You just wait until Resistance 2 hits the stores...oh,wait...
You just wait until Heavenly Sword hits the stores...oh,wait...
You just wait until Killzone 2 hits the stores...oh,wait...
You just wait until God of War 3 and GT4 hits the stores...360 will surely be doomed...doomed I tell you...Doomed...

@stan85

Ps3 has been "doomed" since 2006 E3 according to you guys

its still alive

PS3 got the most hate a console could ever get in its first year....yet came out of it with dignity

there's no spinning that

On second thoughts you are right..... it has to be doomed!!

Sales are ONLY UP 60% (2009 v 2008)... thats not enough... I was expecting 100% at least even though it is now in it 4th year and has passsed the mythical 3rd year (you know the year when all consoles peak)


for reference

PS3 DOWN 13%

Wii UP 38%


Well squill... those sony guys took the bait and spouted some blind nonsense once again. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

 

It's the only console to ever be able to keep up with the others and sell the amount it has at it's price

 

On another note this thread is gonna go straight down the drain. Well it's already headed there.

Hmm soo releasing an overpriced console after selling over 140million PS2s and expecting it to do the same or better. And now dead last and losing ground to the 360 is not doomed????

PS3 fanboys are hilarious. "Look the PS3 its not dead ppl are still buying. Yeaaaa!!!! Its not doomed. Its still alive. SONY must be happy..oh wait. But for the price its doing awesome...oh wait didn't SONY expect it to sell better than the PS2 much less than the 360 when releasing it.""

 

Get it through ur heads PS3 is a huge failure. Do u really believe SONY would release a $600 console and not expect it to sell well. THey expected ppl to buy it like how the Wii is selling. They were arrogant, blinded by success. MS even though are a very successful company took it one step at a time and now look how the  360 is doing.

I won't feed the troll above me

but I will say one thing

if PS3 is considered a huge failure by you....then many previous console makers who launched at $600 would long for such a failure to happen to their consoles

The op's satire aside, yeah MS is in a bit of trouble in that in two console generations in a row, they have only been able to produce a couple of games that have ever really been worth their hype and produced significant sales. IF the majority of Japanese developers don't all go to the Wii and significant games like Kingdom Hearts 3 come to the PS3 while other titles like FF Versus XIII remain exclusive to the PS3, then there is little doubt left about the 360 finishing an embarrasing third this gen.

Oh good, you continued in the spirit of the joke thread

Thats like saying if Microsoft released their next OS for $1000. Will it fail? Yes, but it will still sell more than others who have released at that price.

OR

If APPLE released their next IPOD for $400. Will it sell. Hell yea but they will tremendously lose ground and probably not be market leader bt will still sell.

SONY on the other hand are in a much worse position as they are also losing money

Sorry, I went there.

 

I just cant' imagine a world where Microsoft and Sony don't participate in the epic struggle for last place in the console wars.



Thanks for the input, Jeff.
