Everyone are so hot on Playstation nowadays. Funny. (then of course there are a lot more Sonny fans on this forum than X-boys).

You lack imagination. Ability to foresee the future.

For the tenth time: the X360 has potential to drop the prise which the PS3 has not. Don't you remember what the strategic setup was going into the fall/holiday season? That the X360 chose not to counter the 2nd PS3 price drop, and instead sell on it's stronger game library. That price drop is still unused, and it will come soon (march). Then your mouths will be silent about the PS3 coming 2nd in this gen.

Blu-Ray is going to be massive Avinash, but not until 2010.

Avinash, look at my sig. I will be the first to be happy if Wii sells 200 m, but something tells me it has to stop selling like bread at some point.
I must add that 150 m could be posible, but I can not believe such figures as 250-300 millions as some had stated...

Yes, that's why the expensive PS3 was outsold by the 360 which has a lower price and better library Slimebeast.

OH WAIT!

Many people are going to see the PS3 as the better investment though for it plays video games as well and has plenty of other enjoyable features.

 Wrong again, most people don't care for the games on the PS3, GTA sells to 15 million over and over, that is not a large segment of the popualtion


 Was GTA3 the only game on the PS2? Is GTA4 going to be the only game on the PS3?

Both of his predictions are craziness TWRoO!

Ok if that is your opinion then fine... but your comment about him using those numbers to match his prediction was ludicrous. You seemed to be surprised Rol had predicted something to tie-in with what his sig says. Of course the two predictions match, they are in reference to the same thing after all, one just goes into more detail.



dtewi on 22 January 2008

Okay, I was wrong Twro.

OT: What does your sig mean?

Blu-Ray adoption is going to increase sales Garcian. And with the combination of triple AAA games and a low price, it can sell 60 million.

People aren't going to buy a PS3 for Blu-ray dewi, they'll buy a cheaper blu-ray player seperately

 

 


Ironic that that's the only reason get a PS3 according to the site's Wii fans, including yourself.


Yeah at the moment its one of the cheaper blu-ray players, how long do you think that will last?


 Ah, so the PS3 is a fad? Sounds strangely familiar... I get it now.

 "Triple AAA" games = AAAAAAAAA games? That's a new one. =P

Anyway, the PS3 really has very few guaranteed AAA games announced for it at the moment. The only two I know of are MGS4 and FFXIII, and those were announced well over a year ago. The PS3 will need more than those two games to sustain it throughout its life cycle, let alone increase its sales so dramatically.

Also, the jury is still out on Blu-Ray. It could become the next DVD, but more than likely it will become the next LaserDisc.

@ tombi123: People said the same thing about the Gamecube. Price cuts will help a system sell, but not that dramatically.

@ Machina-AX: For the PS3 to have a longer lifespan than the Wii, it needs developer support. Developer support generally goes to the system with the highest install base. The system with the highest install base is not, and will never be, the PS3, by a long shot.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
