You just cant admit Im usually correct about my predicitions. I was off for the ps3 WW sales being at 400k, they are going to be 440-450k :D

 You are usually wrong.

 

You predicted 80k for PS3 em Japan between 23/12 - 29-12

You sad: wii 500k WW  between 23/12 - 29-12

And PS3 500k between 23/12 - 29-12. 

Now you are saying that you predicted 400k to PS3 appear to be selling ecen better that you predicted??

 Pfff..............

Ps3 was TOO close to Wii in Europe, newest week sales!

While Wii is still far away in N.A. , it gets 3 millions away from Xbox360!!

i wonder if Ps3 will keep beating xbox360 in 2008, like predictions said!!

also, if the fact that Ps3 was too close to Wii in last week (29 december data) in Europe, is going to mean something, or it's like when Ps3 beated Wii in Japan for just a week.....

what do you guys think??

i think if that if it happens that it will be because the wii is supply constrained...

The PS3 has the obvious advantage of being a Blu-Ray player which clinches it for people not yet decided on the PS3 or 360. The PS3 also has an obvious advantage in Japan where the 360's market is virtually non-existant and in Europe where the Sony Brandname is second only to God's.

The 360 is going to need another price cut to stay ahead of the trend, It clearly can't compete with the PS3 on a level playing field of price.

il admit leo-j deserved his ban for his dumb rant. but he was provoked in my eyes.

he's 15 for pete sake!

with a combination of that and a couple of members "ganging" up on him, it was inevitable. that was just cruel.

if something good happens for 360 "well the wii is doing much better so it doesnt matter"

if something good happens for ps3 "well the wii is doing much better so it doesnt matter"

we get it, the wii is on top this gen. doesnt mean the other consoles cant do well either.

 Good point.  I think I have also done that

Leo should calm down, but so should a lot of the Wii fans. Just state the numbers and let the personal attacks go.

While some predictions he made are going to be wrong, just like some of JL's predictions are going to be wrong, he has gotten some right as well. For example, this past week's sales.

leo-j said:
"Others:200k
Japan: 80k
America: 120k

for ps3, which is about 400k, sales should drop of by 230k"

Yes, his Japan's sales number is slightly high, but it probably will be hit this week with the new year sales. But he was slightly pessimistic about America and Others, which both came in with better sales. And was a LOT closer than some predictions for the past week's PS3 sales. Such as:

"only a 40% drop in others for PS3? try 60% drop. it sells 160k in Others, and that is doing well."

Off by 50%. (Must be where that missing 80k went from Japan. ;) )



Torturing the numbers.  Hear them scream.

Oh wow.. this is funny guys very funny,

@art

Did he say you can take his myspace pic like that?



 

 2008 end of year predictions:

PS3: 22M

360: 25M

wii: 40M

hopefully these numbers show that the ps3 can be console choice number 2 in peoples living rooms right along with the wii... the wii and ps3 can coexist without directly competing with each other...

Sorry I don't agree.  Leo-j's attitude has gotten worse and worse over the last few weeks (months?).  I used to think he was a fervent fan, but a reasonable one.  However in the last little while he's become more and more aggresive and verbally abusive both towards a wii (which is weird since its an inanimate object that really couldn't care less) and people who support it.

Yes, some of the wii fans on the boards can get a bit much at times, but very rarely do you hear wii fans calling the ps3 a disgrace or a pathetic pos, or many many of the other things that certain ps3 fans routinely call the wii.
