Forums - Sales - How would PS3 supplanting the 360 in sales happen?

Here ya go:

Sony need to release a fully backwards compatable PS3 Slim without the wireless Wifi, wireless controllers, extra SD card slot, extra USB Ports (we only need two), and a 40 gig hard drive. Sell it for $250 and hype the shit out of it.

Announce a user friendly MMORPG (hell, make it part of Home) with an actual ending, and a $1,000,000 prize. If not an MMORPG, then how about a "Price is Right" style virtual game show? Advertise the hell out of it.

Create a new "Pokemon", "Ninja Turtles", "Cabbage Patch Kids", style phenomenon that is only available for the PS3 (possibly downloadable to the PSP). Advertise the hell out of it. And make a syndicated cartoon about it.

Strike a deal with some motion picture studios so that their movies come out a week earlier on Blu-ray. Market the shit out of Blu-ray. Make DVD's seem like a relic.

Don't make promises that they can't keep. It's one thing to hype up a product. It's a whole other thing to make obviously impossible claims.

Buy me some vodka. I'm all out.

Movies, music videos, TV shows, celebrities, sports stars: All of them need to be flashing PS3's in our faces all the time. PS3 has to become THE single must have item on everyone's list.

Price, popularity, accessibility, pandering, and vodka. These are the keys to the PS3's ultimate success.

They tried it with LBP, it underperformed miserably.



Currently playing on PS3: God of War III

Currently playing on Xbox360: Final Fantasy XIII

Currently playing on NDS: Chrono Trigger

I thought LBP was the new "Pokemon", "Ninja Turtles", "Cabbage Patch Kids"

Well then, dammit let's get some news stories about 12 year olds using their PS3's to browse porn. The Wii's browser isn't powerful enough anymore, and the 360's browser is actually a picture of a naked woman taped to my TV screen. The PS3 is a portal to internet porn, and perverts have money. Get the word out!

 

Here's your headline: Sony's PS3 is a REAL "XXX" Box?

They did it wrong.  Next time, do it right.

 



well ps3 was outselling the 360 until the price cut sooo... anyhow its stupid when people always say ps3 is in 3rd place without a mention of ghow the 360 had an extra 12 month of sales in america and an extra 15 months or so in europe and guess what? the ps3 has caught up in europe? how did that happen?



As of the earliest point of counterattack. (1st March) at minimum 104 weeks left to rein in the Xbox 360s lead AND surpass it.

Lets say the lead is 8,500,000 by the time the PS3 begins its counter attack, it needs to sell 81k more per week than the Xbox 360 on top of whatever the Xbox 360 is currently outselling the PS3 by which should be at least 50k per week on average through Q1/Q2 so the PS3 essentially needs to increase its sales by more than 130,000 per week or by more than 6,000,000 per year.



Tease.

These are quite unrealistic hopes.

 

Killzone 2 will not be that big.

The PS3 will always cost more to make than the 360.

GT5 will be big, but that's a Christmas launch at the earliest, if the PS3 allows the 360 to win until then, then it will not be able to make a comeback

RROD was a consquence of the 360 being rushed out the door. There is no chance of anything that big happening to it now

Uncharted will not sell 2 million first week, dream on

The 360 is a HD console too. Blu Ray will slowly continue to gain support, but not quick enough to save the PS3 from 3rd

God of War was a moderate sized series on the PS2, it's not going to have that much effect

The DS is the King of RPGs, and the Wii is the Crown Prince (Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts etc)

lol @ 10

Isn't MAG the one where you have to pay to play online? pass

How to rebut 'The unforeseen happens'

 

Sorry mate, it's not gonna happen
