| TheFogOfWar said: You seem to have serious tunnel vision, everthing going magically MSs way and thast it. As if the other two will just lay down and let them win. They were out first in Europe at a good price but now they are 3rd there, PS3 at its much higher price caught up and surpassed it shows how weak MS really is across the pond and world wide. MS will be back to 3rd unless they rush hardware again and manage a decent price advantage. Simply ask your self if they all cost the same and launch at the same time, why buy MS ? |
I seem to have tunnel vision, but you just ignore things all together..
PS3 is $300, 360 is $300, there is no price difference, so I dunno what you are talking about there. Also MS is generation more profit off the 360 then Sony is the PS3, and still selling as many units, so how exactly is MS losing?
When PS3 first came out, it really lacked a good software lineup. I didn't get mine until 2009, and honestly, before Killzone 2 there was no real reason to get a PS3 over a 360. Price alone is not the reason why the 360 has been selling on par with the PS3 over the last 4 years. At the start price may have been a factor, but RRoD likely counter balanced that, and the fact that the PS3 was the cheapest blu-ray player no doubt helped early PS3 sales. If PS4 and 720 launched at the same time (which I doubt), for the same price, and both consoles are similar like they are now, I don't see any reason why the 720 can't do better then the 360 did now. That's not the subject of this thread though.
I only suggested that Forza has the potential to expand, with the poor reception GT got (poor for GT). 360 dominates Americas, and due to domestic influence, MS will likely dominate the region. So Forza 4 could become bigger then GT5 in Americas given the proper advertizing. That won't budge GT5 lifetime sales much, and Forza will struggle a lot more with EMEAA sales, but with some heavier advertizing, Forza could increase in EMEAA sales.
Next generation if MS pushed Forza and made games more appealing to European gamers, they could grow in EMEAA, and thus grow the Forza franchise.
