I agree, though I think that if it does move huge, huge amounts of PS3s, then some might drop the 360 version that they are working on if they are half way through, it is unlikely, but the fact is that the Japanese do not like the 360, which is less of an incentive to make jRPGs, though as you say that genre is becoming more popular around the world. However, it is expected that by the end of next year, the PS3 will probably have overtaken 360, even though the US lead will still be intact, which will dent the likelihood of jRPGs for the 360 (though Europe is less of a jRPG market than the US)


BEST case scenario for the PS3 has it passing the Xbox 360 late next year (though to be honest if it ever REALLY looked like they'd be overtaken I think Microsoft would step up). At the end of the day, I just don't see the potential lead the PS3 could get this generation as being great enough or coming soon enough to creat any exclusives for the PS3 it wouldn't already have gotten, or rob the Xbox 360 of any exclusives it would otherwise have had.

What are you talking about,,PS3 is one year and five months old,,,,start of next generation is still way ahead,,I know MS will take a dump on their 360 user base (As they did to xbox)and start the next generation as early 2010 and stop the support on 360 due to thei limited # of game developers,,,,, people will realize that XBOX is not worth any money as it's always on a short life support.This was the exact reseaon that I switched from the original xbox to PS3 and promised my self to not ever buy another MS console.

 

On the other hand PS3 will last 9- 10 years and that's when you ll see the value in PS3(same with PS2).when they drop the price to 250 level then a surge of new user will hit the PS3 ,,wii owners that wanted to play RE5 and Final Fantasy ,etc.. and also lots of PS2 owners.

 

So you can say xbox 360 will be ahead untill the start of next generation but that's not saying much as it's one of XBOX short commings(short life span) ,,MS has 4 year life cycle instead of 10(hence much lower value as a gaming console).

 

 

 


 9-10 years?

by that time, the new Xbox and Wii will be out. And the new Xbox and maybe even the next Wii will have the same or better grahpical prowness as the PS3

Ouch...so much hate...

If 360 has a 4 year cycle that means that 2009 would have to be the launch of their next console. It will still have a handsomelead over PS3 until 2009 so I don't see that happening.

As far as PS3...Hideo Kojima mentioned that there was not much else that could have been done with MGS4 on PS3...I don't see them having ps3 for 10 years if thats the case. Besides no console has been the main dev platform for a company for more than 6 years.

 

NES 1984 - 1990 - 6 years 

Genesis 1988 - 1994 - 6years

PS1 1994 - 2000 - 6 years

PS2 2000 - 2006 - 6 years

yes and PS4 will also be there but PS3 will still be kickin due to the surge of new comers after 250$ price point (as you can see the effects of 100$ price cut on PS3)

 

this is just my opinion ,I could be wrong,,,Unlike Starcraft I do not force my thoughts on people as facts,so you might have a different point of view.

Another flawed analysis that doesnt take into account any games, features or holiday season. (Each holiday season is different, and if you looked at the past two the PS3 keeps gaining on the 360, so you should expect that type of trend rather than identical numbers.)

Before the 360 can even think of taking on the Beast of BluZilla, a mighty dragon which has a decade of glorious pixel mayhem ahead of it, it would have to outsell the PS2. Let's check the record:

2006: PS2 > 360
2007: PS2 > 360
2008 to date: PS2 > 360

Conclusion: the 360 is being spanked by an eight-year-old technological relic of the dotcom era.

 so is the PS3!


 What?

 

2008 to date: PS3>PS2>360

calling all your SDF fanboy come back to reality!!!!!!!
read numbers not playbeyond signs!!!
first looking current sales numbers the 360 have a 6.5mil lead over ps3, now lets play around with this number game. Lets say start from next month of may, the ps3 will continuously out sold the 360 of 500k a month, it'll still need to take a good 13 months period for it to catch up on the 360. Let me ask now what are the chance of ps3 outselling 360 500k a month for the next 13 months????
sony had won the format war but that does not mean ps3 can always keep its price level the same as a standalone players, if I recall from ps2 era. The price drop rate on dvd players droped alot faster than ps2, if we carry this trend over to the current format. I bet when the holiday comes around we'll see standalone players cost 50-100 dollar less than ps3.

 really good points mate!!

That's impossible!!! why do you even bother coming up with this prediction??? your are saying the Ps3 will pass the 360 in less then a year? ok let's do the math:

 

6500000/12= 541667

So it has to almost 550k a month to outsell the 360 LTD, how do you think this will happen?
