I expect John Lucas to come in next and call for the hanging of the DFC people because they are not predicting 200 million Wiis this gen. Anyway, I've been saying all along that the race will be close and that the difference between the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place won't be like the previous 2 gens. PS3 is not doomed, people are very short sighted. They predict doom and gloom for the PS3 because of the loss of a lot of 3rd party exclusives, but what people fail to consider is that the new big 3rd party exclusives of the generation will come further in. Games like GTA's success will come along on a certain console and define it (PS2 in N.A. was defined to a big extent by GTA's success). Even barring any surprises whatsoever and no new big franchises starting this gen (really almost impossible, there will always be new big 3rd party games that will come out of nowhere to dominate) then the PS3 still isn't doomed because of 2 things: PS3 outselling 360 everywhere outside of America (right now it's close in Europe, but when there are actually a lot more games to get and a cheaper pricetag the PS3 will surpass it except in the UK) and Sony's first party. Sony is already rolling out a good number of brand new IPs that have potential, take that and couple it with the already established million sellers from Sony and you got yourself a very good amount of Sony only games that are going to sway people into buying a PS3. |
I have never said the PS3 is doomed, but I do not see it reaching number 1 this gen. I could say the same thing about Nintendo. To each, their own.
