Forums - Gaming - The ps3...has it lost any chance of it getting 2nd or 3rd place?

yeah at least wait till after Christmas before giving up hope. I am thinking its going to have a stellar holiday season, especially if the 40GB $399 model shows up around Thanksgiving.

1st is lost even in the 360's eyes.

The battle for second is being waged as we speak. The Playstation name is a strong brand. All Sony needs to do is capture their NA and EU markets. The 360 can't compete in Japan. If Sony can own EU, it has a chance.

Regardless, it'll be close. Think Xbox Vs GC in terms of the difference between consoles sold, not the actual numbers.



It just depends on how aggressive Sony is with their pricing. If they do a $400 model this Christmas it could change a lot, probably not 1st place, but it could really give the PS3 some room to grow. The games are finally on the way, and some are already here, so at least we won't have to deal with crazy ass droughts. SOE and NC Soft games should help out too beyond the Sony first party stuff.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

BTW DD your banner is f*cked up.

On Topic: I do believe its going to catch up but with Microsoft trying get the Falcon SKU's out and bringing countless titles for the 360 I really don't see the PS3 surpassing the 360 but they will have a close battle.



unusual to see leo-j lose hope, things look bad this year but perhaps they can pull 2nd place ahead of 360 by a small margin.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Thanks for the heads up, W29. The photos section of VGC keeps going in and out, and that's what was hosting my banner. Damnit.

But to be honest most of those games you say like Assassin Creed or Call of Duty or Devil May Cry 4 are multi-platform and considering that the userbase for the 360 is bigger those games are going to sell better than if they are on the PS3. So first party stuff and third party exclusives to the system is the only way to push the PS3 to the limits this holiday season. If we see no progress of them at least getting close to the numbers of the 360 then its curtains for Sony this generation than.



Why so down. Being a fanboy is ridiculous to begin with. Just enjoy your system, next year will be very different for Sony owners and there will be plenty of stuff to let the PS3 flaunt its stuff.

If it never passes the Wii (or even the 360 in WW sales) who cares. Eventually prices will be low enough to own more than one system and (gasp!) might even own a Wii/360. Then you will wonder why you were ever feeling this way in the first place.



PS360 ftw!

Currently playing..........

Gears of War 2, GTA IV Lost and Damned, Little Big Planet (Yes I said I had no interest but my girl wanted to try it and we did and now Im hooked )

I doubt there will be a 40 GB. I think it is just a rumor.
