God xbots are funny!
Chubear makes many many decent points in this thread, and quite frankly, i hope wii fanboys dont come around here with theyre two cents, which are usually the same lame data facts or catchphrases that theyve been using since the beginning.
Ps3 sold 10 million, against all odds, and that is what counts, and thats a fact. The Wii sold bucket loads, costing little, and with people just buying it because it was "fresh" to have it (a good deal of my friends are like this, meaning buying it to enjoy wii sports a little, and then poof, magically the wii catches dust and is never touched, now i know a couple of my friends arent a comparable data chart for the world, but i have a feeling many people had this state of mind).
Xbox had god knows how much time to install a huge market share, and in some sense they did conquer one market, the States, but have once again proved a lack of senses in the asian market (forseeable for any non-japanese company), and a "snobby" attitude towards europe, once again, like usual...so i honestly dont see how Microsoft didnt manage to grasp even more market.
Once again congrats Sony
Whoa. At least 4 accounts with low amounts of posts, who all have the exact same games and opinions, not to mention use extremely similar language. I haven't seen this many fake accounts in one thread since Gballzack learned to make hers less obvious.

Oh boy. You really want to make such comments and laugh about it? I have a bunch of comments jsut like your's saved up only a year ago about how the PS3 would never sell 10mill in it's life time, would come in last this gen and Sony shouldn't even bother any more with the PS3 cause it's dead and should focus more on either the PS2 or PS4 (if they stay in business that long) and they all laughe dabout i. They look rather daft now uh? I'll tell you this, just like the pattern with the PS1&2, the end of the 2nd year for the PS3 will be monstrous. By Nov this year the PS3 is going to go on an out right tear the like haven't been seen in a while. Japan will explode, EU will bubble and NA will rush the PS3 like it's going out of style. Please, if you wish, save my comment and laugh at me if I'm wrong. Yes, by 2009 the PS3 WILL beat out the wii and also (jsut for a bonus kicker) The sales gap btw the PSP & the DS will be relatively close by 2010/2011. Please, quote me on that. :) |
That is a bold prediction, but I don't disagree. Bku-Ray winning out could be huge
Well, this is truely a landmark day for the PS3. I recall a fair few people in August last year stating that the PS3 would struggle to sell 6m by the end of the year and would find it hard to sell 10m whatsoever.
Anyway, the PS3 HAS sold 10m units worldwide and has done it in a much quicker way than the 360.
I will not proclaim that the PS3 will have more units WW than the 360 by the end of this year or beat out the Qii by the end of 2009. But what Chubear is saying rings of the truth about what could happen. I have no doubt that the PS3 will beat out the 360 in Europe and Others...it will have not bother in doing this. Japan is a runaway as well. It's NA where the 360 is holding firm, and the PS3 is struggling to overcome the huge amount of 360's....this can change though.
The Wii is s weird one though. I reckon it's widely thought that a large number of Wii owners WILL buy a proper Next Gen system (360 or PS3) over the course, so these people could start choosing the PS3....well in Japan, they will choose the PS3 rather than the 360 and it's looking that way in Europe as well.
Prediction (June 12th 2017)
Permanent pricedrop for both PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro in October.
PS4 Slim $249 (October 2017)
PS4 Pro $349 (October 2017)
Are you honestly saying that i have a fake account?

:( Well, whatever helps you sleep at night bud.
Anyways, This is a joy to see after so long with all the negativity surrounding not just the PS3 but it's fanbase too. I can't tell you how insane people had pegged the PS3 for failure just 6months ago..but I'm sure you al remember very well. The PS3 is poised to over take the 360 by the end of this year obviously and will certainly over take the wii by the end of 2009. I'm just proud of all the PS3 fans that endured all the FUD that was blasted relentlessly on every single PS3 forum on the net and still stood strong in their belief about the capabilities of the PS3 regardless of the insane anti-viral slander by the gaming media and others. Big big thumbs up to all fellow PS3 supporters. You all rock!

it wont pass 360 thisy ear and it will never pass wii
| PooperScooper said: I redid my math It took Ps3 44months to reach 10mil It took 360 60 months to reach 10mil So Ps3 is 16 months ahead of 360.(Aka 5 months) I know each console hasn't been out that long. I added each regions months seperatly. |
hmm....judging by your math, i'd say your in retail
| madskillz said: Here's the deal - look at the X360 vs. PS3 charts. Look after launch for both consoles - notice that spike in sales for the PS3? Do you notice the 360 nonspike? Ok ... now look at the 360's numbers. Notice anything? There was a drought after the 360 launch for months. In several places in N.A., you could find a 360. I finally snagged one in April of 2006. The numbers reflect it - case closed. Pay the judge. Wake me up when this foolishness is over ... |
What a BS little excuse. First, the Xbox360 shortage was over before it reached 10 million. Once the shortage is over, it's relevance to overall LTD sales numbers is non-existant: No shortage = everyone who wants one has one. Second, even if that weren't the case, that's still 4 months longer that it took MS to put consoles into people's hands. Incompetence at manufacturing and pushing out your product is not an excuse.
The only foolishness here is your being upsety-poo at the numbers. The sooner you face reality, the easier it'll be.
I have honestly never seen any sort of shortage here in Europe, well at least in my countries, Italy, Switzerland and France...The only time i had somewhat of a problem was to get my Elite, but even then i managed to find one in a store after what, a whole three hours of looking.
PS3 never really had shortage either, although when i asked my girlfriend to buy me one in the states (at the time where there was the 60 gb and 20gb) she did have trouble finding one
