He's just being slightly pessimistic.

That means it's average sales are well below 10 million per year, including very major software releases like Halo 3 and GTA IV. I think it's safe to assume that there won't be anything bigger to release on the 360 than these two. Sure Gears 2 is big, but it has its fanbase already on 360. PS3: PS3 should be little under 20 million December 31st 2008. It's yearly average is therefore around 10 million, with a lot of important software releases already out, but GT5 and FF13 still to be released (I know FF13 is not exclusive, but I do consider it to do more for PS3, especially due to Japanese (timed) exclusivity). Also PS3 has yet to see its third year, which as said before is usually the peak for consoles. It can therefore be expected that Sony will be able to sell at least 10 million PS3's in 2009. It should also be able to drop the price somewhere in 2009. With PS3 at 30 million end 2009 it should definitely reach 40 million, my guesstimate would be first half 2011. After that it will really depend on market saturation and Microsofts next-gen plans. I think in the end Sony has to compete with MS for the next gen market and therefore has no option for a 10 year PS3 plan and therefore will probably not reach 50 million. |
Every time I see comments about peak console sales in years 2 and 3 it amazes me that people ignore the real reason for those peaks. That is price typically by that time consoles are at mass market price (between $150 and $200). The 360 just moved into that price range with the $200 arcade. Therefore I believe that 2009 and 2010 will be the peak for the 360.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Casual games combined with the new Xbox experience will be a great success. Furthermore the "Xbox360 slim" coming in 5 different colours will become as trendy as the iPod or the PS2 was." "Lips", "Scene it²", and "You're in the Movies" aren't going to have casual appeal. They are so ____ tht they'll each have trouble getting review scores higher than 6 and selling over 500,000 copies. Anyone that puts any faith in these products has no idea about what makes a good video game. Here are my review predictions for these three games. Lips = 6.0, "You're in the Movies" = 2.5, "Scene it²" = 7.0. |
