Forums - Sony - PS2 is repeating itself with PS3, domination begins in 2010

We will see...

Currently the 3rd fastest selling console ever... Maybe it still will be when the next shipment data's come in, while it's not up to PS2/Wii standards, beating PS1 is something good.

Will it "dominate" like the PS2? No.
Will it continue to have really good sales? Yes.

I wonder if it can surpass or get close to PS1 sales when all's said and done...

When has Resistance 3 ever been confirmed in development?



I don't see PS3 "dominate" next year or go on to sell 100+ million in its life time to beat PS1... that's just me.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Most video game "journalists" (they're only "journalists" in the same sense that, say, Glenn Beck is) actively want one of the HD Twins to win, and the Wii to fail. This one is just more open about it than most of the others.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Wii is the only console that will dominate this generation, PS3 sells well but it just wont beat Nintendo.



The PS3 for most of its life received heat for the device's price point. $599 was the launch price of the console so you can imagine the amount of flak Sony received. Now the PS3 is only $299 and selling out all over the world.

All over the world!


Anyway, the sales comparisons with PS1 / PS2 are off. One must take into account the fact that both consoles launched much earlier in Japan (exclusively), which is why their launches look very poor.



Sorry, not even a chance for catching the Wii, but if it keeps it's momentum it can be on par with the 360 someday around 2014........



This is simply the type of article with a tasty headline that gets views and attention, pity its all BS.



nojustno, I only own a PS3 and its my favorite system of all time but PS3 will not dominate Wii and even though I believe it will outsell Xbox 360 in 2010 (and I also believe it will pass its lifetime sales) it will never pull a PS2 dominationish thing.. also the PS3 made HUGE losses for Sony and the PS3 is sales-wise no PS2..

there are a few similarities but that aside.. nojustno!
