Forums - Sales - Why the 360 will ultimately succumb to the ps3...

DonXHill on 13 September 2007

i will buy a PS3 just For GT5 im a huge fan and if the game looks like the trailer im allready hooked, Also mgs 4 looks like a killer app,

Looking at a few Rumers that the PS3 40 GIG is going to be $399 this will make alot of people jump on board as well,

Hopefully if sales go up around 50% and it brings some good numbers it can keep its AAA titels to its self.

Link for the $399 release this holiday http://gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=133528

I read your entire post, like you requested at the end of your post. I don't belive N64/PSX is comparable to this gen with xbox 360 vs. Sony
(btw, PSX didn't "completely dominate" a much better description would be "PSX won handily")

PSX came before the N64. N64 was the one hyped. N64 is the one that messed up, then later got really good first party and rare games, yet didn't win.

Xbox 360 came before PS3. PS3 was the one hyped. Both Xbox 360 and PS3 messed up, but PS3 more so imo. Both are moving to fix thier mistake (N64 did not, they stuck with carts)
I don't think we can predict the future. The end of this gen is still very far away. My guess though is the PS3 and Xbox 360 will be very close, either 5m away either way for either console, or perhaps virtually tied. I don't believe either will sell for than 50m.

Yes, but the ps1 had the games, and it looks like the ps3 will have the games as well.  My point was that the games helped the system overcome it's higher price point.  Why couldn't that happen for the ps3 as well?

Also, the ps1 did dominate.  It beat the n64 by 60-70 mil. consoles.

New IPs could turn out like Lair and Blue Dragon.


You just lost all credibility with that statement.

I reviewed both games and while Lair was a steaming pile of dog****, Blue Dragon is actually an extremely polished and fun game.

 Sorry, I don't really get into RPGs in general, so I haven't played it.  I was just going by the reviews.

BD is currently pulling a 77% on GameRankings with wildly conflicting reviews ranging from 6 to 9... which tells me that if you're a JRPG fan, you'll like the game. If you're not, you won't.

Whereas, barring two exceptions, everyone who reviewed Lair absolutely hated the game (hence its 58% on GR).

I can't wait for those titles (MGS4 and FF13 in particular) to be released so I don't have to read the same argument over and over and over anymore. Just as Halo3, I don't think they're going to be the miracles you think they will be.

I completely disagree..360 has the best lineup now and for the future. Each heavily hyped PS3 game seems to succumb to poor reviews. Lair, HS, does anyone doubt games like uncharted will suffer the same fate? Those games are ~8 material at best imo.

Already the 08 360 lineup is looking strong. NG2, Gears 2, Halo Wars, Alan Wake, Banjoe 3, Marvel MMO, Fable 2, etc etc etc.

Plus not even to mention Blue Dragon (just released) Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey, Infinite Undiscovery. Those are four jrpg's while PS3 has zero. Of course this is not even to mention the tons of 3rd party mult-platform games.

Stuff like GT5 is nice but it's not system seller anymore, it's just, a 360 owner will just buy Project Gotham instead. Meanwhile, Sony has no title as monstrous as Halo 3. Just look at the fact MS can have a $130 legendary edition of Halo 3. Sony has no title, not GT not anything, that has that much rabid popularity to get away with a $130 edition, and have hundreds of thousands of it sell.

360 just has an awesome depth of games..both in 2007 and 2008.

 LMAO is he serious ?  GT5 not a system seller LMFAO delusional much ehh.

10/10 flamebait troll job, its really that good.

FF13 or MGS4 would not get away with a 130 special edition, do you even have no clue WTF your talkin about.

BTW, one of the big things you're ignoring about the PSX success (and its games) were a few things:

1. CD format instead of cartridge saved devs loads of money
2. Super-simple to program for (C++, basically)
3. Sony was extremely helpful to developers

Now look at the PS3:

1. Blu-ray format instead of DVD-9 is costing devs money
2. By most accounts, it's hard to program for the Cell (compared to the easier 360)
3. Microsoft is extremely helpful to developers

MS has basically taken Sony's successful formula and tweaked it for their own use while Sony has only strayed from that great formula they used for the PSX.
