| unknown_soul89 said: Okay seriously people saying the ps3 will never outsell the 360 need to do some fact checking, the 360 has been out for a year longer, so if ps3 is on the market for the same amount of time as the 360 it will outsell it (selling about 9.5 mil on average a year with about a 3.5 mil gab) and ps3 sells about 1 million more consoles a year then the 360 does, actually lets be more specific then that 38.1/4= 9.525 million a year 41.7/5=8.34 million a year 9.525-8.34= 1.185 million difference a year 41.7-38.1=3.6 million 3.6/1.185=3.037 years until the ps3 outsells the 360, assuming they both stay on the market |
In three years this generation won't matter becuase it will be last gen while we all have moved on to the next gen. If Sony can't outsell the Xbox 360 before the next gen starts they will have lost. Nobody cares anymore about PS2 even though it's still selling. One thing is for sure, as far as sales are conserned, the PS3 is no PS2 and therefore won't have legs it's longer brother had.
The console war is a race with a finish line, once someone crosses the line the race is over.
I do want to add that the PS3 is not a failure even if it loses the HD war when the next war starts. It's just that Sony fans are so used to be in 1st place with the PS2/PS1 and getting everything first/exclusive, that being in third place is difficult to accept. Great games should be enough and it's not like Sony is going to go out of business or not make a PS4. It just means that Microsoft is here to stay and next generation will be even more competitive. This gen has proven that three consoles can thrive together so we all better get used to it becuase next gen will be similar.
