| RolStoppable said: What a bunch of nonsense. Expending the capabilities of the Xbox platform, Kinect and Xbox Live aren't the reasons why the typical console lifecycle was defied. The reason why I am saying this is because it's likely that the PS3 will show a similar sales line once it's done with its sixth year and Sony's console has none of the three things above. Actually, the PS3 removed capabilites (like OtherOS and PS2 BC), had fall its motion controller on the face and PSN... well, I don't want to go there. So it's two other factors that are at work here and both apply to the 360 and PS3. |
This is NPD data, not worldwide. In the US the PS3 has already had it's max selling year and is flat/declining.
Even worldwide it is down YoY and unless they play some big trump card other than a price cut at E3, I think MS is going to runaway with sales again this year while the PS3 stays flat or drops some more YoY.
