When no one makes games for the Playstation 4, you'll understand. Ever looked at the atrocious lineup of 3rd party games on the Wii? That speaks volumes about how 3rd parties will treat your system if you don't do well.

 

 

yet, the wii is doing quite well. In the end both system will be close to each other sales wise, and equal if you take out the year advantage. oNE thing that has changed this Gen and will continue to disapear is exclusives. And frankly, the next wii will get the games, not the PS360.

ps3 is tracking above the 360. the 360 had a year head start - that means the 360 started selling a year before the ps3. that also means sales for the 360 should peak a year before the ps3. that means the 360 should stop selling a year before the ps3.

sure, the 360 is selling well in comparison to the ps3 at the moment but mark my words on the back end of this generation the ps3 will pass the 360's overall sales.



mrstickball....honestly speaking, even after E3 2006, did you think that 2 years after its release, the PS3 would still be 5 million behind MS´s second system?

Or when you heard the famous "599 US Dollars", you kinda knew this was how things were gonna play out?

The 360 isn't blowing the PS3 out of the water now when it should be doing Wii like numbers with that cheap price.

The PS3 has sold better than the 360 this year, and it will be interesting to see what happens.

At this rate all 3rd party devs could careless who has more units sold, they will make games for all platforms .

Why does a years head start matter? The Xbox 360 isn't going to stop selling a year sooner because it came out a year earlier, it just means that the Xbox 360 will have another year to sell consoles to the general public/sell software. The PS3/Xbox 360 are functionally equal when it comes to playing games. Multiplatform software is equal and the further we get into this generation the less the console buying population will care about a few extra pixels/levels of MSAA or a slightly more vibrant texture. IIRC the Xbox 360/PS3 have sold identically since the PS3s launch.

One ace in the hole the Xbox 360 does have is that it has a tessellator which is forward compatible to direct x 11. This unit helps weaker/slower GPUs a lot more than stronger ones by taking the load off memory with far smaller assets and by helping the system make better use of its pixel shaders. These two areas are pretty obvious critical shortcomings when comparing your minimum PC specification of 2010/11 to the Xbox 360 and will obviously extend the functional life of the system somewhat. It effectively works in a similar fashion to the Cell + RSX combination with the added bonus of reducing ram usage though it doesn't increase computational performance by the same extent so thats a wash/balanced.

 



Tease.

My question would be

why hasnt the 360 got higher sales considering its realease time and its cheap price?



everyone who doesnt like ps3, face it, it WILL pass the 360. look how its selling and look at how high the price is and then look at the 360.
