Forums - Gaming - Will this console war just turn into a big "I Told You So!!!"?

360 has been selling as much as the PS3 for a while now and something the tells me Sony has something up their sleeve that's just gonna blow this whole war away. With future titles coming out (especially GT5), a price-cut in the future (along with the possibility of BC in the future) I think they might get their boost in others (Europe, whatever)

.........................I hope that made sense

It may.. However nobody predicted the domination of Wii so nobody can say I told you so except Nintendo 



 

Do you really think Nintendo expected Wii to dominate? I think they'd have ramped up supply before launch if so.



PC + Wii owners unite.  Our last-gen dying platforms have access to nearly every 90+ rated game this gen.  Building a PC that visually outperforms PS360 is cheap and easy.    Oct 7th 2010 predictions (made Dec 17th '08)
PC: 10^9
Wii: 10^8

it will be a huge "I told you so" either way.

Since opinions on the skirmish are divided.

You think they created an entirely new control system out of the goodness of their hearts?

Miyamoto, maybe, but he'd have had a pretty hard time convincing 20,000 people if he didn't know it was going to be ridiculously successful. Maybe they did underestimate its success, but I'm 90% sure they thought it would be on top.

As for one more push propelling the PS3 above the 360, you are absolutely right. But the Wii is untouchable.

Two things I'm wondering about.

First: The 360 is becoming increasingly less feasible of a platform in Japan. I know many Japanese developers are trying to appeal more to the western market, however, they are still not going to neglect their home territory, and there are still many affluential Japanese developers / publishers. As the gap continues to increase there, I see less support from these developers for the 360. And yes I am aware that 360 is ahead in America, however, it is not a 3:1 difference, ps3 will still remain a viable platform in America.

Second: 360's success lies majorly in the fact that it is perceived to be the cheaper choice. I know it is a long way's off, but what happens when the 360 drops to $99 dollar range. How do you price cut from that to increase sales. At that point ps3 will be at $200 likely, and will still have some room to go. However, this will only take effect once this generation is pretty much over.

My conclusion is that ps3 will eventually win because of these two factors, however, it is a long ways off and won't really matter too much.



How do you breathe again?

yes, I told ya so



Too many of these PS3 will outsell XBox 360 threads.
Just give up now it is over and done with.

Anyway Sony loses money on every PS3 sold and by cutting the price will drive Sony further and further into debt.

Losses on PS3 are rumoured to be as high as the losses made by Microsoft on original XBox.



There were so much crap said in various places about possible outcome that someone will certainly say so :D
