| Mars said: Jan 1st 09 360 is on is death bed. Even the biggest vg fanboys cant deny its fall and the fact it hit its peak with Halo3 and that theres no where to go but down way down. Its VERY simple. Huge releases like MGS4 GT FF will push PS3 hardware way beyond the 360 during their releases, then xmas 08 will come where the PS3 brutally out sales the 360 by many millions world wide. Also 360 wont hold on to its only strong hold (shooter heaven USA) when Sonys got the likes of MGS4 Resistance2 Killzone2 Socom Confrontation and Socom4 as Exclusives. |
I don't see how 360 is on its death-bed: It's 2nd biggest game has yet to arrive, and will steal alot of PS2 users. (Yes I'm talking about GTA4).
MGS is a big game, but no monster seller like GTA, FF and GT. probably around 3 million sales of which I expect a maximum of 500.000 new users (still a nice boost).
The problem for Sony is that the REALLY BIG games don't arrive this year: FF and GT. Until then the line-ups for both consoles are more or less equal. I'm sure PS3 will sell more than 360 this year, but it won't close the 7 million gap this year.
Also I kinda missed the transition from Sony fans bashing Wii to suddenly a 360 bashfest....
