Forums - Sony - November NPD actually good for Sony.

You can spin the figures how ever much you like, but the reality is that the PS3 isn't doing well compared to the Ps1 or Ps2, it's doing around the same as the Xbox360 which is "ok", on the other hand you can't discount the Wii due to it's tech choices and game play style, it's in the race and it's leading by a large margin. You may as well say that the Xbox360 doesn't count as it doesn't have BluRay.

Sadly there is little point in discussing this with Crazzyman as he is simply repeating the same point again and again...without really grasping what you guys are saying.

Crazyyman please stop shouting out (in caps) every single point, it's annoying.

a) I was adressing someone else.

b) You're still cherry picking. Previous stats will not determine the winner this generation. This time around they even seem to be a poor indicator.

c) You're irrational and incomprehensible. Screw off.

@CrazzyMan : So you're basically admitting you're wrong, because you said that if PS3 LTD sales double between Mar 08 and Mar 09, then it'll be the new PS2 in terms of sales. You never mentioned anything about the 3rd year.

Obviously if the PS3 doubles it LTD sales every year for the next 4 years, it will probably beat even the Wii...


Check my 3rd post in this thread.

My point was, if first year sales were low, like PSone 4 mln. it will need 2x time increase, to get 10 mln. and on 3rd year again, to reach 20 mln. yearly.

CONCLUSION. To be succesful console, it has to sell since 2nd(like ps2) or 3rd(like psOne) year with 20 mln. yearly.

x360 FAILED to do THAT. PS3 has 2008 to ACHIEVE THAT.

I guess if the Wii doubles it's sales next year you'd have confirmed your point - actually JL would agree with you, he did say 60 Million.

Please stop shouting, if I was a mod I would sent you a warning by now (hint hint mods!)

@CrazzyMan : Yeah and the 360 has no HD player so people who want a HD game+movie experience don't buy a 360... like that everyone is in it's own league, fighting against itself.
Trying to disqualify the Wii because it's not HD is equivalent to saying that Wii sales have no influence on PS3/360, and that if Wii didn't exist, PS3 and 360 would have the exact same sales.

Further, I have an hdtv, plan on getting an hd movie player when I decide which format to go.  But I only have a wii and only have plans for a wii at the moment.  What's with this people who want HD don't buy the wii?  It's simply the best console now.  And it's not like when I get hd movies, I throw away all of my DVDs.  Now is a transition time.  The wii has a good home.



I see you guys are having fun with CrazzyMan :)

I was doing the same a few months ago, but now I just don't bother anymore. Nothing you can tell him will change anything.

@NJ5:
well, only FACTs can change MY opinion. =)

For now, it`s only their disbelieve.
But, well MANY here were believing, that PS3 will do BAD comparing to X360 this Christmas.
FOR NOW as we can see, it`s doing even better then x360 worldwide.
