The PS3 is following almost exactly the same line as the 360. If people consider the PS3 a failure for selling the same as the 360 then surely the 360's a failure too? Personally I think all this generation's consoles are pretty successful.

 Agreed, especially when the 360's only competition was the PS2, of course people will say that Sony had to take some desperate measures to acheive this, but that does not matter


actually if you take the time to zoom in you'll see that the ps3 is actually outselling the 360 by about 300k http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=X360&reg1=All&cons2=PS3&reg2=All&cons3=PS3&reg3=All&weeks=60

One thing for sure it will break 9 million somewhere in the next two weeks..

After all it was a okay year for PS3 especially because of the lovers in Europe.  The only thing that PS3 really needs next year is RPG's to attract more customers especially in Japan.

 Actually it may take more than two if sales plummet



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

I don't agree, the ps3 is considered a failure because it is the console that came after the most succesful console(ps2), so it is a failure compared to the ps2

However, the xbox360 came after the xbox, which will be outsold  by the xbox360, so it is a succes comparing it to the original xbox,

and i dont agree with you... saying the ps3 was gonna sell 18 mil its first year just because the ps2 did it is stupid... where im from you have to prove yourself 1st to be called a succes not the other way around.... I'll admit the ps3 had a bad year.. but now its doing a heck of alot better than all these so called know it alls predicted....

 of course i am refering to sales by now, i don't know what will happen in the future, i'm not John Lucas. So i meant, ps3 is a failure by now.

 Although with the inacuracies they will be about the same. But anyway, the PS3 has not had a terrible first year, although it is still poor



URNotE on 26 December 2007

what happened to the people saying the 360 was gonna murder the ps3 this holiday season worldwide even without japan?? competition is always good for the industry now if all of us 360 ps3 owners would stop ignoring nintendo to make competition even better then we're good
