| selnor said: Good to see PS3 sales increase over christmas. I expect them to drop to last throughout the year again though. However, Look at the game attachment sales on this site. Gaming wise for Sony this is serious trouble. Call of Duty 4 has sold 4.3 mill on 360 and only 2.6 mill on PS3. Uncharted has only sold a measily 1 mill. Ratchet and Clank 750,000 The orange box is also dire on PS3. My point is I take an educated guess that 30% of PS3's are sold purely for the Bluray films. It's the cheapest way to view Bluray. And these people arent interested in the games side. This poses a big problem for Sony. Developers will be reluctant to bring everything to the console. And with these attachment rates so far behind 360, Microsofts machine remains firm favourite for devs first choice. And for that matter It's definately the gamers system. It's a shame because the PS2 was so good. Hell I still play mine now. Another problem Sony have is that the porn industry is and will always be exclusive to HDdvd because Sony turned them down(same thing happened in betamax era). So HDdvd will never fade away because of the porn industry. Where Sony go from here I dont know? |
It was the cheapest. Now there are players for $249
