yes a 299 PS3 will out sell the 360 and beat it up :)
VITA 32 GIG CARD.250 GIG SLIM & 160 GIG PHAT PS3
I don't think we are going to see a 299 slim, probably $349. But either way they will probably be able to meet demand, at least in the US where demand won't be as high as Japan and Europe. I could see shortages in Japan when FF13 comes out.
Sony has shown a staggering propensity for poorly gauging demand for their console. It was one of the major reasons they were forced to cut the price of the console twice in one year. I would in fact the clearance PS3 sales that are supposedly going on right now would be further proof. That Sony has overestimated their success. I wouldn't wager against that kind of proven track record. They are perpetual optimists.
Price alone is not what has driven the 360 to outsell the PS3. That is merely fanboy bullshit. They think if they say it enough it will somehow be true. The truth is that the PS3 and the 360 were in a pretty fierce struggle prior to the price cuts. The justification for that can be found in things such as library, service, and exclusive titles. Those things do not go away with a price cut. A price cut may make the market more competitive.
Which as other posters have pointed out is the Achilles heal of these arguments. These events are not taking place in a vacuum. How likely do you think it is that Microsoft and Nintendo will not respond. Further more you have no idea how they will respond. Your playing with less then half the necessary information. What happens if Nintendo reduces the price of the console, or they unveil a new peripheral. What will happen if Microsoft suddenly unveils a few high end games that nobody knew about, and will all land in November.
The irony is that everyone has gone to town on these rumors, and if they are the result of what could be called shoddy corporate security. Then the competition has a pretty good idea of what Sony are up to, and that means they can actually ambush Sony. Don't laugh both Microsoft and Nintendo have blindsided Sony pretty effectively this generation. The people that should be a little afraid are the people making bold claims. How many times has the competition snatched the rug out from under your feet so you can go face first into the floor.
It is ridiculous to only work with half the data, and to draw one and only one parallel. That is a real recipe for crow eating, and since I am telling you this now you don't have the excuse of well nobody saw that coming. I am saying I am someone, and I can see something coming. Why well both Microsoft and Nintendo are actually fairly quiet. You know that scary kind of quiet before something big happens.
| The Xbox Man said: @spartan FX places in the world where people dont know what xbox is are places where NOW in PRESENT (not 5 years ago when playstation was dominant) are places where consoles don't sell much anyway If it was a ut straight to $199 you may have a point but a $100 price cut isn't that effective |
alot more people are waiting for the ps3 then they are a 360, thats not fanboy its true, i know sooo so sooo many people who want a ps3 but cnt afford or wont pay £299 but when it gets to £199 well, things will change
this is noting to do with one being shit, its to do with the fact tht playstation means alot to people who havent had anything else playstation is still dominent and people forget this, nintendo is very close to taking over (once ps2 is dead nintendo is dominant) untill then...u know what...i cnt even rember wht i was going to say lol
sorry people who are such blatent fanboys annoy me, i prefer playstation but play xbox aswell, people like the xbox man are just fanboys

Well because PS3 line up is really good beside PS3 is a different story compared to Xbox.Many places in the world don't know if xbox is candy or a pair of shoes. |
Which is why Xbox 360 is outselling the PS3 MONTH AFTER MONTH by 20-30,000 or more. Also, the average price over all 360's sold is $299.99, and dont remember people have to buy a $100 WiFi adapter to have WiFi and be comparable to PS3's gaming features, so don't say it's cause 360 is cheaper.....OOoOoOoOOO some PS3 fanboy just got BURNED.....HARD!
PREDICTIONS:
(Predicted on 5/31/11) END of 2011 Sales - Xbox 360 = 62M; PS3 = 59M; Wii = 97M

You are one of the few people that actually makes rational comments on VGC. Sorry that you usually get shot down by the multitude of Sony/Nintendo fanboys that have now monopolized VGC with irrational threads and comments.
For 3 years now, I've heard about Sony's impending "big" future while Nintendo & MS' gameplan has come to fruition.
Being in 2nd feels so much better than being in 3rd
