I have a feeling we'll be hearing this same sad story for the next 4 or so years until they announce the PS4. What I don't understand is this constant talk about the PS2's fanbase being untouched. I think sound logic would have you believe that both the Wii and 360 took a large chunk of the PS2 fanbase away. That can basically be proven in the numbers. The Wii is currently surpassing Gamecube total sales as we speak, the 360 will be surpassing Xbox total sales pretty soon, and the PS3 will never reach anywhere close to the PS2's lifetime sales. Anyway you shake a stick at it, both the Wii and 360 will be looked at as successes while the PS3 will be deemed a failure. You can PR spin it all you want, but Sony's "future proof" strategy has become a "future poof" reality. |
Dude, the Xbox only sold 24 million....of course it's going to be easy to surpass it's predecessor's sales! The 360 has sold 17 million, and the Wii passed it easily. I don't see the PS3 ever passing the Wii...but certainly the 360. The PS3 has been outselling it world wide for a while now, if that keeps up of course the PS3 is going to outsell it within 2-3 years. As everybody else has been saying, this is just ordinary PR...they're supposed to do crap like this. |
I never said 360 would surpass PS3 this generation. I said 360 would surpass Xbox, which means they're gaining hardware sales and market share. That sounds like a win to me. The problem is you guys always pit these consoles against eachother instead of pitting each to their last offerings. It's hard for Sony to go from 120+ million PS2s to whatever the PS3 is going to muster(probably 60 million). Losing hardware sales by approximately half seems like a failure. Going from a 60-something percent market share to a probable 20-25% market share is also a failure. So please don't put words in my mouth.
