| dsgrue3 said: When PS3 hits 30 million, Sony will release firmware that allows the spread of mass viruses to destroy all Xbox360s which will force owners to purchase new ones. It's all a giant conspiracy. MS and Sony have duped all of you. jk |
nice one lol then prob ps3 can beat wii lol
| CGI-Quality said: This year's numbers will just cancel out what Microsoft accomplished last year, putting the gap back to 5.5mill WW. Sony needs more than that to make significant headroom. |
Not at all. This momentum will take it further than the gap just before Microsoft's 2008 cut, for sure.
Just a question of (a) how much further, and (b) how effective the Natal/pricecut response is.
Advantage PS3: 170,000 units last week (if the vgchartz numbers are to be trusted).
"Well certainly with the Xbox 360, we had some challenges at the launch. Once we identified that we took control of it. We wanted to do it right by our customers. Our customers are very important to us." -Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb (10/2013). Note: RRoD was fixed with the Jasper-revision 3 years after the launch of 360

Gens already done..........only time the ps3 is going to beat the 360 is in that time frame that isnt important i.e after the next gen starts.
N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

Microsoft is much better in the advertising department and cutting deals with major retailers at critical times to boost sales, Sony just doesnt seem to have a full grasp of this concept that advertising drives sales, I know their "it only does everything" campaign has boosted sales but microsoft continues to undercut them and create deals with retailers such as wal-mart giving customers 50 gift cards, which believe it or not is incentive enough for them to purchase that console over a ps3. Only time will tell, but I dont see the ps3 ever overtaking the 360 in overall sales.

I wouldn't say by any means it's out of the question for PS3 to outsell 360 before the arrival of next generation hardware.
1. Natal may not take off.
2. 360 is at a distinct disadvantage as far as market saturation, period of availability, demand, and base manufacturing cost.
3. If most people are correct in assuming that Microsoft will be first to reveal and launch their next generation of hardware that that could have an ill effect on 360 sales as consumers hold off for the new expensive product.
Following your reasoning in 2008 XBOX360 ALREADY WON THIS GENERATION.
OWNED!!!!!!!!

Oh, and please read my sign:
Maybe it's the fact that Sony was once on top of the mountain in this industry, and the fall from grace has been swift and brutal. The worst thing about being on top is the fall to the bottom, and maybe the transition from PS2 dominance to PS3 heel-dragging has had a damaging effect on the fanboy psyche, leaving them vulnerable and insecure. Maybe fanboys are suffering from a severe case of paranoid delusion, brought about by denial that the PS3 is in third place when once Sony was leading the charge.
