| numonex said: I hate to finally accept it but I have a bad feeling that the PS3 now has the unbeatable advantage over its nearest rival the XBox 360. It deeply saddens me and my heart goes out to all the 360 fans worldwide. The only good thing will be is that the XBox 360 will have enjoyed almost 5 years of being in front of the PS3 in total console sales when the PS3 overtakes the 360 late 2010. The 360 will probably get to 40 million sales before the PS3 in early 2010. But 50 million console sales it looks more likely the PS3 will get there before the 360. One week of VGChartz sales has totally changed the race between the PS3 and 360. A mind blowing 400k in 360 lead wiped out due to the PS3 Slim launch at the very cheap price of $299. 550k PS3 Slims sold in one week. Imagine if the PS3 could average 300 to 400k consoles per week for the next 12 months- it could become reality. I also believe the 360 may never outsell the PS3 ever again in worldwide weekly sales now that the PS3 Slim has launched with its $299 price and a long list of PS3 exclusive games are soon to be released late 2009 and early 2010. The PS3 outsell the 360 by more than 100k every week for the next 12 months and beyond which would wipe out the XBox 360s sales lead over the PS3. The PS3 could be the new PS2. $299 price was the same price the PS1 and PS2 launched with in America. Sony has finally delivered this generation and turned things around for good. A night mare if your a 360 fan but a dream come true if your a PS3 fan. |
I don't think you know much about the gaming industry. The PS3 isn't going to outsell the Xbox 360 within the next 2yrs. They would literally have to outsell the XBox 360 by 350K every month for 2 years to pass the XBox 360, and I don't see that happening. Definitely not in the Spring and Summer months. Redo your math as 350K for 12 months will only be 4.2 million. We've heard "The XBox 360 will never outsell the PS3 and Wii" message before. What happened. The XBox 360 outsold both the PS3 and Wii, even in Japan. LOL!! Never say never dude. The PS3 will never be the PS2. The Wii is already the PS2 and they haven't even done a price drop yet. What will the Wii do when it's $100 and the PS3 is $250? Think about that for a minute. I don't think the PS3 will catch the XBox 360 before 2012. Microsoft still has plans up their sleeve, you can believe that. With the unique Natal on the way and Microsoft's marketing muscle, I think the XBox 360 will be just fine.
