Forums - Sales - will the 360 ever outsell the ps3 again worldwide?

MissingNo on 20 October 2009

Yeah there will be weeks

1. Price cut weeks
2. Gears of War 3 week (or maybe not since ODST didn't push hardware)
3. NATAL week perhaps



I'll do a signature later

$149 Arcade on Black Friday this year

Probably this. Great way for retailers to get customers in the building on the biggest shopping day of the year.

Of course it will. 360 is a lot more popular than PS3 in the US and it still has the edge in Europe. Japan's really the only market in which PS3 dominates over the 360 but that market is shrinking.

Depends on has word of mouth informed the remaining potential audience about the price of adding a hard drive(needed for utilizing most of the 360's capabilities)?

 

If not, then it's a likely scenario that the 360 could yet again outsell the PS3.

Small inconsistency in bold.

Others =/= Europe :)



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

... To elaborate: Black Friday is a time to buy cheap lcd tvs, cheap laptops, and yes, anything else that is cheap. I read that if you want a higher end tv the best sales are in the weeks after Black Friday. Black Friday is made for the Arcade.

Edit: Don't take this to mean that I have a problem with the Arcade. I think it fills a very important market space, and is perfect for many consumers.
