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:
So, from 41 mln. home consoles sold, 41% are Sony made. 2) BUT they make positive effect on PS3 BRAND. |
90% of the PS2 sales are from people that won't be buying a Wii, X360, or a PS3 until 5 or 6 years from now. They're buying it because it's cheap and there's a HUGE library of very cheap games to boot. These people won't have any affect on any of the current gen systems in the next several years other than possible ports to the Wii from PS2(which are usually crap, but that isn't the point). With very little affect on the current generation, there is no reason to include PS2 sales in market share.
