Forums - Sales - PS3 will overtake Xbox 360 b4 Christmas!! (others, obviously!!)

Looks like PS3 will overtake Xbox360 in others in 3 weeks time... Will Xbox 360 ever regain it? What next? Sony's assault to X360 last fortress (US) or that's a hopeless battle?



Quote --->  about X360, MS made a BIG anti-piracy system, it is called 3RLs, or RRoD. I know a bunch of ppl afraid to open a X360 and void warrant because they will need it...

Nope hopeless at all..MS should make a note of what happned on black friday.



Microsoft will fight back, no question...but until then......

Nothing can Stop PS3



I think PS3 is going to struggle to close gap in the US, but it's clearly going to finish well ahead of 360 in Others and Japan. By the end of January I guess it'll be all eyes on US to see if anything can change there.

Of course, MS ain't going to just take it lying down, so this is based on current trends. I await with interest both MS and Sony attempts to alter those trends.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Of course that's handily forgetting Wii.

Watch out... don't jinx it.

But, yeah, the PS3's going to take the 360 down in less than three weeks.  Because for the money, the PS3 simply gives you more, without charging for online play.  Sony's doing pretty well with the PS3.  It would be great to see what they do when the PS3 actually begins turning profit....  The PS3 has capibilities that many people just have no idea of.  If Sony gets the word out a little better, it may turn into a success like it's predecessors.  Almost everyone with an HD console has either had a PS1, a PS2, or both.  It will pick up, but, the Wii is so far ahead....  let's concentrate on one target at a time...  The Wii wont keep up those sales forever, and who knows what'll happen in the long run.  It could fall within the next two years.



Do us PS3 owners get a present if it does overtake 360 in sales?

at the current levels that ps3 is outselling 360 in the u.s., were talking year(s)... the u.s. market is going to be an uphill battle. its really anyones guess what way its going to go as far as the HD consoles are concerned. while the ps3 will pass the 360 this gen in europe, the xbox platform has definity come a long way vs last gen and IMO has been pretty succsessfull (and will probably continue to be) in europe.

while ps3 is starting to catch up with the slim relaunch and lower price, overall... given the platforms history, im not THAT impressed. seeing as how dominate the brand became in the industry, to bunder it as much as sony did. its still debatdable how much, if at all, the ps3 will expand the playstation bussiness/brand before this generation of hardware ends.

its amazing to think if sony launched the ps3 with the same ideas they have now things could have been so different, they possibly could have squeezed microsoft out of the market this gen... instead of letting them gain a huge foothold in it.

Huh, you make no sense, the BD and soon 3D were planned a long time ago just like the cost reduction which made Slim possible.

Adverts have changed in the US, but that's it.



when the price is the only factor in favor,in that way ms should move in their advantage...
