Forums - Sales - Microsoft says it will take PS3 sales away at Christmas

Lost tears of Kain on 25 August 2007

without software thats any good, it wont be coming to an end any time soon....

Its going to be about even overall........ NA with xbox, europe with slight ps3, and japan with major ps3 so about even. I still see xbox winning this christmas though, unless ps3 can really drop the price

but who can tell the future? (besides sony fanboys)



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

Of course MS says that. Remains to be seen whether he's right though.

I don't really think so. Maybe it could but it's still 60-40 to me.

What I really want to see is the Wii sales figures this holiday season. Especially if WiiFit releases by Xmas too.

Metroid Prime 3 Hype Level: Corrupted

Reviews:

1UP - 9.0 

IGN - 9.5

It is a hardcore game through and through. You will get your ass kicked by bosses. You will be stumped by the sometimes complex, but never overbearing, exploration.

I think they will... the average consumer doesn't know about blu-ray so all they'll look at is ps3=80GB for $600 and 360 elite=120GB for $450(? did it get a price cut)

This guy pretty much only has the ability to speak for the UK market, it would seem. And if that's the case then yes, MS has a chance at beating Sony this Christmas. But in a region that small it doesn't mean a damn thing in the grand scheme of things. Oh, and if if they won over PS3 Sony this year they've still got no shot next year...

 A chance? It's highly likely.

 

360 was outselling PS3 in the UK by 50% last report we had. 

 

And no shot next year is false also. It's more likely 360>PS3 in 08 (and 09, 10, you get the picture) in a MS friendly country like UK than vice versa. Until proven otherwise.

 minus the numbers thats basically what I was going to post.

But really we will have to see as its a matter of which console has more games people are truly interested in.

360 has bioshock but you can get bioshock on PC which means it will sell better on PC which means it will take sales away from the 360 version.
