2011 if Natal fails, maybe even early as Christmas 2010.
Doesn't matter as Microsoft will continue to get great games on the 360, and the PS3 will continue to bleed money.



It's just that simple.

^^ Actually no,

We're only bringing this up because it looks like the losses are gong to disappear shortly. Sony Chief Financial Officer Nobuyuki Oneda told a press conference in Tokyo today that Sony has managed to get its PS3 losses down to somewhere between 10% and 20% of the system's retail price. It expects that figure to fall into the single digits before the end of the year, then turn into a profit some time during the next fiscal year.



Wait, why does anyone care again?

exactly and sony can do a lot with that money

(I predict)
one thing is advertise properly.  i know scea has already started (but elsewhere).
the console is going to get a wider range of games while maintaining its hardcore appealing to more people (motion controller)
this will effect the wii greatly

between the motion controllers release in march and natals release in fall 2010 the ps3 will be trying to dominate.
if it suceeds it will push the 360 out and may even take 1st place by 2012-13.  if it fails the gap between ps3 and 360 will be very close for the rest of the generation.

We have been waiting for gran turismo 5 for 5 years
so its gonna sell tons... definitely the game to look out for the year 2010.

Yup because and quote me on this "Everyone that purchase GT5 will purchase it with a PS3". None of the 32+ million people that will have a PS3 when GT5 releases will purchase GT5 unless they get a new PS3 with it.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

SCE execs have been pushing the "profitability next year" line since 2007.  Don't put all that much stock in it.

I think we may see division profitability sometime next year, but that'd mean foregoing a price drop probably.  Which was originally the plan for this year.

 

And then, there's also the $5 billion in debt racked up already they'll need to recover from.  That's going to be slow and probably painful...



PS3 will surpass 360 sales, this is a fact. PS3 is still a young platform while the 360 is already old. What i want to say is that the ps3 has a good future to come, the quality of exclusive games will increase a lot due to the bluray and the high-tech, sales will constantly increase or at least they will stay stable, while the 360 is now already pushed to its limits, so the sales won't increase a lot because people have already seen everything on 360.

When? I say during december 2010.

Unless the Americas finally embrace the PS3 and start buying more PS3's than 360's, it will NEVER happen.

Even the Slim hasn't really turned the tides in the Americas, it's really sad.
