It's already slowing down. It may fall behind 360 again in a couple weeks. 360 gets word of mouth in America because everyone and their friend has one.

Well yeah, that may be the case in America, thanks god the rest of the world uses their brains on more daily bases > can see the valua of PS3 over megahyped Xbox.



MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising

Things have really changed this gen and it's gonna take more than a price drop to catch up to the 360.

and again someone where forgot the earlier  release of the xbox. to bad for you, the PS3 is in front if you compared on the same lifespan.

If you can't deal with a good counterargument, you probably shouldn't post stuff like this

 

 

The XBOX brand name has definitely skyrocketed this gen, and this time it has much more than Halo to keep it going, expecially with all the former Sony exclusives going multiplat. The RRoD really is a thing of the past now - bringing it up is like scraping the bottom of the bucket. You might find it hard to come up with a current issue.

I just mean for non XBOX Fanboys, the thing which comes immediately to my head when I hear XBOX Brand Name is RRoD, even non-console gamers know the XBOX at least by RRoD. But maybe it is one of the reasons why the XBOX selling so well in US. I mean CD Sales of Janet Jackson also skyrocket after Nipplegate.

I am curious what in the american market is so different from ASIA / EUROPE? Just because it is american company?

But coming back to the original question: Will the price drop with the new DEsign be enough? What must happen to the PS3 to be successful in US?

Wow some mean Sony fanboys are the prowl in this thread! I'm looking raight at you Laffer and kornster!

When I think of Xbox, I think of Halo, great online, great games, etc... No denying the existence of rrod but come on, you guys are obvioulsy trolling! And bringing up the "comparable timeframe" argument here is rather pointless don't you think.

OT - What a strange OP... Yes it will sell better (it already has...). Now the holidays are up for grabs I believe between all 3 console makers. Think Wii will win (price cut to the rescue...) and it'll be a virtual tie between 360 and PS3.

Sorry. I over reacted to you. I didn't agree with your statement (the comparable lifetime thing) but it was not a troll comment so I shouldn't have called you a troll. Sorry (again).

I maintain that Laffer certainly looks like a troll though...

Listen. I am german! I am sure that 80% of all american which at least know the Term "Germany" would at first think "Nazi". And I have to live with that! Are therefore now all germans Nazi? No surely not! We have overcome this. Are therefore all Americans trolls? I do not think so.

You talked about the XBOX brand name beeing so famous. That is what for most of non-american people may come to their minds. Like for americans when they hear Germans: probably german cars, or german engineering will not be the first in their mind.

But we have come far away from the original post...

What can Sony do, to have more success in US?
