Forums - Sales - can the 360 really win WW next week against the ps3

Its pop in Japan is already over and if not it won't last more than a couple of weeks. Even at $199.99 for a week it only managed to sell 90,000 units in the Americas not 100,00 which was actually bad news for the system, so probably not.

At any rate, I refuse to congratulate the 360 for winning one week.



My most anticipated games:  Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort.  Cave Story Wiiware.

next week : xbox360 > ps3 again

but closer this time


@ahcheng,

sorry but, at the middle of october, PS3 > xbox360 ....

 

I don't think it will be that simple. Both are coming out with great games in October. It's a toss up whichever gets the most hype, better scores, and more advertisements.

you are right, in october there is a high chance that 360 will lead ps3, as 360 are also  coming out with great games.

 

==> you right, na+euro+jp price cut

so let's say end of october ...

but dont dream too much about the price cut effect, 90k in NA is a "pure failure"

xbox360 is selling better than last year EXCEPT that the last price cut (50$ august07) put the console at +100k ...

are we reaching saturation ???

the biggest hope for MS is the "Wii short supply" : this is the best AAA title for the xbox360

I hope you kniow that the NA price cut figures only included 2 days.

 


I hope you know that the "IT'S ONLY 2 DAYS!" excuse was bullshit. It's now been 9 days worth of data. And the figures show that 2 days worth of sales were better than 7 days. Next week you can expect a drop in NA and Japan for the 360. We can also expect a slight increase in Japan for the Ps3 (And with 360 numbers dropping we may see Ps3 sales increase). Will the shifts amount to a 30k difference? I don't know but anything less than 10k lead for either platform is a tie anyway.



"gears of war2 or fable 2, because so many ppl want these 2 games very badly, this fall/winter."

My prediction. Fable 2 = another Too Human, Ninja Gaiden 2, Infinite Undiscovery, and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

those games don't even seem worth for the hype. I remember people saying Too Human would be another boost to the system. What!? how come I didn't see a boost?

The only boost I see would be a Halo game coming out. Next week it will go down, either it will match the Ps3 WW sales close or beat it by a little extra. in the third week, it won't beat the PS3 sales WW.

Again, pricecut is only temporary. Not a factor for winning the console wars.



It will sell a lot more than the ps3 this holiday season!

"It will sell a lot more than the ps3 this holiday season!"

Do you think that one game will justify its selling much better than the PS3 this holiday season?

how come it didn't last holiday season? explain why you think it will sell more this holiday season.



I think we may see the 360 win a few weeks comfortably and then the battle between the two will get closer again. Those European PS3 sales are killing the 360 chances of gaining a rwal advantage and are holding Sony up during this period!



Wii - 3810 4459 0841 8442 - (Message me to add me)

360 - LuminalACE

PS3 - AUS-ACE

Looking at the minor sales pops that the 360 received in Europe and the US because of the price cuts, and I feel it can be safely said that the 360 is not going to win another month worldwide for the rest of this console generation.
