Forums - Sony - Chugga Chugga Choo Choo: Sony trains a'rollin!

This week marks the moment where the ps3 will finally come into its own. First there was the bluray victory which couldnt have come soon enough.

The wheels start a'crankin-Despite a higher price and at a signigifiant disadvantage in terms of software the ps3 still manages to outsell the 360 WW during the holidays.

The horn is blown-Bluray becomes the industry standard as toshiba admits defeat. Upgrading to HD is not a risk anymore.

Now we're getting momentum-The one complaint was that the ps3's software was lacking compared to rival consoles but it still held its own besting the 360 WW for the first 3 months of the year.

Calm before the storm- This week marks the begining of the sony machine's true momentum. With the release of GT5:P in the U.s. The ps store is updated. Ps3 now has rumble controller.

GTP- Wont do much for the consoles hardware sales but will bring more attention to the console via ads and word of mouth.

GTA4: This is the game that will really get the ball rolling. Not to mention its bundled with the console.

Mgs4: Already a proven system seller coupled with the fact that gta came out about a month before it. 2 well known PS games. Popular series WW. Also bundled.

Haze- wont do much for the consoles hardeware sales but will keep the attention on the ps3

Crazy train-With sony taking a sigh of relief in august they prepare for the holidays.

LBP, Socom, Maybe kz, possibly a price drop. HOME is probably released.

As the holidays approach people may want to upgrade to HD due to everything going digital in 09. Comapnies push bluray.

Resisistance 2, probaly afrika, Wardevil, maybe heavy rain. Motrorstorm2

Time marches on- Sony still has 2009 in the bag as well with both ff13 titles, twisted metal, god of war 3, and who knows what else.

All aboard the sony train: Next stop? 2nd place WW.

What's so special about this week?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

hmm... meh, what the heck, sure. It's gonna be a Loooooooong train ride, but it could possibly manage catching up to 360 in a couple years, though not at their current rate. They need to pick up more steam than just what they have now.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

 The fact a well known sony franchise is coming out, at least in demo form. Like i said it wont do much for the console. Thats work for gta4.



 

 

 

Whats the point of your post? To remind everyone that Sony is beating the 360 while being an inferior console?

You even admit that it had a higher price and inferior software for last holiday season...I sure hope you are on Sony's payroll otherwise you just look silly.

Despite the higher price and percived perception that it has no AAA games the ps3 is besting the 360 in all territoies according to vgchartz. Imagine what all those games plus a 100 dollar price cut could do?

 

 

 

GT5:P isn't nearly as popular in America as Europe.

What are you referring to as the inferior console? Either way thats subjective anyhow. Your right I did admit it had a higher pricepoint and inferior software. But guess what? It managed to beat the 360 WW during the holidays. I dont understand your anamosity towrds me or this thread. Its in the sony discussion, if you want to be a 360 troll go to the 360 board where you can discuss how MS blew it with gta4 or how ms needs to stop copying final fantasy.
