Demand for 360 & PS3 will rise when:

- The games become compelling enough
- The multimedia features get understood by consumers
- The price drops below $199 for 360 Premo and PS3 80 Gb
- They implement point and motion controls like the Wii

Until then the industry will be status quo

Last Spring a bunch of us had stated that the Wii sales would slow down as soon as demand was met and that the 360 and PS3 would take it over...

Well 1 year later, demand still hasn't been met and its dominating the charts.

I'm expecting Wii to sell as many as last year.

I'm also expecting PS3 sales to mimick 360 sales of last year

And finally, I'm hoping that the 360 keeps similar or better sales. But I have so little trust left in MS's management, I wouldn't be surprised if they cancelled all the SKU's and only sold the new rumoured Ultimate for $699 and then raised their global shipment goal to 35 million for the end of fiscal 2008.

edit: thank you for fixing the pages.

i think it will be ps3s year because of Metal gear solid 4, final fantasy13,killzone 2, little big planet,, infamous, gran turismo 5, motorstorm 2,resistance 2, haze, burnout paradise, white knight story, africa, grand theft auto 4,and many more games coming out that all look amazing. almost every game i listed isexclusive, except for 2.

the ps3 will start to gain america back by killzone and mgs 4.
i dont know if it will ever catch the wii, but i think the ps3 has a very strong
2008 lineup. i think it will catch the 360 in worldwide maybe in 2009.

 It's fine. I'm still a bit fuzzy from christmas!

Okay, despite this being flamebait (Obviously an alt account made to post the bait topic) there is good discussion going on here, so I'll leave it open. I expect the PS3 to sell better than the 360 in 2008, but not to catch it in LTD sales.
