Forums - Sales - Will the Xbox ever outsell the PS3 in Others or Japan ever again?

Anything can happen. There are still huge questions whether this latest price cut by Sony will hold sales up (the first one didn't) and how soon MS will cut the price of the 360 and by how much.

Really, any prediction at this point is wild speculation.

This is where I disagree with alot of people on this site it seems. I still think the PS3 has America mainstream.


I beg to differ on this one. Yes, a lot of mainstream people want sports game here so they are happily buying them on the 360 since Microsoft launched a year earlier and Microsoft made Halo a hip game in America so the obvious answer for the American population is 360



What are you looking at, nerd?

In Japan it will happen this Lost Odyssey week or it will never happen.

In others, it's very unlikely but possible. Microsoft do need to break into France, Germany, Spain and Italy to do it though and that will not be very easy to do. I would say that stopping the PS3 in Spain is impossible.



Xbox 360 still has a lot of tricks up there sleeves for EU, so i think: yes

japan, it is almost dead. i would say maybe on a new game realize, but otherwise: no



xbox 360, ps2 are my consoles 

 end of generation predictions: wii 106 million Xbox 360 59 million PS3 57 million

That sounds more like fanboy wishes than actual constructive analysis. The 360 was routinely outselling the PS3 in Others until October when the PS3 received its massive price cut.

Considering that it's almost a lock that the 360 will receive a large price cut before the PS3, the "Other" territories are far from settled. The PS3 definitely has an advantage right now but the 360 will always have the mighty price advantage card... Whenever MS actually decides to play the card, that is. They're really being stingy right now.

When the 360 drops price in EU so will the PS3... stop kidding yourselves with that.

All of you have already had egg on your faces this year predicting PS3 price cuts and quoting the "profit" reasoning.

Um, no. Sony has blown their wad. 12 months, roughly $200 in cuts. Sooner or later, they have to start making money on that bloody black monolith. Continually chopping the price every three months isn't the way to do it.

On the other hand, MS has dropped their price a whopping $50 in 25 months. There's a bit of a difference in situations there.

Keep thinking that. You have all said the same crap previously, yet here we are. The PS3 beating the 360 in Europe every week, despite being more expensive and having an inferior game lineup.

And you keep thinking that Sony can continue with these price drops to keep up with the 360. They have even admitted that they're losing money on the 40GB model. Sooner or later, they have to hold off on price cuts to stop the bleeding.
