360 is on is death bed. Even the biggest vg fanboys cant deny its fall and the fact it hit its peak with Halo3 and that theres no where to go but down way down.

Its VERY simple.

Huge releases like MGS4 GT FF will push PS3 hardware way beyond the 360 during their releases, then xmas 08 will come where the PS3 brutally out sales the 360 by many millions world wide.

Also 360 wont hold on to its only strong hold (shooter heaven USA) when Sonys got the likes of MGS4 Resistance2 Killzone2 Socom Confrontation and Socom4 as Exclusives.




I don't see how 360 is on its death-bed: It's 2nd biggest game has yet to arrive, and will steal alot of PS2 users. (Yes I'm talking about GTA4).

MGS is a big game, but no monster seller like GTA, FF and GT. probably around 3 million sales of which I expect a maximum of 500.000 new users (still a nice boost).

The problem for Sony is that the REALLY BIG games don't arrive this year: FF and GT. Until then the line-ups for both consoles are more or less equal. I'm sure PS3 will sell more than 360 this year, but it won't close the 7 million gap this year.

Also I kinda missed the transition from Sony fans bashing Wii to suddenly a 360 bashfest....


 dude. u have common sense? ps2 ownwers will not upgrade to a 360 just because of a multi platform game like gtaiv. think of it. gta iv is also on ps3. ps3 is a ps and sony console. obviously ps2 ownwers will upgrade to another ps console which they have games and controllers etc that they are more familier with. the  only thing the 360 gta iv has is dlc, which is coming out way way after the launch of gta iv. im also predicting the dlc will take out a big chunk of your ms points. most people play gta iv to finish the game once and go around a shoot up 5-0. 

 

mgs4 will sell over 3 million. a ww release date of 1.5 million will start it off and by the end of the year 4.5 million.

^whoever is into real racing is into Gran Turismo. If anyone is going to buy a system for its racing games it won't be for FORZA. Lots of people buy PlayStation ONLY to play Gran Turismo, that is a fact.

 thank you. you took the words right outta my mouth. forza is a good racing game, but i still prefer a game even like gran turismo 4.

 

gt is better than forza in all ways its just missing damage. im sure gt5p will prove that, its better than most racing games out there.

Honestly, I don't think that PS3 will ever out sell the XBox in NA. The mind share this gen is that XBox is the "place for gaming". PS3 will continue to sell well but it will not out sell XBox 360 in NA.



I'm just saying...

libellule: Glad we agree.

I know GTA4 comes to PS3, but you must agree that, even if it will sell more on PS3 ww, it will sell about 5 million at least on 360, which makes it a very big game on 360. It will also sell 360 consoles, again maybe not as much as PS3's, but every 360 sold with GTA4 is a big win for Microsoft, since this proofs that PS2 fans are not per se loyal to a brand.

 ==> well, MS is making a price drop and has secured a partial exclusivity on GTA4.

I believe they expect to do more than just match the PS3 sales.

In fact, the question for the PS2 crowd is :

Cheaper console (Arcade 199 euros !!) + full GTA4 

VS 

Sony brandname + other famous console games (MGS4+GT5pro)



Time to Work !

If Microsoft can cut the price by $100 this year I think they can hold Sony off for another two years.

 Of course not in NA...but we're talking world wide here

 @RSEagle

The question is whether Sony will follow up on that later...if Microsoft is going to cut the price, Sony is going to make some kind of move.

ehh.. too early to tell. However, if my expectations on GTA and Christmas hold out, the PS3 will probably pass the 360 WW by March, 09. I'm going to have to wait until after this Christmas to venture predictions on whether it will be able to outsell the 360 in NA.



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

GTA on 360 will steal nothing.

Heres the option for former PS2 owners that owned it for GTA.

Buy GTA on defective hardware with pay online and NO hd format playing capability and next to no other games worth a damn.

or Buy GTA on the most powerful very reliable Free online console that has GT5p and MGS4 coming out with in before/after 2 months of GTA ohh and has the next gen Format that won BR.

But like always it will take the passage of time and reality slapping you in your face to accept the truth, this is vg so no surprises about that.

I will say it now, GTA will sale better on PS3, at the end it will out sale the 360 version 2-1 mostly thanks to people picking GTA up when they buy the PS3 for games like FF MGS GT.
