Forums - Sales - PS3/360 Gap not getting any bigger...

Microsoft isn't just interested in Sony. They also now want to go after Nintendo. It would be presumptive that Microsoft would base its pricing strategy on what Sony does alone. If they feel they can gain on Nintendo by cutting prices, they will.

Like Richard here said...

Besides, market for these HD consoles is pretty much the same.

Xbox  360 advantage - attractive price, great and cheap back catalog of games, things like netflix

PS3 advantage - bluray, Playstation brand name, some big exclusives released this year

What is so aggrevating to me is that technically PS3 already had....

-Netflix

-Facebook

-Twitter

-Motion sensing camera

but somehow these things are new when coming to 360 0_o? WTF?

now we also have

-Vidzone

-Youtube

-Pretty much any site available on the interwebs

-no fee for any of it except Netflix but thats just the standard

-etc.

 

Sigh......this is why I say the general consumer is stupid.......

A lot of people thought the 360 would be ahead by 12 million at this point. Not gonna happen. If Sony really wants to cut into that gap they could do a pricecut right before Madden. Seeing at how the PS3 is selling just about equal with th360 currently, one has to wonder if they'll be compelled to drop the price at all.

No one thought that the 360 would be ahead by 12 million at this point.  There may have been a few that thought that by the end of 2009 the gap could be that large, yet I would still say they were the unrealistic minority.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

There is only 1 year left in this generation when the Wii sold 300k last month in the US alone? k.

If you actually did some research you would know that the Natal is doing nothing the PSEye has not already shown it can do. MILO? See Eyedentify for PSEYE revealed countless years ago. Look at Sony's conference. The Motion sensing is not just with the wands, its with the already existing PSEYE!!! PSEye has voice recognition, it has motion sensing, it has depth perception. What else did you think was reading those wands on SOny's conference?

Yea, so maybe you shouldn't speak anymore before you only further embarass yourself....

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Saying the gap isn't getting any bigger is not correct since the x360 is still outselling it every week... Sure it's only ~10k, but that still means the gap is increasing, albeit at a slower rate now.
