Finally a voice of reason

Halo 3 came out last year. What does that have to do with 2008? His Wii Fit thing is on, but he just glossed over a gaggle of PS3 games coming out this year, and he glossed over M$ "Supply problems", and the fact that they were outsold by PS3 last month in NA(and around the world since december), but somehow he's a "voice of reason".

lol.

His comment about PS3 being unable to overtake the Wii and the lead between the 360 and the PS3 being very formidable (at its current sales rate it would take about two years + to overtake the 360)

Judging by the website the article was posted on, I think it only discusses the situation in the USA. So before you two start a flamefest, keep this in mind.

Perhaps, but even when taking WW sales into account, just look at the front page of VGC you see that it pretty much holds true even then, WW PS3 in the last two months outsold 360 by about 500K and was outsold by the Wii by about 1 million, at that rate it will need over two years to outsell the 360, and will not be able to overtake the Wii ever

 Sales rates can and do change.  Even though at current rates, it would take 2 years for PS3 to outsell the 360, I think sometime mid-to late 2009 is going to be more likely the case worldwide.  MS will cut their price, Sony will cut their price as well (they were able to profit last quarter).  Unless MS really has something that will get a different group of people to like it as much as the American Halo group, I don't see them not being destined for third place.

 

Oh yeah, and that article you provided, COD4 has taken over Halo in terms of popularity. 

 Sales rate change, sure, as they can change for the 360 and Wii as well, which are both closer to mass market pricing than the PS3, I feel that I am being generous in my estimate of the PS3 sales rate

 

I wasn't referring to the Halo 3 comment part of the article when i called it the voice of reason, just the Part about the 360 and Wii leads being formidable, and the unlikelihood of PS3 getting to first place
