Forums - Sales - BHR-3 keeps badgering me... so... when could PS3 overtake 360?

MikeB on 06 April 2010

@ kowenicki

Reading back from a few years before the PS3 slim launched, you would be see formulating this prediction with "I anticipate a PS3 to be released somewhere in 2009".

He said: "this year it will have a slim"

The latter reads far more like it has already been confirmed.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

PS3 vs 360 sales

like you said average the christmas time will change everything. PS3 hasnt lost any steam its just christmas is over. But I agree that atleast 1 1/2 year the Xbox will be on top.

After the stock increase, yes I do


as usual you will be wrong quite soon.

I doubt it

I don't.

k so when the ps3 outsells the 360 this week in the americas, you can come back to this thread and tell me how I was wrong.


who said this week?  There may well be some pent up demand that will be satisfied during April.. but in the medium term.. yeah.. you'll be wrong.. again.

prove that he will be wrong..please!

The 360 Fans are always like "oh but PS3 had GoW3, the shortages dont exist"
But they seem to forget that the 360 had a 129$ Arcade deal in Canada the same week and the 50$ Giftcard deal, when you buy the Elite Spring Bundle (with forza 3 and halo odst for 299) which alone is fking cheap

this week you could get 360 arcade with a free controller for 160$ on amazon and dell but nobody is talking about that, only about the ps3 having exclusives like GoW3 and heavy rain in the last month


and canada is.. what... ? 10% of the americas market.  no big deal.

Yeah, ignoring the rest of the post like always

please kownicki, dont respond to my posts, such dumb answers (imo) just make me sad, i mean, how can someone like you be a contributor?

The XBox 360 shipped 38.7 million units by the end of 2009.
The PS3 sold to retail 33.5 million units by the end of 2009.

That's a 5.2 million gap.

The XBox 360 shipped 600K less units in 2009 than in 2008, if XBox 360 sales drop again by 600K in 2010 and the PS3 slim is able to achieve 15 million sales for 2010 as expected by many the PS3 will have overtaken the XBox 360 by the end of this year by a few hundred thousand units.

Lol, 360 drop by 600k again, even when this year it will have a slim, price drop, and console rebranding (and Natal)?  Not gonna happen.

PS3 15 million this year with no price drop, slim, or console rebranding this time (only Move this year)?  Not gonna happen.

An awful lot of assumptions you have there.

1. There's no guarantee that the slim will launch this year.
2. There's no guarantee that the 360 will have a price drop, especially if Microsoft plans to bundle Natal with every console.
3. There's no guarantee that Natal will move a significant amount of consoles.
4. There's no guarantee that PS3 won't have a price drop.

Also, I'd like to point out that I believe comparing the console moving potential of Halo: Reach vs. Gran Turismo 5 is silly. Halo has already had Halo 3, Halo Wars, and Halo 3: ODST all released on the 360, there really isn't a Halo fan that doesn't already own a 360. PS3 has Prologue, but there are millions of Gran Turismo fans that are waiting for Gran Turismo 5 before picking up PS3s.
