The Xbox360 will outsell the PS3 2nd half of this year world wide.
May as well go against the grain eh?
Reasons?
1. Awesome games that cater to a different audience this year (JRPG/RPG) and not shooters. Different audience = different market to sell to = more sales.
2. They can make a price cut and still be profitiable.
3. They are in the next best position behind Nintendo to utilize motion controls. Because A, they have one foot firmly set in the mouse dominated PC world. B, They have launched 3 hardware SKUs so they can be flexible and modify their offerings to suit the market, C. They can afford it.
4. They look like they are going to update their console lineup @ E3 so they can raise the specs to compete better with the PS3 technically. Wifi/HDD size etc.
5. They haven't had a price cut recently in North America, yet they're still going strong so they have the chance to grab the Sub $299 market share before Sony gets there in North America.
6. Come Jasper RROD will be a distant memory.
7. They don't have to raise their sales by much to beat the PS3 week on week averages and if they win this years Holidays substantially the PS3 will never recover. |
The 360 fired all its best shots last year and the PS3 still managed to outsell the X360 by 1 million consoles for 2007. In 2008 the PS3 has a better game lineup and the PS3 will sell like 6 million consoles more than the X360 in the second half of 2008.

Well, I guess they're reloading and firing again. Are you going to say this time next year that the "360 has fired its best shots in 2007/2008" and so on?
You know what? I consider the PS3 to have the "far superior" Shooter lineup. Yet I make this prediction anyway. The FPS market it tapped, you won't see huge growth in that area from now on. So its like going into the goldmine after the Xbox360 took the best nuggets.
RPGs are the area where we can see greater growth from now on.
