"PS3 to make the greatest sales comeback in history of console sales wars"

The PS3 may not be able to catch the Wii, around 30 million behind it but it could be a closer gap than we may expect. Anyway its not the sales comparison of PS3 and Wii I want to make in this thread. It is the PS3 versus XBox 360 console sales comparison.

PS3 will comeback by outselling the XBox 360 in console sales wars. The gap between PS3 and 360 is between 7.5 million to 8 million. 360 was launched a year ahead of the PS3 with a 5.5 million to 6 million lead. 360 is half the price of the PS3 and yet it only has slightly outsold the PS3 by a mere 300k for first 20 weeks in 2009 around 15k per week on average. PS3 has remained at the same price of $399 for almost two years and it has sold around 22.5 million systems at or greater than $399.

PS3 leads the 360 when we align their sales launches for first 30 months PS3 and 360 have sold on the market.  We see PS3 has actually sold 3.4 million units more than 360 for first 30 months of its life. Sony brand power for you helping pushing PS3 sales.

You all want to know how the PS3 will comeback to outsell the XBox 360. Let me tell you all. PS3 has a long list of exclusive games to be released: God of War 3, Uncharted 2, Gran Turismo 5, MAG, FF Versus XIII combine this with price cut very soon in the near future, PS3 Slim and 10 year lifespan. Expect PS3 to outsell XBox 360 in lifetime console sales. PS3 will beat the 360 in console sales ltd. PS3 also has a lot of huge exclusive games already on the market: Uncharted, Resistance 1 & 2, Ratchet and Clank:ToD, WarHawk, Heavenly sword, Valyrie Chronicles, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, Little Big Planet and the biggest games of them all Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4 games that are worthy of PS3 purchase on their own. The multi-platform games past, present and future are on par or better on PS3 and the online play is free with PS3 through PSN which makes online gaming affordable for PS3 owners.

History will look back on this as being the greatest comback in history of console sales wars.

My closing words to all the doubters out there: "Just you all wait and see"

 

Just not true. 2 years ago the ps3 launched in Europe for 599€...

Yeah I was going for kind of a James Bond/Austin Powers play on pun. You might say inFamous ... might not be so ... Famous? lol. Resistance didn't put up ... much of a fight. The lamer the better. ;)

Hell yes. On a sidenote, Austin Powers is probably my favorite film trilogy ever.

Really? I also love Austin Powers (except the third one) but I'd never put them above The Godfather, Lord of the Rings and the original Star Wars trilogies.

What can I say, I like to laugh.

Though, it's my personal little shame that I've never seen The Godfather trilogy. Planning to, but haven't gotten to it yet ;_;



Aligning launches and then comparing sales is nonsense. Don't you think Sony would have released in PAL regions before Christmas if they were able? Even releasing in only two regions before the end of 2006 they were claiming supply constraint and continued to do so for some months into 2007. By aligning launches Sony would not have been able to sell any more systems because they simply didn't have them to sell at that time.

Claiming handicaps is just lame. It is Sony's fault that the PS3 is relatively expensive, it's their fault launches weren't aligned and it's there fault it released after the 360. They are the facts of the story as it stands and we can't change, excuse or ignore them and can't make predictions or assumptions future sales based on manipulations of these facts.

Sony is ~8 million systems behind the 360 as of now and will continue to be in this position until such time as it starts significantly outselling the 360 for a prolonged period, something which it has entireldy failed to do in it's first ~2.5 years.

If it's as "amazing" as the "domination" that the PS3 had in japan before it popped and fizzled, then I'm sure Microsoft have nothing to worry about.

The real story is how the console "leader", that had sold over 120 million ps2's, is barely hanging in the race for second, with only a fraction of the systems sold that the Wii has.

Even if there were a hypothetical comeback, the story that people will remember for years to come will be how the Wii handed the PS3 it's ass.

u know nintendo pass through that too right?

I will catch the Xbox 360... even if it's the last thing I'll do!

 

That was the vibe I got from the OP.

My closing words to all the doubters out there:10 "Just you all wait and see"

 

1. Can you prove that the Arcade sku is the only out at retail?

2. Launch alignments are stupid....Just face it..Xbox 360 came out before the PS3 did..That's it.....How much the Ps3 sold when it first came out has nothing to do with the sales on the Xbox 360 when the PS3 was not out.....

3. It has yet to do so......And 2009 is half way gone almost...

4.Do you work for Sony?....I don't see how you can know this for sure...Sony still loses money on every PS3 made and sold...And you feel that they can afford a price cut soon?....Adding their billion dollar loss....I don't see how you practically garantee this...

5.Ps3 would have to start outselling the Xbox 360 by a 100k starting now....

6. When?.....this year..next year?.....your not a very good analyst.....it's nice to know that you follow your God blindly....

7.Some one already adressed this.....reread that post.....

8.PSN makes companies bleed money due to bandwith cost....I hope you don't expect any big 3rd party Online games to be exclusive with out a Contract from Sony.....

9. Sure it will.....

10. I was waiting till 2009 to see how the PS3 would so...And since E3 predicts that the PS3 will outsell the Xbox this year...I find it funny...here we are with half the year almost gone..E3 around the corner..and still the Ps3 has yet to outsell the Xbox 360.....
