The X360 is going the way of the N64.

- Does decent, and isn't as bad financially as you could be afraid off.

- Gets toasted by the leader.

- Has an unusually large split between highest selling and lowest selling on the platform (of course, not close to N64, or any Nintendo platform).

- Is in an inferior format (vs Bluray) to a competitor, yet it still is capable of doing just as good as the competition if dealt with correctly.

 

The obvious difference is that the 360 has amazing third party support. The N64... not so much.

Yeah, I know. There are lots of differences, but I still think that this is the closest you get to something that is alike the 360.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

Maybe in terms of the quality of its games line-up it is the next PS2. When going by sales/market share/profitability then Wii is the new PS2. Just the way it is.

The reason I have confidence in the $299 price point, is because thats the price point the PS2 launched with.

If the ps3 doesnt start exploding at 299, then you can count it out the console race.

Leo-J , there is no chance in hell that the ps3 will ever even be half the wii sales. By the end of this generation the ps3 wont be chocking on the wiis dust because even its dust will be to far off for the ps3.

As far as games and developer support Yes as far as sales NO

I wouldnt say there is no chance in hell, we will have to see what happens when it does get to 299

leo-j I'm with u! I also think that the ps3 will have a nice boost when it will get to 299! In europe, it will sell like hot cakes. Let's not forget japan, early next year they have yakuza 3 and FFXIII demo. I also think that killzone 2 will be appreciated by american people.

Don't forget the actual price people, don't forget it!

 so your saying droping the price 100 dollars will increase sales by 25 million (predicted lead of the wii over ps3 by april 09).

That is beyond optemistic that is delusional
