It will get harder and harder for Sony to justify the existence of a PS4 if things keep on going this way

 

LMAO

So how will MS justify the next xbox if the current one at $200 sales slightly more then a $400 PS3?

$199 360 w/ bundled games

$399 PS3 w/o bundled games

Nearly identical sales... And the PS3 is the one in trouble? Whats wrong with you guys?

The 360, which is twice the price of the PS2, is outselling it now.  So, why are you going in this direction?  A PS3 that is twice the price of the 360 is NOT outselling the PS3.  Also, do you think the 360 comes with just one model?

 



In terms of profit, Sony probably don't care too much if the hardware sales are down as the PS3 is still making a loss. They're pushing the software more in order to increase sales. Worldwide only 11000 behind 360 isn't that bad in terms of sales (although one could argue they're both doing bad due to the current economic climate).

They really need a boost in the US and UK and if the UK is anything to go by, they really need to advertise more. But why would they want to advertise something they lose money on? If anything, they need to advertise their first party software more.



Well get used to the PS3 negativity because John Lucas is about to drop a new article about Sony financial situation. He informed me he is a little late on typing it last night on Animal Crossing: City Folk.



Lol at xbots. PS3 is selling bad 360 is selling worse. One more price drop and It's going to be Sub DS price.


Going to say this to you again. One more price drop and it will be cheaper then a DS or a PSP. One more price drop and it is officially bargain bin.

You made the wrong choice. Live with it.

Again your favorite console is now cheaper then the Wii and still can't even come close to outselling it. Last month you beat the PS2 by a whopping 3K, IN THE US. I thought you had America on lockdown?.... Hellz no.

One more price drop.... Lol in fact this is for you MS: I dare you to drop the price down to $150 and feel the utter humiliation of being outsold 2 to 1 by the $250 Wii and maybe you can still sell on par with the PS3. You hear that clock ticking? That's the sound of 4 years on the market fast approaching. But hey....You'll have the Zune HD right?

I don't think any of the PS3 fanboys realize how Japan skews the PS3 numbers.

Look at the NA and Europe numbers, the 360 outsold the PS3 by 22,348, or 26%

MS is probably worried that it sold so low, but they just need to look at the PS3 numbers and feel better about their situation.

The economy is hurting, not as many people are willing to spend $$ on a console.

Why is the 360 barely outselling the PS3 worldwide on a weekly basis despite such an extreme price gap? Are the two consoles not similar? What is going on?

It is true that all three console makers are taking a hit. How can the PS3 be doing poorly against its competition if they are also struggling to keep their heads above water?



What to do? ... Ill continue to play on my PS3 thats what ill do =)

Should be more concerned with the cheaper 360 being only 10k higher :/

 

inch or a mile... still ahead...

 

 

It's within the margin of error, so we don't even know if it is actually ahead.

Also, thank you for  bolding your post.  Since what you say is more important than what anyone else says, your bold-faced font helps me notice your very important message.
