@endimion, So, from 41 mln. home consoles sold, 41% are Sony made.
1) 12 mln. ps2 sold in 2006. 9 mln. ps2 sold in 2007. And that is more then ps3 or x360 did in those years.
God of war 2 sold 2 mln. in 2007. So as long as developers will create great games for ps3, it will be on the market for a long time, no matter what competitors. =)
Btw, it`s stupid to IGNORE ps2 sales in market share. In 2007 there were sold 9 mln. ps2 and i`m 90% sure, that those people didn`t buy Wii or x360.
VGChartz Hardware data for the period 07th Jan 2007 to 30th Dec 2007: Console Wii PS3 X360 PS2
2) BUT they make positive effect on PS3 BRAND.
3) then x360 is dead, because PS3 is outselling x360. =))
4) all the ps3 need, is pricecut, MANY people will buy ps3 for 299$. =] PS3 already provide GREAT gaming experience.
5) Wii for now have only 2 Big exclusive BRAND tittles, while ps3 in 2008 will have over 10, x360 also 3-4 games only.
Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...
