| Signalstar said: According to this site's estimates the PS3 is only a few months or even weeks away from passing the 360 in lifetime sales. Of course these sales are just estimates from this one site based on its unique tracking methods. However when Wii Sports became the best selling game of all time according to VGC it was BIG NEWS. The story was carried by newspapers, G4, new programs and many other outlets. I believe its one of the biggest stories in the history of VGC. Do you think a similar thing will happen if (when) the PS3 passes the 360. Do you think other gaming sites will carry the news. What about general online news sites and newspapers? Could this lead to increased scrutiny from outside sources. Will it prompt a response from Sony or MS? Thoughts? |
It's tough to say. On one hand the PS3 has managed to sell better then their competition but on the other they haven't been able to do it in the single most important market and were only capable of doing it becuase one specifc country basically black listed the competting product . They also have the financial side of the story that just doesn't play well at all.
I guess if you wanted a headline you could write "PS3 accomplishes hollow victory of sales, but at what cost"?
