| PS3beats360 said: 1st or 2nd or 3rd place is not a big deal. The only thing that really matters, is that you are happy with your console system(s). PS3 can still finish 1st or 2nd place. 360 is destined for 3rd place in 2011. PS3 may even catch up and over take the Wii in 5 years time. PS3 can last much longer than 10 years and it has the technological advantage over its competitors. When the PS3 prices falls, PS3 sales will increase. |
Yeah i agree with you, the consoles just started to hit its stride. a lot of people seem to think that new consoles are coming soon. heres the thing if microsoft releases a new console they cut the lifespan of the 360, i dont think they will do that - they've said themselves that they want another 5 years of the 360.
the possiblity that the wii successor is released soon is also unlikely imo. because the wii dosent compete directly with the HD consoles, and its cheaper price gives it an edge that a new model could not, espeically since this new model would have to compete with the price of the other consoles. - do nintendo really want to be in that situation?? remember gamecube.
and lastly developing games is very expensive, developers have said they want this generation to last as long as possible. this means that the PS3 will have an incredible advantage if new consoles are released, because developers have to learn how to program for new consoles, and that takes time, money, manpower, etc. also lets not forget that since Uncharted 2, several developers are now switching to lead development on the PS3.
