@crumas2,

1) PS3 launched at 600$(less then 10% had 500$ price), while PS2 had 300$ price. BUT, PS2 had a PRICECUT to 199$ in May 2002, or only 3rd year since launch. WHOLE 2001 PS2 had price 300$. NOW, i really BELIEVE, PS3 will get 300$ price this year. So, on 2nd year, PS3 will have 300$ price(or half of launch price) = just like 150$ would be a price of PS2 in 2001, BUT ps2 had 300$.
THIS a BIG advantage for PS3.

2) Bullshit. Loss few, gaining MANY.

3) 120Gb still will be having BC, not to mention, There will be software BC in 40GB model by the end 2008 or 2009.

4) which have WEAK line compared to PS3 in 2008. PS3 outselling x360 WW, which has 2 games pack-in and cost 50$ less. EXPLAIN.

@Oyvoyvoyv,

I know it has good 3rd party, but the others have similary good games.
WRONG, PS3 has BEST 3rd party exclusive games in 2008.

HERE are numbers form 1st year of each system LIFE.
System LIFE begins since system is availble FIRST time on the market, not since release in other regions. It`s system problem, if it didn`t have simultaneous launches.
You can compare PS3 sales to x360 and wii, but PS3 had 4 month later launch in Europe. Then how market share is divided by TOTAL numbers on FRONT PAGE, when ps3 has 4 month disadvantage in Europe?



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far
