Forums - Sales - Opinion: 60 gig 360 cannot compete with 80 gig PS3 at $350

Bitmap Frogs on 01 August 2008

Because of the rainy weather forecast and the new cooking bot offers on shopping tv, I predict the game boy advance will raise to heaven and outsell the DS.

Its extremely unlikely that the ps3 will end up outselling the 360 in NA, and even if it does it will be so late in the gen that it simply wont matter.

Why do people think that if someone gets an HDTV, oh immediately the best complement is the PS3? The 360 outputs 1080p, has HDMI, has HD movie downloads and HD games. Even if some of them are 720p (and for PS3 most is still 720p anyway), you CANNOT differentiate it to 1080p using the naked eye unless you have 50 inch+ TVs.

Lets not forget that Blu-Ray adoption in the US is not going on a rocket growth anyway. All Blu-Ray really gives is extra space, 1080p only visible difference on 50 inch+ TVs. And only ~1% of all movie titles are out in Blu-Ray, and ~90% sell through is still DVD. And if you havent noticed, Hollywood isnt exactly in the healthiest and most creative state in its lifetime at the moment.

And we know who is going to win based on software as well.

Why buy a PS3 when there is a cheaper Blu-ray player two aisles over? Your average consumer would rather pay less to get a dedicated blu-ray player than pay more and get a game console.

 

The real  question is why buy a 60 gig 360 which only plays DvD's when you could get an 80 gig PS3 that plays blurays for 50 dollers more. Remeber too that a live account will add $50 to the 360 price tag alone. Do you know many people who have a 360 but do not pay for live?

If you want to say "games" heres what the average consumer is really looking at:

 

GTA 4 Vs. GTA 4

COD4 vs. COD4

HALO3 vs. MGS4.

Gears of WAr 2 vs. Resistance 2

Then there are some other exclusive titles comming for both systems but none of which are really mass system movers.

i love xbox360 on 01 August 2008

by the time the ps3 hit $350 the 60 gb xbox might be $299 (maybe $250) or less so i think it will be able to compete with the ps3 easy, and with gears 2 comming out it would be easyier

I would love to know whats right then.

But keep in mind, if youre gonna tell me you can see the difference when you really look closely staring right at the pixels, then this is moot. It is indistinguishable when sitting at the recommended viewing distance for your TV size. And this comes from looking myself and talking to a hardcore Sony fanboy.
