Kantor said: This should be fun. Who wants to make the first "360 is doomed!" thread? I think Darth should.

LIES! Kantor is out to get me banned! lol

ok edited.

Why don't we take a trip back into the past by editing your post slightly to say what PS3 fans were saying for months?

That is what he was referring to, by the way. I saw at least 5 threads about the PS3 going the way of the DC, Sony going the way of SEGA, etc., and that doesn't count Rol threads.

And people have to keep in mind that the ps3 still has its big daddy's to come this year...

No good JRPGs on the ps3 in Japan will soon change with FFXIII (which will move a TON of consoles)

And GT5 will move a TON of consoles in EU.

I don't expect Uncharted to do too much since its a sequel...

rofl

u can also count the sheep, 1 2 3 4 5 6 ..... 500 k  !!!

Yes we all understand the potential is there.  I don't think that needs to be restated.  I've stated numerous times with all this potential Sony could even hit their fiscal projections of 13 million.  That would obviously be quite extraordinary. 

However I can't base future sales off of first week sales.  It doesn't suggest anything other than the hype and the want was there.  But even more so first week is more a representation of people who were already looking to get a PS3 and not got to save a $100.  To really gear a holiday season you have to look at future sales in the next 4-8 weeks.  These are the kinds of people who will be buying it during the holiday season.  Those who hadn't necessarily considered a PS3 but have heard of the brand or those who were simply looking for a video game console.  These are who you try to win over in the holiday season.  If Sony continues strong sales for the next 4-8 weeks and is able to maintain it's brand, then the holiday season may be an easy win. Especially in Japan with FFXIII coming out.

But you can't tell that now.  Most certainly GT5 would help the cause but it isn't confirmed yet.  I think eventually I'm going to have to come out and say my 9-10 milllion PS3 FY10 shipment prediction will be too low but I can't base that change off first week of sales.  The potentialy is there for Sony and everything is setup right to have a strong holiday season.  But if you know anything off of sales trends... sometimes it's just not enough.  My biggest thing I have facing Sony right now is brand.  They've taken quite a bit of time in America and now Europe of having Wii and 360 be dominant brands over them.  That is going to be pretty hard to overcome when it comes to those holiday season buyers.  If anything were to stop them especially if GT5 comes out... that would be it.
