Forums - Sales - THE GAP - PS3 can't catch the XBOX360 - pure mathematics

Not many people left to buy a 360. Price point already at $200, so what you see now, are some of the best sales it'll ever see. Pretty pathetic actually. On the other hand, the PS3 has a long way to go and the sales will spike. Lots of people will still buy the PS3 regardless of any further cuts to the 360, the impact will be lot bigger.

 

Meanwhile in the real world ...

@ megadude...

i have no fucking idea. obviously. but i imagine that sony spent as much if not more on R&D for the PS3 over the 360.

 

 Hee hee you just proved that you don't know shit so let me put you on son.

Market Cap IS how you determine how much a company is worth baby. You are right it's 166 Bill for MS and 24 Bill for SONY (by the way the market cap for MS has dropped 100 million in the past two years). Got that? That means that MS is 7 times bigger then SONY.

Oh and how much was PS3 R&D? About one third of what Microsoft lost on the original X-Box ALONE. Or about twice as much as MS has paid for RROD thus far.

market cap is how you VALUE a company NOT how much cash they have to spend.. which is what I said and not what you said... so thanks for agreeing with me

now going to answer my question... when does the PS3 pass the 360... the month and year please.

thanks.

 

 It has already passed it in the same time frame  by 3.4 million. Next question.

So you agree that it is not "if" but "when". Correct?

Now I have a question for you:

How will the 360 outsell the PS3 when the PS3 has sold 3.4 million more in 2 and a half years then the 360 did?

How will the 360 outsell the PS3 when it uses inferior DVD and is already struggling to compare with PS3 exclusives?

How will it outsell the PS3 when you know it will be on the shelves 2-3 years less time?

How will it outsell the PS3 when the PS3 gets a price drop?

How will the 360 get a price drop so low that it's cheaper then a DS?

How will it outsell PS3 when not only does PS3 play blurays but it has a better game lineup then 360 and is taking 360 exclusives every day.

How will it outsell PS3 when PSN is getting bigger and better then XBL and is free?

How?

The answer is: It can't and it won't. You are right it is not a question of "if" but "when".

Come back at christmas, that number wil be significantly lower. Then where will your alligned launch chart get you?!

How will the 360 outsell the PS3 when it uses inferior DVD and is already struggling to compare with PS3 exclusives?

Hasn't hampered with sales so far? Killzone 2 hailed to be the best looking console shooter and its done fuck all? so this point is invalid.

How will it outsell the PS3 when you know it will be on the shelves 2-3 years less time?

Consumers dictate how long a console survives not the console maker. You have no proof whatsoever that the PS3 will outlast the 360. Just a fanboy dream.

How will it outsell the PS3 when the PS3 gets a price drop?

The Xbox 08 Price cut was more effective than the PS3 07 price drop, Microsoft will combat it. Not to mention Japan is a shadow of itself and even with a price drop the PS3 barely managed to do any damage in america, all you can hope for is Others ...

How will the 360 get a price drop so low that it's cheaper then a DS?

Honestly ... do you have to ask such a stupid question? Microsoft will cut costs down and lower the price .. simple. Consumers arnt going to say "oh its really cheap it must be crap" ... consumers are not stupid.

How will it outsell PS3 when not only does PS3 play blurays but it has a better game lineup then 360 and is taking 360 exclusives every day.

LOL 360 exclusives every day? joke account confirmed ... what is your main account megadude? Bluray has done its damage, no more to be dealt there. Also wait for E3 before giving your OPINION on game line ups.

How will it outsell PS3 when PSN is getting bigger and better then XBL and is free?

XBL > PSN and you can only wish in your wildest dreams it will ever come close. I don't think you will be seeing many demos on PSN in the near future what with Sony charging ... hardly getting bigger or better is it? :)

How?

^^ Talking about the PS3 there ... you're correct.

 

that, my friend, is an excellent post. :)

Actually its pretty dire.
