Forums - Sony - Wich Sony console will rule this holidays ?

  At the moment there are 3 Sony consoles on the market , and all have the chances to sell the most this holiday season . I will write some pros and contras for each .

 

PS3 + it will sell the most because the 100 $ pricedrop , wich could keep up for some time . The gamelineup , in lead by games like Ratchet & Clank , Lair , Havenly Sword and Unreal Tournament , will finally get the attention of the media nad gamers , and this combined with great PSN updates makes the PS3 the best selling Sony console of this holiday . Also the comercials are getting batter and batter .

      - the pricedrop will die down in a month . There biggest gun UT3 will be pushed back to 08 . The PSN still strugles to make the weekly updates , which are mostly trailers .

 

PS2 + this allready popular console drops down to the price 0f 99.99$ . The PSP ports like Syphonfilter Dark Mirror , Twisted Metal Head on combined with EA games like Madden push this console to its final limits .

      - price drop never arrives , the last games are unimpressive , and gamers decide that its time to move on .

 

PSP + Japan gets amazed by Crisis Core and Dissidia , the US and EU by CoO , Wipeout Pulse , Jean Dark , Syphonfilter and so on . The redesign , though far as popular as the DS lite , convinces many people that its either the time to buy a PSP or change there old ones . Sonys comercials , just as in the case of the PS3 are finally starting to make sense , and people will observe the litle blac/white box in the shops .

       - the big hitters ( CC , CoO ) are pushed back to 08 , the redeign flops , and it sells just like the old model , other games dont generate interets in the gaming comunity , Sony decides that theyl put all there money on the PS3 , letting the PSP to sale without there help .

 

 

     IMO , for the PSP this is the last chance to proove that hes worthy , and gain that 800k sales / month that it would need , and this period is pretty damn critical for the PS3 to . The PS2 is in no danger . It is allready the best selling console of all , so there is no big rush . Also , those extra million sales are only helping to fill some pockets . Discuss .

PS2 will win because it's the most popular platform ever and shows no signs of being as slow as the PS3 or as title-poor as the PSP.

It doesn't matter though, because Sony is losing money and as sales of all three consoles drop off they will only lose money. They were even doing so when the PS2 was popular and current-gen, so it'll take a lot to change that.



Ubuntu. Linux for human beings.

If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.

PSP will have the most sales. PS3 will be the next highest as it's the time of year when people are willing to pay more and so PS3 will be > PS2. However, that trend will reverse itself after the holidays.

None of them will outsell of Nintendo consoles.



UT3 ? biggest gun ?

critical period for the PS3 ?

dont think so...

1/ can u provide us a link about UT3 pushed back in 2008 ?
2/ UT3 is "nothing" in the console world
It still doesnt have a name like Halo3 has.
So it is not their biggest gun.
PS3 doesnt have "1" BIG GUN
but several exclusives games that will push the system lair/unchartred/HEANVENLYSWORD (the potential system seller for me)/ratchet/GT5 prologue

3/ this period IS NOT so critical for the PS3
it will be more critical in 2008 when price drop+games will show us if people WANT or NOT this consle.
Wii is selling well but the price diference is huge so the 2 consoles are not competiting for the same market
Xbox360 IS reaching threshold market price (300-350$)+ big line-up, THIS is the big critical moment for her to show, or not, if it can sell to others people than HardCore gamers.



Time to Work !

It will be the same as it is now. The PS2 will sell the most in the US for Sony and the PSP will sell the most in Japan for Sony. The PS3 will bring up the rear in both markets. The PS3 is out sold by the PSP and PS2 in both the US and Japan.

I sayed ,, if " its pushed back . And yes at this point IMO UT3 is Sonys biggest 3rd party gun , its the only shooter that will count . Im afraid Haze will bomb , seriously . I also agree , that it has many awesome 1st party games , but lets be honest , shooters do sell like crazy , and UT has a chance :)

Honestly, I don't think any of the three of them have a chance at selling the most this holiday.

The PSP is up against the DS, and while the PSP is taking a strong second in its race, it won't outsell the DS. It has only outsold it twice (weekly sales) in its lifetime.

The PS2 and PS3 are selling at about the same rate. Namely, far less than the Wii, which is still pulling phenomenal sales. Add on that a large chunk of the PS3's remaining games for the rest of the year have been delayed or even canceled, and the PS3 doesn't have the steam to pull off a leading holiday season.
