Forums - Sony Discussion - for sony fanboys only: ps3 domination outside NA begins now!!11!!

Playstation 3 domination outside of America? How badly is it beating the Wii?



Around the Network

good job little buddy



 

Omgwtbbg - I've been looking at this site a little after Others launch. Since then all i've been hearing is the demise of Ps3 and Sony will withdrawl from console race and Sony is gushing blood and will never go in the black(always in the red).

The Fury - I have a math problem figured out in the "ps3 10mil 4 months before 360" it basically says ps3 has made 10mil in 44months and 360 made 10 mil in 60 months.



well you should of said dominating 360 not domination cause that includes wii and its only doing that in japan to 360



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

Oh, let people have fun... besides I'm not sure that Wii and PS3/360 even compete fully. Most PS3/360 owners I know wanted HD gaming and never considered a Wii as competition, they either got one as well or ignored it.

Really PS3 and 360 are locked in battle right now for a different demographic than Wii so I guess I see some point to the thread if you're a PS3 fan.

 

They do compete fully. For a game system to be very succesfull it needs to capture the casual market like PS1 and 2 did. There are only so many "hardcore" gamers.

Besides that, developers have limited budget, so all systems compete for 3rd party games.


I wouldn't say that, if there was no Wii I don't think the PS3 would have sold that much faster. Probably this would mostly have benefitted PS2, GameCube and 360 core sales. There is near as good as no game overlap between PS3 and Wii, for the top 20 selling games for both platforms there is no overlap apart from Guitar Hero 3, but I think the Wii version competes more with the PS2 version. If you have a HDTV and a PS3, I think most would get the PS3 version for better audio and visuals.

IMO a future cheaper slimline PS3 will compete more for "casuals" when the PS2 is discontinued, probably in 2009.


You're right that the Wii competes for the casual gamer and in that way maybe affects PS2 sales more than PS3 sales. The problem for PS3 and 360 is that they also need this kind of gamer to grow beyond the small hardcore/graphic-minded gamers. Right now it looks like the big majority of those went to Wii. So you're probably right that the PS3 wouldn't have sold alot better without Wii, but it's future sales will be smaller because of Wii.

My second argument is also still valid: If Capcom spends money on a Wii exclusive game, they can't spend that money on a PS360 multiplatform/exclusive game. 



Second place isn't "domination". You should be working for Sony because that's some amazing spin.



^even if your first it isnt domination,the term is used for when you outsell your competition like ps1,2 lets see if it will happen with wii

When people complain about wii fanboys and why there is so much negativity this gen (mostly cause this site was made this gen), there is no way to escape it! Just what would you rather choose, wii fanboys, ps3, or xbox.
