Forums - Sales - Five reasons why the 360 will probably have a longer lifespan than the PS3

Points:

1.) I wouldn't say they were smarter if they were they wouldn't have had the rrod thing.

Sony is the batshit dumbass company this gen, but we won't go there.

2.) Yeah, even if the PS3 was selling so badly that it was being pulled from American store shelves it will be the reverse when PS3 hits 6 to 7 million sold in Japan during the next fifteen months. So what does that mean? And, we would start to miss out on all those jrpg exclusives that will be heading the PS3's way once it establishes that large of an install base in Japan while the 360 will still be under 1.5 million. I would miss them. I like jrpgs more than shooters.

Japan is a fairly insignificant market. Selling at best 5k a week there doesn't mean much. Furthermore I hope you like the Wii/DS, because they will be getting the majority of them.

3.)When more Japanese games start to come to the PS3 as a result of what I outline in 2, you will see more diversity in third party games for the 360 and PS3.

A diversity only a very small niche in the west care about, way to dodge the point.

4. ) Actually as far as exclusives go on 360 if game isn't called Halo or Gears or Fable on 360 it tends to have far fewer sales than most of the exclusives on PS3.

I could say that no exclusive which hasn't been bundled has cracked 3M on the PS3, really you're still so frightened of Rol that you resort to sillyness.

5.)releasing a year earlier typically means that you'll be the first to release your next console while the other system will probably be out longer. Genesis, SNES.  Dreamcast, PS2.

Finally you address the OP properly! Err No, you have to prove why rather than just stating because X happened after Y, Y causes X to happen.

 

 



Tease.

Both consoles will be out until the stop making profit....



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

i dont think the 360 will last longer
one reason is the ps3 has along way to go with price cutting while the 360 is pretty close to its end price cutting wise also ps3 has a bluray drive while the 360 uses dvds for gaming

this is the best answer yet



PLAYSTATION® is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Theres a difference between:

Fact:Belief

Xbox:PS3

Wii:PS3

I get the impression that it follows this model in this thread.

Halo 3 has a huge chance at outselling GT 5 when released, due to the PS3 userbase size.
