| AnveL said: it's not dead just will stay at no.3 in US for this gen but life time worldwide might be no.2 or even no.1 in the end let's just wait and see... |
Yeah we'll see.. I think its a pure fantasy to think Sony will end up 2nd and especially 1st.. Looking at current and past trends have you figured out the INCREDIBLE Numbers they'll need just to acheive 2nd place within 4 yrs? The magic just isn't there if you figure those numbers and in this economy its even worse..
If you google and read what insiders are saying that Sony wants to get their Next Gen system out ahead of MS this time you're looking at the PS3 and XB being phased out around 2013'ish sometime.. Looking at past trends, headstarts help or seem to alittle, also a console that was in 3rd place or 2nd place stayed in that place the rest of it life.. PS2 has a 1.5 year headstart on the Gamecube and was up by how many million after 2 yrs? Look folks you can dream all you want but the 360 and PS3 are FIVE YRS old.. yes the PS3 was launched a year late, but the keyword is LATE.. Developers has both consoles in their hands an entire year before 2006 ( when both planned on launching and only MS did).. The PS3 will never last as long as the much LOVED PS2 which was Sony at its best launching a console in the perfect storm..
