They still believe the earlier prediction by Billy Pidgeon and even add a new chart.

 

The reason why this bothers me more than anything else is that they assume the PS3 will suddenly start selling like the Wii has been in 2009 ... The PS3 to date has seen massive price reductions, the release of the biggest game of the generation, and the victory of Blu-Ray and is still selling at less than half the rate they expect it to in 2009 and 2010. Where is the justification?

In 2009 the PS3 will still probably be $300 or more, Blu-Ray will be far from a well adopted format, Wii third party support will be exploding, and we may be in the middle of the largest worldwide ecconomic downturn in over half a century; why is the PS3 going to take off in this climate?

everything you said here is not true.

 

PS3 had only one price cut not "massice price ReductionS"(and that casue the weekly average to go up 2-3 times) .None of the big hitters have yet arrived(fist one is the MGS4).I am not saying these will casue the PS3 to explide but I m just pointing that your argument is not right(exagerated)

 

your argument is biased ,,,how do you know nintendo third party will explode?i m not saying it won't but we won't know that for now.

Do you really believe that anyone who thinks the Wii has a very strong chance to outsell the PS3 this generation is biased, and that the most likely scenerio, from an unbiased point of view, is that the PS3 has a good chance of winning?

...and that we're biased for calling this article out, while you aren't, despite the fact that you're one of the biggest PS3 fanboys on this site, and sincerely hope that your console will win this generation?

 

I hope you enjoy defending your predictions now, because in a year or so, you'll have no choice but to move past the denial stage. In fact, at this point the denial stage is a running joke on the internet. All your friends are past it. Why can't you move on? How small does that string of hope have to get before you let it go?

It's just sales figures. Nobody is flaming this article because it's fair. It's terrible, and the people who wrote it....well, let me tell you, do you really trust this? Would you bet your life on it? Cause I believe the smart money would be to bet your house that this prediction didn't come true, at this point. That's just me though, so you have your opinion, but to me, you're wrong, and time will prove it so.
