Yep, they are currently selling like 20k more per week. At that rate they will catch up in about 4-5 years.

PS3 will be lucky to get to 30% by the end of generation. Nintendo Wii Market share is expected to be over 50%. The remaining will be X360 with 18 to 20% market share.
3.4 billion dollars in losses to get Blu-Ray onto market by including it in every PS3 is not a great business move. DVD sales are smashing Blu-Ray sales.The majority of the world do not own HDTV's. SDTV's and standard DVD's are the norm in most people's lounge rooms.
Well if you sell a PS3 for the less than market value I would not say no to that. I have a PS3 60GB and I will get a second PS3 eventually.
that is just too late
let's what will change the use of their last weapon (price drop NA)
Time to Work !
| BMaker11 said: How is getting outsold week end and week out considered "crushing"? I really hope you aren't touting the one year lead (meaning no competition from the other console which targets a similar userbase) which is slowly but surely disappearing as your definition of "crushing". Sure the PS2 had almost 75% last gen, but if current trends continue, M$ will be in last place. Now how does that equate to M$ crushing Sony? Sony crushed everyone last gen, Nintendo is doing it now. |
Although I wouldn't (personally) say that the XBox 360 is crushing the PS3, I think it is too early to declare that the XBox 360 will be in last place (in particular in last place by a wide margin). At the current rate the PS3 will pass the XBox 360 in 12 to 24 months. Now, if Microsoft can boost their average sales by a small ammount (10,000 units per week) and the PS3 sees a small reduction in average sales (10,000 units per week) it is likely that the PS3 wouldn't pass the XBox 360 until late 2010 or early 2011.

Maybe ... Last I heard SquareEnix said they weren't going to release Dragon Quest IX and Final Fantasy XIII in the same fiscal year, and since Dragon Quest IX is expected to be released this year that would mean the earliest Final Fantasy XIII would be released would be March 2009. I (personally) wouldn't be surprised to see Final Fantasy XIII release in Japan in Q2 of 2009 (Fiscal Q1) and then to see an American release in Q4 2009 (fiscal Q3).

Probably because at the time FFXIII was so far away from completion it wasnt even funny. When is it due out by the way?
|
they said they wanted to get it out this winter ww release.. but i'm guessing it'll be pushed into 2009.. hopefully early 09 tho.
Check out my game about moles ^
WKS will come before march 2009 and its confirmed by Sony. FFXIII release date will be anounced this year and probably will come early 09. Both these games are way bigger then SO4 which is just timed exclusive.
The only thing they would have needed to do to crush Sony is not have the RRoD. Of course, the R&D would probably have set the launch back six months, so it's a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-ya-don't scenario.

#1. If Microsoft chose to incorporate the failed HD-DVD drive into the 360, I really wonder what championing a failed drive would do. Without mass production of the drives by various 3rd parties, Microsoft & Co. would of had to bear the entire brunt of proper HD-DVD R&D and production. This could lead to higher costs for the 360 beyond what Microsoft already pays. Not only this, production of the said disks could also be a bit costlier due to the lack of producton outside of Microsoft's factories (could you imagine how difficult producing millions of HD-DVD disks in 1 or 2 factories for every 360 game would be?) I agree on the whole "oh, the 360 could of used a bigger storage medium than DVD-9", but HD-DVD, as well as BR-DVD was rather new when MS produced, and sold the 360. With the fail rates of the early 360s, one can only question how awful the HD-DVD drives would of been (and how expensive, too). |
No way on earth would HD DVD have been a failed drive if it was built into 360. 360 sales would have been lower (probably much much much lower) than they are now but there would have been more HD DVD players than Blu Ray players. The studios that were Blu Ray exclusive that caused HD DVD to fail would have also released on HD DVD and some would have even been HD DVD exclusive. The only studios that would have been Blu Ray exclusive would have been those owned by Blu Ray.
