Huge games next year for ps3 + price drop = huge sales. (We've seen it before, history repeats itself) 360 is tanking hard, down 33% on the year, will be down 40% next year in my projection allowing the PS3 to surpass the 360 in November. Even if current trends held firm with Ps3: (-25%) and 360: (-33%) the consoles would finish dead even for 2013. I don't see this happening, the PS3 has more room to work with for price and plenty of big hits coming, it will finish with a comparable year to 2012 albeit still down YOY. You are using suppositions to substantiate your point - we do not know of net numbers for either product. The initial losses were comparable IIRC. No, you aren't comparing 2 IPs, you are comparing 2 franchises' sales figures from 2012 - One such franchise released 2 years prior, the other franchise's games released this year and 1 year prior. If you cannot understand what's so illogical about that, perhaps you should seek a rudimentary logic course. |
IMO the sales for non holiday months will put PS3 within 500k of 360 come october 2013. We shall see I suppose.
Your using the lack of concrete data to sweep what we do know under the rug. PS3 2006-2009 losses far outweigh its profitability and probably will never make a net profit. 360 however has a chance, allthough it isn't quite there yet. Either way we know that 360 has made more profit this gen, since its been so since 2008.
My sig is comparing 2 rival IPS and what each is bringing to the table in 2012. Not my problem when they released. Nobody said this was fair, industry hardly is. But above all else its about two franchises that get people talking, thats where your flattering parody doesnt get it.
