Forums - Microsoft - Why Microsoft will be pawned in June and July NPD, but will own August!!!

PS3 fanboys sure are desperate. First we are talking only about America and isn't it funny that 360 still sold more the previous months in NPD charts. Plus with X-mote and plenty of games it will stay like that. mGs4 is the only exception. With PS3 only thing that is certain is delays and cancellations.

why wait till August, i say 360 dominance start NOW!!!!

you see starcraft i can be just as delusional.

 So why is he delusional? Why will PS3 do better than the 360 in August?

 Starcraft gave valid points and now i want to hear yours please.


Just answer this: when was the last time the 360 outsold the ps3 ww? then you'll understand.

More reasons: with all of us waiting for the MGS4 bundle, Ng2 which is a bigger game than too human did not beat the ps3, you think a 10 year old game will, that's delusionnal.


 Too Human is infact expected to sell more copies than NG2.

But i don't know if it will push the 360 past the PS3 WW but it isn't delusional, it is infact likely given the points raised by Starcraft.

How come when someone says the 360 might outsell the PS3 sometime it is called delusional?

I think your delusional for belieiving the ps3 will never be outsold by the 360! 


i have never said 360 wont outsell the ps3, i'm just curious to how come it's not.

Product Price Place Promotion 4 basic P's of marketing. Product: Good/Great, Price Okish, Place No complaints, Promotion ?? Maybe have some issues with attracting a wider userbase? I fail. Sorry.

Tease.

"psrock , the fact is that 360 has the best lineup for the rest of the year (consols and handhelds)..."

No it doesn't. The DS does. Final Fantasy IV Remake, Final Fantasy Tactics A-2, the official releases of Dragon Quest V and VI which were never officially released in the US before, Disgaea, A Witch's Tale, a version of Blue Dragon which will receive much higher review scores than the 360 version.

And I would say that the PS3 and 360 have fairly comparable line-ups:

PS3: Bioshock, Disgaea III, SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals, Resistance 2, Motorstorm 2, Little Big Planet, Yakuza 3.

360: Gears of War II, Too Human, Fable 2, Banjo Kazooie, Viva Pinata 2, Tales of Vesperia,  Last Remnant, and Infinite Undiscovery.

If the 360 does sell better in the US starting in August, then I predict that the PS3 will continue to sell comparably better in Europe / Other Territories.

And Gears of War II is the last system seller for the 360 (Gears III will be on the next XBOX, much like Halo 3 was on 360.)

With God of War III, Gran Turismo 5, and Final Fantasy XIII coming in next Spring, I'm looking for the PS3 to survive the holidays, and take the HD crown worldwide at about that time.

To be fair, the 360 should battling the wii for first place right, it a great piece of hardware, they have the best game library this gen and the best online service.

June is fairly obvious.

MGS4 has arrived, and it will be a strong system mover (I doubt it will triple hardware sales as some overly excited fans have predicted).

July is trickier.

July may see some slight holdover effects of MGS4's arrival, but I do expect the hardware boost to be very frontloaded into the two weeks left of June. The title is the epitomy of hardcore and many purchasers will have owned a PS3 for some time, with the rest snapping one up in the first two weeks. So July's Xbox 360 beating won't come from massive PS3 sales, but from tiny Xbox 360 sales. Heres why:

- Massive rumours of a price cut for the Xbox 360 at E3 slowing sales.

- Periodic, region-specific supply constraints as Microsoft attempts to clear the chain for a new SKU to be announced at E3.

Note that E3 is halfway through July, and any price cut SKU release wont take effect until around a week after it. Massive sales in the last week of July won't come close to compensating for the poor sales in the first three weeks due to the aforementioned factors.

August is Microsoft's.

With a price cut and/or new SKU in effect, Microsoft will own August assuming that they are able to properly supply the new SKU. Too Human will arrive sometime that month, and release dates will be announced for Gears 2, Fable 2, Left 4 Dead and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts at E3, contributing to massive sales.

 

Edit: This thread compares Xbox 360 and PS3 sales, the Wii will of course "own" all three months.

starcraft never gives up with his speculated 360 comeback threads. Starcraft,the 360 is destined for last place. You might as well abandon the sinking 360 ship while maintaining some self respect.

 



To be honest I think that with MGS4 being the PS3's biggest title for probably the entire generation that it doesnt look good for Sony. Why?. 1.3 million worldwide sales on first day. Dont get me wrong thats good. But for the top game? Lets look at this. Halo 3 1.9 million first day. GTA 4 over 2 million first day. And the hardware sales only expecting at most 200 - 260,000 worldwide in the first week.

Consider that the PS3 has no real exclusives with any drive behind it for the rest of the year and the start of next, I would be worried if I were Sony. I expect Gears 2 to push past 2mill first day sales and I also expect 360 to push nearly 350,00 worldwide at it's release. Not just gears but Fable 2 will shift consoles and like it or not so will BK3. Add to that whatever big hitters come from E3 that M$ say they will anounce there and it doesnt look great for Sony.

I hold by my statement in my sig.

Also MGS4 300,000 first day Japan. Is it just me or is that very poor for the Japanese market and a MGS game?

I expected alot more from MGS4.



360 certainly doesn't have the best game library. The PS3 has the best game to be released on any console so far in this generation in Metal Gear Solid 4. And nothing coming to or on 360 is in any way going to be comparable to God of War III, Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII, and Gran Turismo 5.
