@Slimebeast, seriously predicting 2 years into the future is a crapshoot. You have far too many game, price and accessory variables in the mean time.

Even seriously predicting this Christmas season is a crapshoot. I feel sorry for the people who live & die for their console brand of choice.



Being in 2nd feels so much better than being in 3rd

It's funny how optimistic people still are about the X360 and second place.

I guess it's hard for people to imagine, but please, close your eyes, imagine in your head that PS3 outsells the X360 by 1 million consoles this Christmas - what would the feeling be among you? Same as 2008 - that PS3 has momentum while the X360 'is dead' and destined to third place this gen.

The gap would be less than 7 million.

End of 2010: 4 million

End of 2011: gap erased.

It's funny how you can't seem to look past this christmas and beyond.

Where is Kowenicki and his How PS3 has to sell per week to close the gap chart when you need him!

Best response by Microsoft would be a Xbox360Slim

they are a software company, it was a hell to make a 360, and still not totally unbugged.

can they really do that?



If someone really wanted a ps3 they went out and got a ps3. It cracks me up that people think that just because it's 299 now everybody will just run out and grab one now. Then if Microsoft drops the price even a little, you will hear all the same excuses over and over again, oh it's too expensive it's 299, and they need a price drop. People just assumed that the ps3 would just show up and win when it came out and since it hasn't lived up to expectations, people aren't used to it so they write articles every five minutes about how they can win this year and how they can when next year. It just funny watching people react to this price drop.

Exactly. no-one buys things once they become cheaper.

The sales boost the 360 enjoyed was also just a figment of peoples imagination, as was the spike in PS2 sales after the price drop.

I mean, everyone who wanted one already had one, right?

Yeah you are right that's why the CHEAPER dreamcast and the CHEAPER gamecube outsold the ps2. Thanks for setting me straight. Oh and for the record when ps2 became pstwo, it was already way, way ahead of the competition not in third place.
