The PS3 is tracking at a similar rate to the XBox, XBox 360, and Gamecube and will continue selling at a similar rate for the rest of its life. After an awful Holiday 2007 for the PS3 third parties will move the majority of their development resources away from exclusive development on HD platforms and there will be an even split (in resources) between multi-platform HD games and exclusive Wii games; this will result in a larger Wii library with more "Break-Out" titles whilst the XBox 360 and PS3 maintain a small library of more tried and tested games and genres.

I agree to a degree...but what about Sony's inhouse teams and 1st party developers. 3rd party developers WILL stop the exclusive games for the 360 and PS3 until there is a much bigger userbase. But what would you consider to be a good userbase....15-20m. Going by my reckoning, both the PS3 and 360 will be there by the end of 2008. Thats why 2009 will be a bigger year for the PS3 anyway.

The problem is that Sony's 1st party is reliable and probably wont pull out a lot of software that people will buy the system for.

  • Wii:60million
  • 360:35million
  • PS3 30million

These are all really rough. Wii will sky rocket of course. The gap between PS3 and 360 will get smaller. Unless something happens to shift it, then PS3 will be close behind the 360 in 2009. If they claim 2nd it will be by the skin io their teeth.
