Forums - Sony - My "John Lucas" prediction for the PlayStation 3!!

DMeisterJ said:

Okay here is my prediction for the PlayStation 3.  I'm not going to give you a laundry list of games or anything like that, just pure facts:

The PS3 has been outselling the XBOX 360 worldwide for the last twelve or thirteen weeks.  The amount that it's outsold 360 by has increased from 5-10k/week, to now outselling it by ~50k per week.  So here is my prediction.  That by the end of the Summer, the PS3 will be outselling the XBOX 360 on a weekly basis by 80-120k/week, and WILL catch up to the XBOX 360 by the end of the year.


That's a worthy John-Lucas-style prediction. Congratulations. And this prediction may even possible. It's a bold prediction, but it's not impossible. I add this to my footer, not because it couldn't happen, but because I think it's a brave and possible prediction.

10 years greatest game event!

You know I almost never bash the 360 or any of the good news about it. Quite frankly I don't post much in any of the topics pertaining to it. why? Becuase i'm not too interested in it. I could go from thread to thread right now and find your posts always putting a negative spin on positive ps3 news or trying to discredit any rumors of something good coming to ps3(remember the secret game?). You always do the opposite for 360 and do major damage control for it. You don't have to declare that you want ps3 to fail. I can just read your post and they make it more than obvious you don't seem like good ps3 news. I think others would agree with me to.

You know I read this just now, and was going to leave it. Only then I opened a thread about Xbox 360 shortages, that had NOTHING to do with Sony. What did I find?

Tell this too the fanboys (i.e. starcraft) and see what they think.

Clearly you have no interest in the 360. Clearly you have no issue with me. Clearly you don't bash the Microsoft console.

OH wait. You do, on ALL counts. You actually did just go from one thread to another thread solely to take issue with me and bash the console. In the very post you quoted, I commended the inclusion of DS3 in the PS3 bundle. Last week, I set up a thread criticising a case of Rrod at GDC. I am what I claim to be.

You sir, are an immature liar.

HA HA. Your quote proves my point. I Just said "ask the 360 fans what they think". Ha Ha

What you just said makes no sense, because thats not what you did. You went into a thread solely about the 360. You attacked me, even though I wasn't in that thread. You attacked the console directly and implicitly. Then you came here and lied about it all. Twice.

Thanks for playing.

Your getting desparate. You like to twist words and exclude others too. "You know I almost never bash the 360 or any of the good news about it. Quite frankly I don't post MUCH in any of the topics pertaining to it" I defended the 360's #s for NA by saying M$ said the shortages would be throu Feb. defending the 360s sales #s and then predicting them rising above ps3. Dude, You fail. Straight up. Learn to read.

I lol'd.

This was a joke. I kinda thought that everyone would kind of see that. lol. That's why I put JLs name in the title. Everyone knows I think he's overrated, I thought it'd be obvious to see that this wasn't true. As many can see, my math didn't add up. lol.

I'm on my mobile so I can't post the "it's a trap" pic...



Hmmmm.....yes I fail to feel this desperation you allude to. Perhaps it's lurking in my subconscious?

Face it, you said here that you have no interest in the 360, yet just went into a thread about it and out of nowhere described me as a Fanboy. I might also point out that whilst you "almost never bash the 360," I NEVER bash the PS3, or any console.

I simply point out their faults and strengths amidst general sales discussion.

I was about to call you on your math when I realized you'd said it would be selling 80-120k by the end of summer, meaning that it could still catch up in the holiday season. 

But if I knew you better I might have spotted the johnlucas thing.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
