Forums - Sales - PS3 will overtake XBox 360 by December 2009 in worldwide console sales.

Exactly, making a case based on best case scenarios is very weak. One could make a case that the Detroit Lions will go to the Superbowl next year based on best case scenarios. It's not at all realistic however.

The scary thing is that MikeB really believes what he is saying.
He is not just defending sony on VGC and then crying as soon as he logs off because of the lackluster ps3 sales.
I sincerely believe MikeB thinks he knows the truth and he is right and everybody else is wrong.
The is how powerful sony pr can be on die hard fans.
Really unbelievable, and quite amazing when you think about it.

If all the right ingredients are there then I consider this a possibility. I agree a significant price cut is needed, Gran Turismo 5 will be needed for Europe, Killzone 2 will need to be a sustained hardware pusher for North America, Final Fantasy XIII needs to be released in time for Japan.

360 sales will have to slow down as well but with its most antcipated games already out and all popular XBox games having already seen sequels I think this is likely to happen in the course of 2009.

Hopefully Blu-Ray continues to outperform DVD and consumers will get more educated on differences in console specifications in general. Playstation Home may become a selling feature.

But IMO it wouldn't be a shame if outselling the 360 install base happens in 2010 considering the 360's huge headstarts (and entry pricing as low as 119 Euro, including 19% tax and free games).

you are funny :)

 

I like how you spin some of the PS3's most anticipated games being delayed so long as a good thing for SONY's future.  And I don't understand why people use a system having released a bunch of anticipated games in a timely manner as support that the system will not sell as good as the competitors now.  Like more games will never be released or announced.

When developers release AAA exclusives, they immediately shrivel up and die. Momentum comes from delays.... You know, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

It's kind of like saying a high price is an advantage because you can drop the price more. Spin, Spin, Spin...

You spin me right round baby, right round,

Just like PS3 was going to dominate 360 in 2006.....2007.....2008....



PREDICTIONS:
(Predicted on 5/31/11) END of 2011 Sales - Xbox 360 = 62M;  PS3 = 59M;  Wii = 97M

Well, that's how many predictions end up. People looking at one side of the story and completely ignoring the other. Good thing the first post seems to be a joke.
