I wouldn't say we Sony fans are over confident. We are just confident. If anything, I would say it may be a lack of confidence from the fans of Nintendo and MS.

It's pretty obvious why Nintendo fans are worried. The Wii U started selling like a dying console only two months after release. This means that Nintendo fans rushed out and bought it, but the majority of the general gaming public aren't exactly interested in it. More games and a $199-249 price tag will help, but I doubt it will push it to #1.

For MS fans, they have seen the direction MS has been taking the last 2 or so years (focusing more on Kinect/casual games, while giving the core gamer just a game or two per year), and rumors are suggesting that the NeXbox will probably have the same focus. Not as powerful as the PS4 and Kinect in every box. Rare just revealed that they plan to announce a big Kinect game in the near future and Jonathan Blow stated MS seemed more focused on the multimedia aspects of the console when he spoke with them. The problem with this focus is that it seems that casuals may not be there in the same numbers as they were this gen (Wii U sales) and it is also going to drive some 360 core gamers to Sony.

For Sony, people are seeing that they have learned from their mistakes. Powerful system that's easy to develop on this time, so quality multiplats and exclusives from the get go, but will cost less than the PS3's $499. The Share features are also peaking people's interest. We all know what happens when Sony has a strong launch. Heck, Sony had one of the weakest launches ever this gen and they are going to finish a close 2nd to the Wii.


amen

Third place? Last I checked the PS3 was released one year after the Xbox 360, and yet their sales are nearly equivalent. Logic much?


Yes 3rd place. You can read. Ill give you some good numbers.

Wii - 99,019,640
360 - 74,519,356
PS3 - 73,206,500

See. The PS3 has sold less than the Wii and less than the 360. Its currently in 3rd place.


You don't seem to get the point. The PS3 was released a year after the 360. The means the PS3 has sold far more units per year than the Xbox 360. It's barely third in absolute sales (which means nothing), but second in sales per units by a wide margin, the only statistic that actually makes sense. If you REALLY want to use total sale, you'd need to add in the last year of PS2's sales to the PS3's sales to properly compare it to the 360, which is still larger.

This is proper logic and not the stupid still not ahead like the friend who takes a 10 sec head start in a race, wins by 2 sec and says he won and is faster.

Dude, I use the racing analogy when describing the sales difference between people all the time haha

As usual, same thing happened with the PS3 and Vita (look how those turned out). And once again Microsoft and

Nintendo are going to place their boot right back up Sony's ass with Samsung and Apple to support with an orbital

strike lol. But lets be fair Sony has been bleeding money for 6 consecutive years and recently had to sell

their home just to survive it's kind of sad but let the have their fun before reality strikes. Because like Sony said

they are going to buy Samsung and Apple, just like the homeless man by my job swears he's going to be king of

Egypt.


Last time i checked the PS3 has constantly een outperforming the 360, considering sony stuffed everything up in this generation and still managed that is quite impressive, also, i would keep the negative comments elsewhere

There are more 360's sold worldwide than there are PS3's sold worldwide. Your "point" doesnt matter.

360 - 74,519,356
PS3 - 73,206,500

The PS3 is in 3rd place. No matter how many different excuses you use. No matter how much you try spin the numbers. The headstart doesnt matter. Aligned launches dont matter. Units per year doesnt matter. It doesnt matter if you want to add PS2 numbers to the PS3 total.

The PS3 is in 3rd place.

PS3. 3rd place.

3rd place.
