Forums - Sales Discussion - Slimebeast predicts: NPD and remaining PS3 & X360 sales 2009

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/101/1016939p1.html

I still think the numbers are kinda low btw.

I'll say 450,000 for the ps3 and 370,000 for the 360.

My reason why is because the 360 has been either flat or better than last year numbers wise. For it to suddenly drop more than 90k with the release of an anticpated game would be weird.

I also think there's more people waiting for the ps3 slim than you think. I feel that numbers will double compared to last year ( 220,000)

see above...

Ninty have released countless white plastic add ons and continue to do so by all accounts.. why cant MS with Natal?

Would kinda defeat the motto of "You are the Controller".

who says Natal cant have accessories?

Defeats the purpose of Natal. :/

What an odd answer.

Thank you for answering for me



                            

Are you US based Slimebeast? Cause the excitement for PS3 slim here in NA has been minimal so far. Hell, they are already selling it at HMV next to my work and got plenty...most of the people are not biting yet.

I don't know about Europe as I don't live there, but NA won't go to PS3 this year.

You can quote ME on that.

Japan will be a 360 raping though...

not at all.... thats your take.

"You are the controler"

"Not really, to move around you need this actual controller"

"But i thought that I was the controller?"

"No, sorry... we lied"

Im not being silly at all, im being realistic of what Natal is supposed to be.

Controler-free.

not exactly true.  some games maybe, but microsoft has said that they see tons of uses with controller/natal dual use.  Like the example of somebody playing a shooter game but using their head to look around instead of the controller.  Microsoft never said every natal game will be controller free.  In fact, I bet most games that use natal will be a hybrid use with the 360 controller.

You are being silly

Needs more 360 doom, IMO.

Lol I love how it's a circle:

 

2007 - PS3 Doomed

Early 2008 - 360 Doomed

Late 2008/Early 2009 - PS3 Doomed

Late 2009 - 360 Doomed

 

People need to understand that the 360 is still $100 cheaper than the PS3 right now.



Sound like reasonable predictions.
