Well, he still expects the PS3 to finish "comfortably ahead" of the 360... So clearly not fully to his senses.

PS3 and 360 head to head  have released roughly the same amount of software if we exclude the 360s head start.

Ya.....great idea. Lets bend space and time to create an alternate reality in which they released at the same time........dude 360 got a head start and u got to factor that in like it or not. 

PS3 and 360 software are 80% the same library. PS3 leads the 360 in regards to graphics capabilities in exclusive games and PS3 has more exclusive games than the 360. 360 shares a lot of games with PC and half of the 360 exclusives are only console exclusive games. 

 

more like 90% same library. PS3 leads 360 in regards to exclusive graphics......well 360 leads ps3 in most multiplats.........again around 90% of the library. Whats better....having a better 10% or a better 90% library? That was a rhetorical question :) 

Also I dont see an issue with 360/pc titles......they are on 360 and NOT on ps3. 360 gets the edge

PS3 is still priced higher than both the Wii and the 360: PS3 has a couple more price cuts up its sleeve. (and MS doesnt......lol cmon ) PS3 may close down the gap on Wii to around 30m when the console wars are at the end. Overtaking the Wii is more than likely not going to happen. PS3 should over take the 360 in 2011 and finish second comfortably ahead of the third placed 360. 

 

First its funny that people like you actually care about whos last place.......makes you think that you all truly care about sales in order to validate your opinion. People have been saying ps3 would overtake 360 since 2007.......even in 2010. I guess year after year of failed predictions leads you to try yet again with a 2011 prediction lol

lastly......your name is wrong. You cant beat what isnt last place. 





I posted this in the thread "PS3 can finish first in 2011"

Just stop. Seriously.

2007!  PS3 can overtake 360

2008! The time is now!

2009! We've surely got it!

2010! It's coming!

2011! It's here!!!!! OMGAZZZ

Are you just going to keep throwing out years until it finally happens?

You're like the Miss Cleo of sales predictions.  Let's keep throwing years out and then if it happens we can raise our glasses high and say we knew it was coming, we were just "slightly off"

Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe, Sony needs this slice of humble pie so they don't make the same mistakes they did at the start of this generation? The PS3 doesn't deserve to be ahead of the 360. Why?

Let's see

- Their exclusive titles aren't system sellers. Anyone who believed GT5 was going to make a huge difference in hardware sales was smoking a pipe. Racing games don't push systems. Neither do 99 percent of other games.

Do you know what does?

Hardware price.

And do you know who has the edge? Wii 360. Just like they always have.

So it's not some robust science that will carry you to the promised land, to make you stop these godawful prediction threads, and to see the truth

It's common sense, and the amazing thing is that Microsoft still makes more money than Sony because they charge for their online service and get away with it. Why? Because the sales tag at Wallmart doesn't say 199.99 Xbox live charges DLC. Yes, in the longrun there is a fair chance that you will pay more for your Xbox than for your PS3. But will you notice it? No. Sony is still stuck in this archaeic viewpoint where they feel they need to earn their money through hardware and hardware alone. And that's really hurt them in the longrun.

Maybe next generation, Sony will release a system a) on time, b) at an affordable price point c) with the right exclusives, and d) with the right marketing

But that's not until they stop doing what the OP is : living in the past.

In light of recent and older data, I'm extremely curious to hear how you can say this with a straight face.

The software accounts for the majority of hardware sales. Wii with all its  mega hit Nintendo first party games and endless amounts of smaller selling new titles help push the Wii sales. The Wii software games releases are equal or greater tha the amount of games released on PS3 and 360 combined. Wii is  a lot cheaper and easier to develop games for and developers can bring out lots of new games for the Wii.

Just for the heck of it, wanna make a bet that the Wii will be 50m ahead by the time they both stop selling, if not significantly more?

I can only dream...



PS3 will not finish in first.  Ever!  Just get over it, and enjoy it.  It's an awesome gaming console.

Sony does not kill hardware, they will continue selling it after its succesor is out.

And it is awesome hardware, thats why it can climb to #1
