Forums - Sales Discussion - Will the PS3 smash the 360 in sales this Christmas?

thekitchensink on 29 June 2008

I think it's pointless to even ask the question until we see what's in store at E3 from all parties.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Japan Most likely

Europe, Maybe

Amercia Dont think so

 

Pricing on the consoles is very important in Amercia at the moment due to the recession, so i dont see people jumping over the PS3 in a way that would mean they dominate MS, unless they have a price drop, but i dont think they are that desperate at this time.

Then they have to counter MS push into the NON core market with maybe the Xmote type device. It would be inline with there position, as last year they tried with the Arcade pack. MS is targeting Nintentos market this christmas Nots Sonys.

Sony will be lucky to do 100K more than Microsoft for one week over the christmas period.

BTW, Just got back in my time machine, it seams the PS3 is a FAD

the ps3 is going to sell in epic amounts



Killergran on 29 June 2008

It seems very likely that the PlayStation 3 will outsell the Xbox 360. Smash it, no. And it won't touch the Wii. I don't think it's impossible that it will gain a million or more in sales on the 360 over those 6-8 weeks of christmas. Much depends on the christmas lineup for both consoles. I guess we'll know more after E3.

Ohh, just like when Halo freakin' 3 came out last holiday season (which, by the way, is a far larger game than Gears 2) and the PS3 still handily outsold the 360.

If memory serves, the PS2's second year was its strongest, and I think it will be the same with the PS3. 360 sales are strong this year, but with the 360, the holiday season back in '07 started for it in September. Now, the holiday season won't really start until Gears 2 launches (which is when, November).

The PS3 will be stronger this season than last, especially now that it has a strong exclusive lineup and is a lot more popular. The 360 lineup, while good, can not measure up to 2007 (Halo 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock) and the sales will show that.

What are you talking about, go check the data on this website. From the period that halo3 came out til christmas Xbox sold more world wide (by a handy margin) than Ps3.

It is only after christmas when the PS3 started to outsell the Xbox360 by a good margin.

Ps3 in Japan and Europe will smash 360.

NA can't keep bailing the 360 out all the time.

Especially if Sony drops price ANY amount in ANY region.

It'll probably never touch the wii...
The wii has found it's way into homes which MS and sony could never dream of reaching..

JAN 4 JUNE21 SALES 08

360 = 16.07 360 = 19.41 3.34

PS3 = 9.17 PS3 = 13.68 4.51

Which means the ps3 is still catching up and has managed to outsell the 360 with 1.17 million consoles worldwide this year...

I'd say that sony has the advantage right now, they're waiting for 360's move and will counter it. Sony already has the upper hand right now (although slightly) and they know how to play poker!!!

They won´t make it this xmas, but watch 2009...

At this rate it´ll be 2,5 years from now. But considering they´re closing the gap i´d expect the end of 2009
