I don't think the PS3 will stand a chance without a massive price drop.

Agreed. So far the PS3 has won the console battle, it'll take alot for it to win the war.

Sure. I think it needs to be 300 bucks to get into the majority of homes, but the majority of homes won't own any console for two more years.

Wether or not it is less, more or as powerful as the 360 is debatable and will be for the entire gen. They both have their share of high profile exclusives and will both see a large library of games.

However, if they were priced similarly, within 100 USD of each other by the end of next year, the PS3 would win solely on consumer loyalty and free online. If BDs take off, thats another edge to the PS3. Despite what people around these boards think, it's the 360 that has the up hill battle ( a battle it's currently winning, but I digress.) The PS3 just has to keep from sliding to far.

It should be interesting. Multiconsole owners will win no matter what tho.

It has a great chance. It's only 4 months old. Only an idiot would judge it's future based on a couple of months.

They need to start putting games that they created on discs and sell them, not some half finsihed game that you can download.

PS3 hasn't even been released world-wide so counting PS3 out of the console war is pretty fan-boyish, I think Sony are going to really blow everyone away this E3 and prove that PS3 is every bit a $600 machine.

Just look at the PS1 & 2, as you can see buying a PS3 isn't risky at all considering Sony's past success you know your going to be in one hell of a ride with PS3

I doubt it. Sony will really have to kick it into absolute overdrive to win. Wii is selling at a faster rate than 360 right now, the PS3 cannot match Wii even when the release in Europe at this rate. And the 360 is still outselling the PS3 by quite a bit, plus it's year lead. The only way Sony can win is to acquire more game and to be cheaper or the same price as 360 for them to gain more momentum. And since MS is not going to sit idly by and wait for Sony to beat their lead......I really doubt it. Sony really messed up this gen.

The PS3 will probably sell more units than the Wii and Xbox 360 by the end of the generation. It is selling slow right now but once it gets launched in Europe and other countries it'll have a great chance to win this war.

Anyone can win, I wouldn't count Sony out yet. Though I think they'll find it much harder this time around to gain the number one spot this gen, as both Nintendo and Microsoft are much better competition this time around.

Well the European launch is 1 week away and there isn't much hype over hear.  Stores don't seem to have sold of on pre orders and the word on the strrt is that they wont sell out in shops.  Costing the equivelent of $800 and that's without any games or a 2nd sixaxis.  Your looking at over £500 if you get a bunble pack in the UK.  At those prices I'm not surprised pre orders aren't selling out.  Only time will tell but I don't thnk the European launch is going to set the console war on fire.

Of course it's possible. It's a high tech piece of hardware.

I dunno I guess it might be too early to say. It needs to start beating the 360 on a month per month basis in the USA to win I would imagine. I don't think Japan can carry it to the top in worldwide sales. I think there are still a lot of casuals who trust the PS brand name but they just don't care about the PS3. Eventually they will get one. What's hard to say is what would be the turning point for it that would keep the boat pulling ahead of 360. It seems the Wii might be the best selling system by year's end but as the HD market matures I can't see people sticking with it. I think sales will start to bleed off more to the 360 and PS3. IMO Microsoft has a huge opportunity with HALO3, GTAIV, and a price drop this holiday season that could position it well ahead of its competitors if they market it all correctly.

i think the ps3 will probably win the war. its either between ps3 or the 360 cuz those 2 are hd, the wii isnt, and i know alot of people are more into the high definition than anything else right now. but the ps3 will probably win cuz it has that blu ray player. may seem meaningless to some, but from what i understand blu ray has won the format battle, and EVERYTHING by 2009 has to go high definition by government requirements FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND i could be wrong
