That chart is pure folly. They separated Blu-ray players and PS3...

doesn't change the fact that blu ray adoption is proving slower than dvd adoption was in the late 90's early 2000's.

Investors aren't even investing as much as they normally would on the tech because there are already better techs hitting the market in the next 2 years but mainly because everyone understands physical content is on it's way out.

I actually hate it but the world will turn which ever way it wants, no one can stop it.

First Place by July 2nd 2010: ps3 needs to outsell the wii by 82000 consoles a day (574,000 a week, meaning it has to sell around 800,000 units a week)
First Place by July 2nd 2011: halve the formula, needs to sell around 500,000 a week
First Place by July 2nd 2012: cut to third, needs to sell around 440,000 a week
First Place by July 2nd 2013: quarter it, needs to sell around 390,000 a week

so according to the OP, theres a possibility that the PS3 can do 400% better than it does now and sustain that success over 4 years, giving it the crown it deserves

If the PS3 wants to catch up with the 360 before the 1st of january 2012,
it must sell on average 62.500 units weekly more than the 360 starting next week.

I really don't think Sony can really come back from this massive damage they have incurred. A price cut will definitely help sales, but what makes you think MS won't counter? They have room to make price cuts and are apparently trying to edge Sony out of the market.

The 360 slim is on it's way. Rest assured. The valhalla motherboard is probably it, as it will reportedly combine both chips into one 32nm-45nm chip. The arcade has already received the upgrades neccesary for another slash in prices.

Oh Lord, not another post like this. Same story, different post.

Why? why did I even enter this thread?

because you knew it would be an absolute flamewar.

thats awesome
