How do people expect a $299 PS3 to outsell a $599 Xbox 360?

 

The 360 is twice the price... 

 

Over several years.

This is great news... I hope its true and that they do sell. The only thing is that MS and Nintendo will not stay put and watch as the PS3 slim dominates the holiday season. 360 will follow with their own price drop and bundle it up with 2 games. Then the Wii will finally get its first price drop and it wont disappoint.... 360 and PS3 sales will be closer than ever but nothing will slow down the Wii this holiday season. Not even a 360 price drop or PS3 slim.

Wii and 360 have already peaked. Ps3 is just hitting it's prime.

 

Ps3 will outsell 360 for the rest of this generation after it gets a price drop.

So... the opposition can't cut their prices too?

The wii and 360 are already cheap enough that anyone and everyone can afford them if they want.

You don't live in an urban inner city environment near the projects I take it...

Bullshit, I lived in a Section 9 or 4, or whatever it is, for a while and most of the people had more shit than I did because they received welfare and I didn't. On top of that Section 8 (THAT'S what it is :P) housing people only pay like 100$ a month for rent. Low income housing people probably spend more on goods than those who are barely above poverty line.

My point is that not everyone can afford the wii and 360.  I said the above for basic illustration.  Thats why PS2s still sell well new at $99.  And why some people have not even that.  You only need to read the news or turn on the TV to see that plenty of folks live paycheck to paycheck and that every dollar counts.



Currently playing:  PC:  Wolfenstein  PS2:  Final Fantasy X  PS3: All-Pro Football 2K8 Wii:  Force Unleashed  PSP:  God of War: CoO Xbox 360:  Gears of War 2  

Most anticipated game:  Dragon Age Origins (PC)

150 consoles were sold in the 5 th generation 160 consoles sold during last generations
let's see right now 102 million consoles are so far sold this year. If waht your saying is true about 70 million people still have not made a choice on which console to buy. Their are still people who only and buy games for their ps2. The ps3 needs about 8 million to catch up.
I don't think it'll happen. Many people I know who had a ps2 moved to the 360. Hardcore ones went to the ps3 and some to wii. You saying that it is current ps2 owners. which is running out of. Their is proberly 20 million left more if they are still buying them. So no I don't agree with you

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Oh ok, you're talking about lower middle class then.

The poor, besides environment, have much better shit than I do. I remember my friends having like 200$ sneakers and armani clothes off of welfare savings and section 8.

The problem with using those numbers in any context, is that we don't exactly know how many people owned, and now own, multiple consoles.
