another dramatic PS3 price cut for Q3/Q4 2011 so people will be praising how smart/intelligent Microsoft is until of course they change their tunes in the later part of next year like what has always happened. Essentially a repeat of 2008 to 2009...

Agree?

 

 

I own a wii as well but even I could see that in 2009- so far in 2010 ps3>>x360

Anyway from what I have seen GT5 is coming out soon, KInect will only sell to americans so gt5 will allow ps3>>x360 but only in EMEAA and Japan (ww sales will be more than x360).

I think that Kinect is just a more advanced eyetoy copy to be honest and I can't see wii users wanting to upgrade to a 360 and then paying $140 for an advanced eyetoy.

The same applies for the move wii users will look on it as a copy(of wiiremote), even though it's more precise and has augmented reality, they Wont be upgrading and paying out $399(ps3 and psmove) for it. I am an exception as I actually want the ps move for the better precision and augmented reality, I like realistic games, and to be honest the wii let me down on it's promise, even after wm plus came out the support for it has been really poor, so I am upgrading to ps3 and ps move come september.


You're a sock puppet from what I can tell.
