Forums - Sony - Sony to Dominate 09? (Note if you dont like Sony Stay out!)

Viper1 on 11 January 2009

PS3 domination begins in 2006  2007  2008  2009.

 

You'd think we'd have learned by now.   The PS3 isn't going to dominate.  It WILL provide plenty of great games and services to those who own one but it will not dominate the market at any point this generation.

The PS3 will probably surpass the 2009 sales of the 360. No doubt about the PS3 has the best games this gen.

 

No it doesn't. It might have the seemingly best lineup for 09, but we can't predict the future. As for its past library, well, we all have our opinions, but metacritic, million sellers, and most people(even Sony fanboys) on this site should disagree with you.

It has a good library, but saying it has the best library this gen, right now, is imo, a joke.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Isn't it obvious by now that having the best lineup of games means shit this gen?

 

 Agreed. This gen, the less games you have, more hardware sales you get.

 

QFT.  Seriously, what games were released on the Wii this year that justified the # of sales it got?  I'm struggling to find anything besides Punchout to put on my Wii wishlist, yet I can't seem to keep up with my PS3 wishlist.

 

I suggest Sin and Punishment 2. It could very likely be a top game of 2009, and the justification for continued ownership of the Wii...until Zelda comes out.

It seems ps3 will likely to failed in 09, so based on last year.

Does nobody read the thread title?

Being realistic =/= hate.

Expecting it to dominate is silly....and i'm saying this while moving around for random battles in Final Fantasy Tactics on my PS3.

PS3 will dominat 2009, like it's dominated 2008.;)

Sony missed their opening they needed to beat the 360 insalesthis gen by not having a price drop last october. When the next price drop happens I think PS3 will tie for most months of that year then take the lead over 360 after 6 months.



 Go Team Venture! I still don't get the Wii, PS Move,  and Kinect.

2009 will be a great year for PS3 owners. And when you look at the releases Sony definately has the best 2009.

Yeah whatever Wii will still outsell it. All I know is I'd rather have good games on my console then have my console selling the best.

If B/C comes back, then I might consider it.

That was a penny wise, pound foolish decision by Sony. It freed up the PS2 owners to choose any console. And most have decided not to buy a PS3 at this time.

If you have a PS2, you can play your PS2 games on...a PS2...I still do it when someone else is using my PS3 for another game or a movie.

I think you have missed the point. Most console owners are not as obsessive as you or I. And remember, the PS2 had owners had everyone from the occassional gamer to the obsessive player -- that's how you sell over 125M consoles.

Remember though, the average console owner buys less than a dozen titles for their consoles (look at historical software attach rates). So they really like the games they have and play. When switching from PS1 to PS2, there was a choice that would enable people to only have one console since the PS2 played the PS1 titles.  However, after the early versions, PS2 owners did not have that option. Thus, if they were going to have two consoles, they were free to choose. And either many appear to be saying (1) there are still PS2 games coming out, I am not upgrading, or (2) I am going to buy something different because the PS3 won't let me existing PS2 games (or any new ones I might want) and I wll worry about Bu-Ray later.

If there was backward compatability, people might say -- Hmm. New movies. Old games. New games. One unit. I think I will buy a PS3. 

That was the point I was trying to make. And I can personally say that I was interested in Sony's new console, until B/C was pulled. Now I have a Wii and am more likely to get a 360 as my next console than a PS3. (Right now I have a PS2, Xbox, and Wii hooked up to my TV. The Wii replaced the GC. So I am brand agnostic.)

Here are some games that are coming out in the first quarter of 2009 for the Wii.
Madworld, Sonic and the Black Knight, Deadly Creatures, the rerelease of both Pikmin and Mario Tennis, House of the Dead: Over Kill, Dead Rising: Chop till you drop, Little Kings Story, Tenchu 4, The Conduit maybe in the first quarter. There are some pretty good games coming out for the Wii in the first quarter. Sega with most likly the strongest lineup. Let me know if I missed any more games. There could be some big sellers in that lineup.
