Yeah, well the 360 only has one exclusive coming out for the rest of the year with any real drive behind it.
| DMeisterJ said: Price drops? Maybe. But MS is focused on profit now, so I don't know about that. Supply Constraint? Bull-shit. False. There is no "periodic region-specific supply issues". I mean, let's think about it. They sure as hell aren't in Japan, and Others, and America's sales have been healthy, and the same as of late. If MS isn't saying supply issues, why are you? I also didn't know that release dates could push a console. And Too human... Well, I won't get into that. But a game in development for ten years across multiple platforms, I don't think that it'll turn out too well... And you neglect a few thing in your post, such as, if Sony actually replenishes supply of the 80 gig, which will carry sales much more than just the game itself. And also, MS and Sony are at about the same position to price cut. If one does it, the other one will follow suit. |
Found your post 
I didn't say there WERE supply constraints, I said there WILL be when Microsoft empties the channels for a new SKU. This isn't a Microsoft-specific concept, it happens when any console manufacuturor empties the channels.
There may also be supply issues early on with the new SKU I predict will be brought out.
Anyone thats misinterpreted me as saying there ARE supply issues NOW needs to re-evalutate their responses.
As for Too Human, Microsoft are bringing it up ever other moment. Even if its not great, it will be decent.
And Sony isn't nearly as comfortable with the prospect of a price cut as Microsoft is. It lost a tonne last quarter, whereas MS profited even when you take into account they probably moneyhatter Square Enix like nothing else last quarter.

| selnor said: 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. |
You know what's wrong with this post? EVERYTHING.
MGS4 is the PS3's biggest game of this generation? LOL. Did you forget GT5 or FF13 in your blind fanboy rage?
Look at the past sales of the MGS series, and then look at the Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy series. Please tell me again that MGS is the biggest game of the generation.
MGS4 did amazingly well and exceeded all expectations especially considering the PS3's userbase, just ask anyone who ISN'T a 360 or Nintendo fanboy.
Edit: See this thread: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=0&id=26488 most people were predicting what MGS4 did on day one for its first week.
As in go buy us some coffee.

"The PS3 will outsell the 360 from November 2007 - February 2010 by an average of 60,000 a week worldwide. I also predict that PS3 sales in Japan by February 2009 will be a steady 30,000 a week or higher".

| WiiStation360 said: People expected a $100 price cut for Chirstmas last year. It did not happen. A lot of people on this site guaranteed a US price cut for Xbox before GTAIV. It did not happen. I would love a huge price cut for the premium 360, and they desperately need a new SKU. Any XBox pricecut will be followed by PS3 pricecut. Every 360 exclusive game is countered by a PS3 exclusive game. I see nothing that is a huge advantage for the 360 over the PS3. Their US sales sould be about even for the rest of the year. I'm guilty of expecting an MS price cut prior to GTAIV, but I don't know anyone that predicted a $100 price cut before Christmas for the Xbox 360. I'm hoping for a Europe like price cut, which would be MASSIVE. They could do it if they are already making the new units by August, but somehow with the US economy I dont think the cut will be that big. As for games, barring E3 going totally Sony's way, Microsoft's line-up this holiday season is as good or better than the PS3's. That won't be an issue. |

| psrock said: 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. |
Worldwide? What are you talking about? Read the thread title. WE ARE ONLY TALKING ABOUT NORTH AMERICA!!!!
NPD = NORTH AMERICA!!!!

| johnsobas said: all of your evidence is completely speculation. |
That's sort of the point of making predictions. However, it is informed and reasonable speculation. The only problem is that it hinges on a price cut. If that cut comes pre-E3, then 360 has a chance to pwn in July as well. If it comes later or not at all, then I don't see the PS3's current monthly lead disappearing.
| kamil said: @NJ5: PS3 fans are truly hilarious. They spent the whole two last years telling us Sony domination over the Wii and 360 would be arriving in about a year or so, and now they have the nerve to jump on starcraft for predicting 360 domination (over the PS3 only) in about two months? You have apperently a problem with objectivity. Those are basicly the same situations. Someone makes unreasonable, unbased statment (starcraft or PS3 fans last year) and is being bashed by others for this. Reasonable and objetive opinion could be for example "You shouldn't bash someone for prediction, it's just an opinion" or "This statement is unreasonable so bashing is justified". But no. Even if those are the same situations you (becouse of your personal opinion, there is no doubt about it) find a way to critize bashing in only one situation. There is of course an opposite argument to your's, that is just as (in)valid: "Xbox fans are truly hilarious. They spent the whole two last years bashing Sony fans for their domination predictions and now they have the nerve to predict 360 domination just as the PS3 fans did". I've seen that kind of wrong argumentation many times in political debetas. If you want to say anything reasonable you must show why one situation is different than another. |
I think your exaggerating what I've said.
I have said that the Xbox 360 will defeat the PS3 in NA ONLY in AUGUST ONLY after losing June AND July.
Exactly where is the fanboyish, unreasonable statement?
