Forums - Sales - Sony and Nintendo will tie in hardware race, says former SCEE boss

Well it looks like the Ps3 is going to have a hard enough time getting past the 360, it doesn't look like they'll even have a chance at the Wii.

If I read this correctly, they are anticipating 90M PS2s still in use (in the install base) in 2011?

That's rich.

Not likely. This article is terribly worded anyway.

I indirectly told the author exactly that.   It's not real clear exactly what is being predicted; active install base, shipped units, etc...

 



The rEVOLution is not being televised

based on previous trends, id say the PS3 wont even hit 50 mil Lifetime



I thought we were past the point where "PS3 will magically catch Wii sales" articles could still be written. No? Sorry to see that. At least the date of the mythical Sony surge continues to recede endlessly into the future. 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011!

Also, Bod's Monty Python pic and quote are amazing.

Wait, so now the Wii is competition? Since when?

 

Good point.  :)

 

lol, yeah really good point!



And MS confirmed they are competition recently with their "But WE are the 3rd party sales leader" article.

I am so confused.....

 What trends are that? The "Ps3 wont even reach 5 mil at years end" then reaching 8.5mil?

Or the fact that it's on it's way to 20 mil now in its 2nd year.



LOL at everyone saying "Wii vs Ps3" I think they need to go read the link before commenting.
