Forums - Gaming Discussion - if all the systems were the same price which one would sell the most?

I think PS3 because then you get a gaming system and blu ray player for the same price as wii which is just a game player and 360 which is games and DVD

The Wii.

Why? It's selling more, revenue wise, than the Playstation 3 is by massively wide margins. It's passed the Rubicon in terms of "dominant console".

Even the Playstation 3 at a $250 price point would not topple the Wii, because the Wii is the go-to console. Microsoft proved that even though a $200 price point can certainly boost sales, that even having the superior console doesn't matter - consumers at large made their choice. And Word of Mouth will drive sales since the Wii is so prevalent in the consumer's eye.

Now, if all consoles were equal today, I am sure the PS3/X360 would sell much closer to the Wii, but they would not overtake the Wii. Maybe 2 years ago, when this started, the Playstation 3 would sell the most - but of course, your asking the dumbest question in the book - "What would sell better - a Porche at a Kia price, or a Kia at a Kia price?"

So what you're saying is that the PS3 is a Porsche, and the Wii is a Kia. Hmm

By the way, LOL at your 2008 predictions.

 

I made my predictions 6 months before you even became a VGC member. Your point?

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Wii still, although the PS3 would be ahead of the 360

Please..Do people actually think that the Blue Ray disc player will actually make any difference in sales? No it won't. I'm getting sick of this post too.
