PS3 V PS2

I say the PS3 will outsell the PS2. The Wii might as well. The only question for the Wii is how well it will sell when it cost the same as the other two consoles. (that figure will probably be $199 or $179)

Right now the PS3 is tracking the PS2, and if the price drops and games can cone out at the same steady stream, Sony can make sure all have BC (still posable), And this thing stays the cheapest BD player, I don't see why it won't. The market is way up in general.

For all you that say "no way", what evidence are you using to determine that? Currently, it's following in the same foot steps. There is absolutely no evidence to say it won't.

As Happy Squrriel pointed out, every evidence points that PS3 isn't tracking nowhere near PS2. Wii is tracking pretty similarly with PS2. Only by using "statistical error", you can say PS3 is tracking similarly with PS2. You used PS3 tracking similarly with PS2 as proof that PS3 will outsell PS2, but Wii tracking, by that logic, more than 2:1 apparently isn't a proof that Wii will outsell PS2 2:1 LT? Actually, when Wii costs the same as the other 2 consoles at 179-199, means that Wii is outselling both competing consoles atleast 2:1 combined. Since Nintendo is in the best position to drop price. If Nintendo wants to go to pricewar (or Sony and M$ wants), we could be talking about 179-199 PS360 vs 79-99 Wii, and only one to make profit would be Nintendo. So, if PS360 would sell better on similar pricepoint, Wii can always drop in price. PS3 can't stay for long the cheapest BD player, especially when HD-DVD just got discontinued. I don't think the BDA members are happy when Sony is selling its BD players at loss, hurting its partners at BDA, and in the other hand, cheap BD players are coming. The faster Sony drops PS3 price, means that the 59-99 players enter stores faster that they otherwise would. @Munkeh: With what PS3 is going to spike in 2009 and 2010? GT5 and FF13 isn't really much. Rockstar doesn't really have big names besides GTA and Bully, which neither are exclusives. PS3 definately drops down to 300, but what it's going against? 150-300 Wii60, 150-250 BD players, 360 lineup and especially Wii lineup. Without bias of anykind, i can say it doesn't look too good for PS3, in terms of competition, spike for 2008 is actually very fair assumption, 3rd (calendar) year in the market, in 2008 it still is getting 3rd party exclusives and in 2008 it gets the biggest benefit from BD, before the cheap players arrive.
