Um, think you got it reversed there man.. PS3 slim won't boost PS3 sales that siginficantly. I doubt it'll even match 360's sales let alone Wii's.

Does this mean the PS3 will finally outsell the PS2 in monthly sales?

GH5 and Beatles Rockband will help the Wii. Nintendo is more secretive than Sony/Microsoft too. They could surprise everyone with a price drop if they felt it was needed.

What makes you think GH5 and Rockband wont help the PS3? Its only $50 more than a wii, and you get a blu-ray player..

Because the GH fanbase on Wii is bigger than the GH fanbase on Xbox 360/PS3.  Rockband has the most pre-orders on Wii.

Nope, the Wii will still be greater than all. But it is good news to Sony fans and Final Fantasy fans. The console is cheap enough to all them to pick up a PS3 and Play Final Fantasy XIII whenever it launches. This may hurt the Xbox 360 sales when Final Fantasy XIII is released. I thought that when Final Fantasy XII launched in the West that the Xbox 360 sales would increase and be above the PS3. But I'm not so sure now. Then again the Xbox 360 has a higher userbase in the west.

I definately disagree, the Wii is going to be loosing market share fast, specifically in a place called JAPAN, were TALES OF VERSPERIA is coming out on the PS3 during that time. Europe I see ps3 going lunatic.. the U.S I dont know..

ToV might be big if it wasn't already released a while ago.  It might do OK in software sales but I don't know why you think it's gonna sell systems, if they were such a big fan of the series to buy a system for it they would have bought a 360.  I don't see the price cut/slim having a huge effect in Japan beyond short term, it isn't accompanied by big games.  I agree with you about Europe and US.

There are still at least 300k people who bought Tales of the Abyss that did not buy Tales of Vesperia. There is some room for growth.

Those are two different games that you are reffering too. Tales of Vesperia for PS3 is only going to have minor differences than the Xbox 360 version. The overall story will be the same as will 98 % of the gameplay. It could be as low as 1 % but that depends on how much new content Sony requires for ports.



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba

True, but 360 users are not really buying alot of SE's rpg's. PS3 owners are starved for both an SE title and as well as a good JRPG. This price point for ps3 i believe is the tipping point for FFXIII to sell better on ps3 in all regions.

360 users also haven't had a SE game called Final Fantasy released on their platform either.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

ps3 outsells 360 wii outsells both.

Thats my prediction.



Buzzi on 19 August 2009

IMO Wii>PS3>360...Wii will sell more than 800k for sure, maybe more than 900k...ps3 uhm...from 300k of the last week i think can be boosted to 500-600k, but 800k it's too much...360 will sell as usually, 400-500k...

But there are many "???" to put on there: 360 price cut (elite instead of pro)? Wii price cut (they can do it when they want, it's overpriced now)? Wii bundles?
