The 360 is now dead last every week, even in its own territory.

People thinking PS3 is not taking over are the same people who bought a HDDVD drive for their 360 believing it was the future.

The 360 is not dead last, the PStwo is dead last..

I wouldn't say never, but Sony took a drastic step...as there's no way it cost effective to launch a REDESIGNED console for $100 less, but with that said...the PS3 is enoying some early success, but let's wait until the Holiday season is over...I suspect M$ has a few tricks left, as they have become very good at bouncing back...I remember 2 years ago...and all the talk about how PS3 was going to dominate...and 2 years later, it's was in a deeper hole, with this Hail Mary pass as it's only chance. Sure, sony scored on it, but they were down by +2 TDs, so it's not like they won yet.

America is not the world. The ps3 outselling the 360 at all is a massive accomplishment in the Americas.

Your thread makes no sense. You fail to acknowledge anything Sony will do in response.
halo has been proven to not sell systems anymore, Natal we have no idea of how successful it will be. Both of the new motion controls will be complete failure.

Its too early to tell.

How is Halo "proven to not sell systems anymore"?? ODST didn't sell systems, (but it still sold 2.5 million copies).

 

ODST is just a expansion (though I like the game) on the Halo 3 engine. It's nothing like a REAL halo title.

 

Real full on Halo's come every 3 years. 2001, 2004, 2007, and now in 2010, Reach.

 

What you fail to mention is that Sony already price cut. MS did not (not really). So the next price cut is a lot more logically likely to come from MS than Sony. It's quite possible, even likely, that in 2010 360 will recieve a price drop, but PS3 will not.

Also, I think, and most unbiased observers agree, MS lineup in fall 010 looks better than Sony. Reach, Natal, Fable 3, and possibly Gears 3. Whereas Sony has pretty much shipped all their big franchises after God of War 3 and Gran Turismo 5 ship. I dont know what Sony has lined up for fall 2010. I'm guessing maybe Resistance 3? Nothing huge.

Too bad you mean sales, because under any other criterion I would say the Playstation 3 has already won. Unfortunate.

Actually, PS3 Slim sales are quite disappointing if Pachters NPD predictions are correct. After so much hype it will barely top the 360. Thats with free Blu Ray, free wi-fi, and free online compared to 360, and no RROD. What else could Sony do?

 

And that's Slim's first month. It can only fall from here most likely. Will it even win October? November? December? I'll bet that it wont.

 

And I'll tell you another thing, Microsoft is gradually training people that 360 should cost the same as PS3. PS3 and 360 with 120GB hard drive cost exactly the same. Yet 360 is not drowning. I mean to me, that's amazing. 360 is supposed to cost way less than PS3 in order to sell. Soon people will just expect that 360 and PS3 are the same price, and 360 will still win.



Sorry, i will have to dissapoint you. It may happen by the end of 2010.

here we go again...

For PS3 to overtake 360, PS3 will need to outsell 360 by:           
                     
498,015 per month to catch it by Jan 2011. 114,927 per week, on average every week.  
276,675 per month to catch it by Jan 2012. 63,848 per week, on average every week.  
191,544 per month to catch it by Jan 2013. 44,203 per week, on average every week.  
146,475 per month to catch it by Jan 2014. 33,802 per week, on average every week.  
                     
Current rate is:  -139,071 p/m on average for the last 12 months. PS3 will never catch at this rate
    69,877 p/m on average for the last 6 months. 8.91 years to catch at this rate
    183,998 p/m on average for the last 3 months. 3.38 years to catch at this rate
                     
Negative number means 360 is still outselling PS3 by that amount per month on avge          

From the 28th of September to the 27th of December, 2008, the PS3 and 360 sold the following amounts:

Console PS3 X360
Total
3,658,321
5,534,032

PS3 need to outsell x360 by 2 mln. this year and next year during last 3 months.

And for the rest of year to sell around 60-70k more, than x360. This, with help of GT5 i see possible.

But anyway, does it still matter? Yes, it will happen eventually.
