Doesnt GT5 prove this once and for all. The single piece of software that was supposed to change hardware sales failed to change the trajectory. Unless a totally new experience comes out that brings in people previoulsy not interested in any particular console as long as quality software continues to be released the console sales will change pretty much status quo. Barring that it is price changes and new dynamics (like Kinect) that will have the only effect on the hardware sales ratio. |
True. The only game the PS3 has on the way that can push PS3 is FF XIII VS. the XBox 360 still has another HALO game on the way. Plus Gears 3 bundle will move a few systems. That's about it though. I think the PS3 will do well in the U.K. over the summer, but it will be match by the XBox 360 doing well in America. Only Japan will get the PS3 a slight edge until the holidays roll in and then the Wii will dominate, casuals will buy lots of Kinects with even more software and the PS3 will once again be a distant 3rd. Sony only hope is to hang on the FF XIII and maybe Last Guardian until the holidays. They tried it with GT5, but the was pretty much a failure.
