Forums - Sony Discussion - PS3 install base to overtake 360 in EU on Summer of 07'

@ elendar

No. No one said that. No one has ever used that term. Ever. Coined by many to generalize and undermine a group of people.

P.S. How's those Call of Duty 4 sales for PS3? Huh?

Sony said that PS3 outsold X360 3:1 last week. However I'm not sure whether it's true on what week excally they were talking about. If it would be true than outselling X360 overall should be easy.

I must be missing something where are people getting this weeks numbers from? Last weeks # only show +5k

While many people may not use that specific term it does represent a wide spread belief by Sony fans and people in general that this generation will be similar to last in terms of market share. In essence, last generation the PS2 dominated with a massive market share. Some people expect in the end for the ps3 to match that market domination. Thats how you get sonydomination. Will it happen? I doubt it but the belief and hope is alive in many people. As to CoD4 sales for ps3 I haven't looked recently but as long as they are below the 360s all is right in the world. =)

Woulden't surprise me at all, the fact that the PS3 is even outselling the 360 at all at this point in time is sad. Once some familiar faces drop down in Europe it's just a matter of time, a rather small period of time even.



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

Given the numbers this week. I doubt it will happen anytime soon. Given the pre-Christmas price drop of $100 and introduction of another SKU that effectively dropped the price by $200, PS3 seems to be fading again.

The only thing that holds it up is the price drops. They will hit a wall there eventually.

As for the games... Well, I'll wait and see. What if the games don't get the ratings? Or what if games on other systems rate and create as much buzz... What about the GTA IV effect? And DLC only on 360?

Too many variables for anyone to prdict this with accuracy.

 I woulden't put downloadable 360 content in any boat past the hardcores that already own a 360 :/ 

The games will get the ratings lol, it's how the system works.

This is about europe :P they just sell better than the 360, software and now apparently hardware. This is just waiting to happen.

Wow another 360 fan trying to use the sales crap. Funny. It was OUT A YEAR LONGER, but still....

If you remove Japan (which doesnt like COD4, as you can see) the attach rate of COD4 is actually over 26% on the PS3. I havent looked, but I'd say thats higher than the 360 right?

As far as Assassins Creed, I know thats higher on the PS3 as well, but I didnt feel like doing the math for that one.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

There isn't a chance in hell of this happening, the PS3 would have to out sell the 360 by about 250K a week. Between now and the summer the PS3 and the 360 combined sales will fall short of 250k most weeks.



@lvader: Can you count? On Summer means that there are roughly 23-36 weeks left. Acording to vgchartz the difference is 1.54 mln. So it would be enough to outsell X360 by less than 50k weekly.
