Wrong gen bro. Wrong gen. The PS3's year six could just as well outsell the 360's. They've virtually outsold the 360 year for year. They just haven't outsold them in total numbers (essentially making up for being a year behind). If the 360 and the PS3 launched together based on numbers, the PS3 would be ahead by quite a bit. |
... gen doesn't matter. Sales are sales regardless of what gen they happen. WiivsPS2 sales prove that a system can initially outsell another in alligned launches and still sell much less lifetime. What that means is just because a system's first few years were better doesn't mean its last few years will be. I guarantee you the ps3 won't ship 15mil this year like the 360 did last year.
Ofc I am not saying the ps3 has no chance of outselling the 360 lifetime.What I am saying is its pointless to try and compare alligned launches as some type of proof that the ps3 will outsell the 360 because the facts are the ps3 launched a year late and that will never change and that has nothing to do with what future sales will be. For the past 2 years 360/ps3 sales have been nearly identical and total shipments are actually in favor of the 360 despite the fact the 360 is an older console. Yes the ps3's first couple of years were stronger than the 360. That doesn't automatically mean its last few years will be as strong as 360's will be.
