Hey guys I was just wondering that can PS4 have better software sales than the Xbox 720. Well I think so because the PS3 has many growing franchies such as Uncharted, Killzone 3 looks like it's having great legs especially in Americas. Little big planet look like a growing franchise (though they messed up with LBP2). Resistance 3 may do better than the second one as well. Now for the Xbox 720 all they have is Halo which isn't really growing and Gears which is growing a bit. I also predict Killzone 4 is going to have a huge launch looking at Killzone 3's legs. Here is some comparsions:

The new PS3 games have better legs than the new 360 games. For example Gears 2 4.4 million 10 weeks 6.18 million LT. Gears 1 3.2 million 10 weeks and 6.13 million LT. Now lets look at Uncharted 1 million 10 weeks 3.5 million LT! Uncharted 2 2.3 million 10 weeks 4.51 million LT.

No Xbox will have higher SW sales as usual. Their fans aren't as picky when it comes to multiplatforms, they buy everything.



Grimes on 25 March 2011

Let me flip a coin because that will be as accurate as any predictions.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

The PS3 already has higher software sales than the 360 in Europe and Japan, America is the only place where the 360 enjoys a strong lead.

when the PS4 releases (which i dont think will be for another 5 years), i think it will do better in Europe and Japan, just like the PS3 has but at the same time, maybe a bit better in the US, but nothing can really be said for the moment.

the key thing is the price point, how much will they sell a PS4?? if its cheaper than the 720, then it mitigates the price point advantage the 360 has, so its possible, just make the console cheaper in the US and its job done.

although the PS4 wont be out for a long time yet!!

I predict it will come out max 1 year after Xbox 720

The thing is that the 360 was meant to go another 5 years with Kinect, but it dosent look like that can happen since worldwide it is getting beaten week on week. 

so it depends whenever they release. dont forget if Microsoft release the 720 too early then the PS3 will outsell the 360 - i doubt they want that to happen either.

VGC Gold right here... including

"LBP look like a growing franchise (though they messed up with LBP2)"

thats hilarious.

 

The reality here is this...

LBP2 will sell less than LBP, KZ3 will sell less than KZ2.  UC3 will sell more than UC2

Reach will sell more than Halo3, Gears 3 will sell more than Gears2.

 

OT

No idea. probably 720 > PS4


About LBP2 your right but KZ3 will most likely sell more than KZ2 because KZ2 had crap legs. KLZ3 is looking to have some good legs in America which can lead to a strong opening for KZ4. UC3 will pass UC2 becuae of te repution  of UC2. Halo Reach will most likely not sell Halo 3. And I think your right about Gears 3.

Looking at the sales right now it will definelty outsell 360 this year. Unless it has a horrible holiday. Which I doubt.

As the current trend continues, PS4 stands no chance.
