everyone is overreacting on the sales of the ps3.... a year ago the 360 wasnt breaking any necks at all... once the 360 was in full stock last year the sales were comparible to the ps3 sales this year... and there were hardly no games for it... i had a 360 around that time so i would know ... hate all you want... the war doesnt start til this holiday season until then everybody shhhhh

The 360 has never dipped below 100k units in NA. So, I wouldn't go as far to say the 360 was doing as bad as the PS3 is doing now.

Yeah dude whatever... If i recal correctly. The sales made in this periode of the year do also count for the total of the console wars... So you can call what you want but if i make a logic theorie. That means PS3 has a bad 2007...

The worst thing for the PS3 is that 2007 will probably the best year it ever has, console sales wise. 


I believe that 2008 will be much better for the PS3... Good exclusives and a price drop. Whether it will be too little, too late remains to be seen but I think it will have a good year.

Not anymore it's not. After the terrible showing in NA and Japan in April, there's virtually no way the PS3 is still outselling the 360. It was barely outselling it when it was moving 20k units in Japan and 130k in NA. Now that it's at a little more than half that number in those regions, the 360 should be outselling it handily now.

Are you saying that the PS3 makes up around 85k sales on the 360 in Europe and Australia?

I agree on that. I've said it some months ago that the 360 and PS3 will have their best year in 2007, from then on it will only get worse for both.


Oh you are all dead wrong. If this is the peak year for the 360 and PS3 than Nintendo is owning 80% of the video game market by 2011, simple as that. I think 2008 will be the 360's peak year, and 2009 will be the PS3's peak year. Fact is both system are priced out of the casual market right now. That's their biggest problem. At this time last gen remember the PS2 and X-Box were just $200. Now we have double that for the 360 and tripple that for the PS3. Until the 360 is down to $250, and the PS3 down to $350 or so, they're pretty much tech nut hardcore gamer systems only.

Im saying that the ps3 outsold the 360 by 55 thousand in japan alone in april so im pretty sure it outsold it especially in europe and australia.... do you ever look at the sales charts for other countries?? 360 is not the console to beat over there right now.. its between the wii and the wiii haha... with ps3 and 360 battling for 2nd.. but right now ps3 is winning the 2nd place battle

Haha i must have seen thousands of these doom and gloom posts this year. The fact is the ps3 isn't selling well in japan and america because it is too expensive and doesnt have many quality games. Both those problems are going to be fixed sooner rather than later and when they do get fixed the sales will shoot up.


With Sony taking a loss and selling the PS3 at $600, how will the "price problem" be fixed sooner rather than later? Even if they get desperate and reduce the price of the system to $400, it will still be too expensive for most families.

 


Because it has been well documented that the cost of producing ps3's is coming down. The technoligy is very new and sony have already found ways of cutting costs.
