Do you think the PS3 will surpass the 360 in sales when it's all said and done?

Hirai said it would at the end of its cycle, but Greenburg said it won't even if the PS3 doubles in sales and 360 sales are flat, not even until 2014.

But what do you guys think?

In NA, the chances are slim, but everywhere else, it's very likely that it could happen.

Nope. Sorry, but it is just too far behind. Sony has been Dethroned by Nintendo for 1st place, then by MS for second. Fanboys can whine and wimper all they want, but sony is dead last this gen.farrell2k

No. Not in NA and not worldwide. Sony simply expected consumers to shell out too much money for thier system initially and the damage has been done.

The 360 is substantially cheaper and can play games that are pretty much identical which has taken a portion of Sony's hardcore gaming fanbase, while the Wii has picked up a huge portion of their casual gaming fanbase. Sony did have the cheapest Blu Ray player going for them, but unfortunately even that's no longer true. This gen is a wash for Sony, but I'll be eagerly awaiting news of the PS4 specs to see what they learned this time around.

MS is in a better position to execute any brand strategy.... When Sony tries to apply pressure with a price drop... MS will just counter with one of it's own...While the sales for both systems will increased...the gap will be minimally affected...

I sure hope not, if Sony does overtake MS, how much money do you think the next playstation will be? How many unnessasary things are they going to try and tojan horse into our living rooms? Don't get me wrong, I don't want MS to monopolize the video game market either. I just want Sony to learn their lesson and realize that the consumer is not as dumb as they once thought.T-Aldous

not unless xbox is the leading cause of cancer

lol

If you look at the life spans of the two systems is likely to happen... Seeing as how the Ps3 was made for the long run while the 360 was just rushed out for a quick buckW1ckedGo0se

what do you me all said and done? i think they will till atleast 2011 or 2012 when the next xbox comes outjohnnyblazed88

It's definitely possible with the exclusive games coming and a price cut I could see sony outselling m$ they won't be able to touch nintendo but they can get m$ 360 is only $8 mil more and thats pretty shameful for a system with a one year head start without competition

It's not gonna happen. Even though I will probably be getting SFIV for PS3 (PS3 d-pad > 360 d-pad) aswell as FFXIII (one disc > four discs) and even though I am very much looking forward to Heavy Rain and the next Team Ico Project (assuming it will ever come out), anything Sony do right this gen will be too little too late.

They've had their chance.

... there simply isn't any viable reason to think the PS3 is going to SUDDENLY shoot past the 360.Steppy_76

If one day the news channel reports that Nintendo ripped everyone off with a console and no dependable software to justify its longevity, instead of going with the flow and keep pretending to be as intrigued as the ignorant 40 year olds out there, I think both PS3 and 360 would surpass the wii in sales.

And then the two ACTUAL game console makers can duke it out.

2 years is not said and done it's just the beginning and you can say the same about the xbox360 3 years and it still has the same 8 million lead from the 1 year head start.

Yep. 360 will always have that lead over the PS3 :D
