Forums - Gaming - Realistic Expectations for the PS3 Slim/Price Cut

it wont catch the Wii, grow up fanboys

it might catch the 360 for atleast a short time

it will probably give PS3 sales a boost for a month or 2 and at xmas

lifetime, the PS3 has a very small (almost negligeble) chance of catching the 360


any other realistic ideas for what will happen?

Lol i think you are just being negative



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

I think PS3 has a fair chance of eventually catching the 360, with their 10-year plan.

"it might catch the 360 for atleast a short time"

Only if they choose NOT to react...but M$ has been anticipating this move since Early this year, and in fact expected it in Spring, so I'm sure they are going to announce there bombshell news as well.  I don't know what they have in-store, but methinks it's going to be significant

I m ok with these idea

but expect the price to stay something like .... 1 year at least

next year, Year to Year comparaison, will be funny :)

Serious_frusting, I think you're being unrealistic. People don't seem to quite grasp how far ahead the 360 is.

I'm too tired to do calculations right now, but if I recall correctly (which I might not), I believe that the PS3 would have to outsell the 360 by 120k each week for 2 years to even catch up to it, much less pass it.

Either way, I'm sure the price cut and the slim will have a noticeable impact on sales. It won't pass the Wii or the 360 lifetime though, although it might pass the 360 temporarily.



hey!!...who let you out the off topic forums!!!...who's was gaurd duty last nite???

you honestly think the PS3 can catch the Wii?

you honestly think the PS3 can catch the 360 within a year?

well?

im just making sure people dont get carried away, the price cut is a good move for the PS3, it is not the holy grail, it wont reverse the order this generation, but it may allow Sony to reduce (perhaps significantly) the defecit of the PS3 to the 360, between now and the end of the generation.

I think this will turn out to be fairly accurate.
