PS3 will never catch up to the 360...

Seriously...wtf.

rofl. exactly the response we were looking for ladies and gentlemen...

OT: They will increase slowly until the 80GB comes out, spike, then settle around 70-75k/week in NA and 95-100k/week in Europe.

 


im gonna have to agree with dis, and hopefully it will happen.

 QFT...

 

After his fanboy analysis on "Why the PS3 will sell 150m" the other day...can't really take him calling any fanboy predictions!

Anyone who believes in the mighty "10 year plan" shouldn't really be listened to, let alone someone using it as evidence to support a theory....lol

Sales will bounce back - BluRay is taking off, and the PSN now has a legitimate media download service. It's just the summer slowdown, plus restocking. Also, sales needed a breather after the hugely successful MGS4 launch.

When you look closely, though, Microsoft is in deep, deep trouble. The flagship 360 got a price cut and is now $299, a hundred dollars cheaper than the cheapest PS3. Sales should have exploded past the 200K mark. They didn't.

VGChartz data shows that for all of 2008, market share for the Wii is 44.9%, PS3 22.7%, 360 17.0% and PS2 15.4%. So Sony still has nearly 40% market share despite having the most expensive console out there, while the 360 is clinging to one-sixth of the console market. Those are appalling numbers for Microsoft, which had 30% market share back in 2005.

Great spin there. If you're going to count the PS2 in, at least don't claim that Sony has the most expensive console... You can just as easily say they have the cheapest one too.

In any case, I salute you for a fine piece of spin, hadn't seen one that big in a few weeks.

 

 

The PS2 inclusion is great but my favorite part was "sales needed a breather after the hugely successful MGS4 launch."  It's a shame he's serious.  It could have been a great joke post otherwise.
