| Fei-Hung said: well you can say the price drop will help, but then there will be a ps3 price drop and then there will be a slimline ps3. these things will just counter each other and the only thing stopping the 360 sinking at the moment is price drops and buying exclusive content.
If you look at some of the most anticipated games to be released in the future, the majority of them are Sony games that ps2 owners who currently own a 360 are waiting for, or ps2 owners who still havent upgraded to a ps3. games like FF, Killzone, Tekken, GT and the long line selling singstars and buzz games that the 360 has zero off. It's also important to look at what the competitors are doing whilst these 360 sales have gone up. are they dropping their number of sales? is it just as big of a deal if the 360 sells 10k in a week, where the ps3 and wii sell 50k in that week?

I am always hearing that PS2 Users will upgrade to the PS3. I doubt it. Not every SNES user bought a N64. Even with the franchises like Mario Kart, Zelda or Mario released. The same thing could happen to the PS3 and their franchises. MGS4 did not work out, GTA IV either.
Sure FF will boost the PS3 sales especially in Japan, but is it gonna be that huge and sustainable? The previous Final Fantasy XII sold about 5 million units on the PS2 with its incredible Userbase. Actually Gears of War sold more units than the last FF, without a existing userbase in Japan.
This is no trolling.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
