It's gonna be a Loooooooong train ride, but it could possibly manage catching up to 360 in a couple years, though not at their current rate. They need to pick up more steam than just what they have now. | Despite the higher price and percived perception that it has no AAA games the ps3 is besting the 360 in all territoies according to vgchartz. Imagine what all those games plus a 100 dollar price cut could do? |
Well, sure, but imagine what the same $100 price cut for the 360 would also do. It's not like pricecuts only work for Sony. Lets face it, Sony is still behind 360 by as much as the Wii was last year. If Sony wanted to catch up to 360, they'd basically have to constantly match or outdo Wii sales for the next solid year.
I agree the PS3 has been doing consistently better than the 360 since last christmas, which is why I say eventually, but I just don't see a few exclusives and a price drop as being enough to pull it up to Wii sales rates.
Something to keep in mind is that last generation, you basically had the same thing, but with PS2 in the lead and Nintendo was the one counting on exclusives to keep itself in the lead against the Xbox. Even with the NUMEROUS exclusives that Nintendo had and used, they ended up falling into last place. PS3 has even fewer iconic exclusives to work with right now, and are even farther behind than Nintendo was with the Gamecube.
Sure I think Sony has the potential to do it, but saying that a few exclusives and a price drop are going to be enough is being more than just optimistic.
