These comparisons make me laugh.... gaming has a MUCH bigger market and audience these days...

Hell.... the population of the earth has increased by OVER 50% since the launch of the Atari 2600.

How many people in eastern europe... even western europe (excluding the UK) even bought an Atari or had the opportunity to buy one... similar story for all early consoles including early Ninty systems.

Yes, because the population of countries such as india, china and the wealth distribution in developed countries tend to go hand in hand with each other.

Please, did you just use global population as a reason why the VIDEOGAME industry should see linear growth? Should we not factor in poverty rate, socioeconomic status?

Those 3 TARGETS should be TAKEN OVER BY march 2010!!!!!

waht after that? SNES?

I don't think so. The Xbox 360 will past those target long before the PS3 does. The PS3 will never catch the Wii.

But the thread isn't about the Xbox 360 overtaking anything, it's about the PS3. Also, what does the PS3 not catching the Wii have to do with anything? You say that like the 360 will ever catch it, it won't either...

Neither will catch it. Who cares if the PS3 passes last-gen game consoles. It's suppose to as the PS2 sold over 100 million units. This thread is dumb as everyone already knows the PS3 (Xbox 360 and Wii) will past most of those game consoles in sales. It's a given.

"It is the 8th best selling console of all time not counting its current competitors."

LOL

why are you LOLING

don;t you know what that means

FF8 REMAKE CONFIRMED!

Because it's funny. The PS3 is having a nice surge now, but after the holidays it'll be selling no better then the XBox 360 and the Wii will still be surging ahead. Once the price drop excitement wears off ( and it will, just like the Xbox 360) sale will be close to XBox 360 for most of this generation. It's all going to come down to games and what new things get offered. Microsoft has Twitter, Netflicks, Facebook, Natal, nice exclusives and Sony has HOME, Motion Sensor controller, some decent exclusives. I don't see the PS3 passing the PS2 in sales. If they ever do catch the XBox 360, it'll be too little too late.

Red- People said that would happen a week after the Slim launched. Look what happened there.

Green- That is purely your opinion. I personally think that the features you mentioned for 360 are pretty meh and i wont be using them. And as for exclusives, i think PS3 > 360.

Blue- Wait... Who said that will happen? The only home console this gen that has a chance of passing PS2 is Wii, and even that is unlikely imo.

Yes, it's my opinion and I'm not talking about weeks after the PS3 Slim launched I'm talking 6-10 months from now. I'm not people, I'm me. I don't care what other people think. lol!! Exclusives are different for everyone. I like some PS3 exclusives and some XBox 360 exclusive. I play more of the xbox 360 exclusives. I don't think one is greater then the other like you do. That's my opinion. A lot of people said the PS3 will sell over 100 units this gen after it launched. You'd be surprised what people said. It's still not going to pass PS2 sales and neither will the 360. The Wii might come close. the DS will pass it before this gen is over.

If the thread is so dumb, why'd you post in it?

Because like everyone else who've posted, I have an opinion.

It's dumb because it makes the PS3 look good, when we all know that the PS3 is domed.
