Forums - Microsoft - Lets hope the PS3 doesn't sink.

 

With

Xbox360 300,000

PS3 200,000

 

I hope the margin doesnt extend too much.

3:2 , 2:1 max.

 

Think of all the advantages that Microsoft has given us since PS3 and X360 were level.

NXE, Exclusives [Final Fantasy +], Price Cuts

there are plenty more i cant remember

 

So while i hope the 360 suceeds over sony, lets hope the PS3 doesnt sink.

 

food for thought.

Come on bro. The PS3 and 360 go back and forth every 6 months. Sony isn't going anywhere.

Why would the PS3 sink when they've got 75% of MS's market share?

since the ps3 is running at a loss

the economic turmoil is likely to favour the xbox/wii.

not to meantion the marketshare for the PS3 in comparison to Ms is shrinking.

+ PS3 being bought as a blu ray player solely.

look at LBP sales

under current circumstances the "profitability" of the PS3 looks poor



HD-War timeline:

1. Microsoft entered with a initial plan to take over Sony before they launch the PS3

2. Once Sony announced the 500 and 600 pricetag, Microsoft laughed and just did the basic, talking to devs, and PS3's pricetag, shortage and lack of exclusives did the rest...

3. Then Sony decided to cut the price on the new SKU's, and titles started to come out, Home was revealed, and one of the 3 flagship titles (MGS4) got a release date, not to mention that HD-DVD received the Axe, with that sales started to going up, so much that PS3 outsold 360 in all regions including the US...

4. Microsoft, not dominating Europe or Japan, and with danger of losing the US long-term, started a plan to fight back: 1st. Imitating the 1st place console, the Wii, 2nd. Offering a movie service now that HD-DVD was dead, 3. Getting more exclusives/timed/DLC, 4. Negotiate with Square Enix many points, the main one, getting Final Fantasy XIII, a flagship PS3 title. And last but most important: A pricecut that made the 360 cheaper than the Wii... When all of this points were executed the 360 went up and began outselling the PS3 in the US, then Japan for several weeks and then EU...

So now i'm expecting the PS3 to fight back, but they need a pricecut to make this full... The fight is not over, the US and Japan seem taken but the other could come close (more in the US than Japan), EU is the real warzone...

Now, overall, the Wii won, if one of the HD consoles manage to outsell the Wii, it would be a real megaton... I don't see that happening...
