| nightsurge said: How do you figure that the PS3 is going to sell 8 million from August thru December and the 360 only 6.5 million when the 360 has been outselling it and is looking to continue that trend into the holidays (where the 360 with momentum has had a big advantage over PS3 in the past)? I'd say your figure for the 360 is way too low and your figure for PS3 too high for that time period. |
PS3 last year had a slim model AND price cut that allowed it to raise and sustain a higher sell through rate.
360 had a slim model in March. If there is no price cut in these remaining months, it will begin to drop in sustained sales and while increasing in YOY it won't match PS3's sustained levels.
If 360 does get a price cut, it will have an even larger increase, however, PS3 will undoubtly match the price and therefore simply match the increase.
Plus, looking at the future game lineup and only looking at exclusives, I see GT5 being the bigger console pusher of anything these two are putting out, so PS3 will have a larger demand, imo.
