I honestly believe that the PS3 can still come back and beat the Wii and 360

Think about it: the PS3 was built to be future proof. They made it to last 10 years, just like the PS1 and PS2. It has a great lineup of games, that just keep getting better every year. In my opinion better than the 360 or the Wii.

The PS3 sold more than the 360 worldwide last year, and it will definitely sale more than the 360 in 2008. This trend will only continue year after year. Also, the 360 will stop being produced in 2011 when the 720 comes out, and the PS3 will still be a viable console that sales well. Also, the worldwide economic downturn will benefit the PS3, because people want to get more out of their money, including games, blu-ray, free online, and wifi, and also media center and sd card slots. Also, there were almost 200 million PS2 owners, still waiting in the wings to get a PS3. Once the games come out, look for 180 million customers to jump in. The Cell will make sure of this.

Also, the Wii is a gimmick, plain and simply. Gamecube 1.5, with motion controls. Eventually people will realize that mini games are not that fun, and the PS3 will outsell it in maybe a year or two.

Hence, the PS3 can still come back and will the sells war.

WELL YOUR OPINION IS WRONG

but rly...its not going to...idc i still want one

If Microsoft releases another console in a few years, nobody is going to care about the PS3 selling better than the 360 or the Wii.

Although I do agree with you the Wii is a gimmick, I do not agree that the PS3 will sell better anytime in the near future.

So who made you dis believe in that fact ? PS has a very good history and no matter what people at SW say it wont change a thing.PS3 is going to easily take them in around 2010-2011.Cant say about the wii but Xbox 360 is surely going down.lesner87

I know. Easily 2011, 2012 at the most.

It has a chance to catch the 360, but I don't think it'll ever catch the Wii. There are certain parts of the country where the Wii is still sold out.

Also, check your facts. The PS2 is nowhere near 200 million owners. It's around 120 million.

Its certainly possible, people laugh it off instantly, but PS3 is still selling as well as the PS2, its not enough to out-do the Wii, but if the Wii does eventually phase out, I could see the PS3 coming out on top, even if it is after the generation is over, its still pretty suprising it sold so much at such a high price tag in the first place, when you get a decent SKU at around $299, and a couple more big name games out, it will eventually at least take second. 110million

Where are you getting that the PS3 is selling as good as the PS2?

No and here is why:

PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 17.1 / 82.9, bringing total shares to 26.0 / 74.0. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 283.2 weeks (August 27, 2013).

This is old so the gap would be much larger

Catch up to the Xbox360? Maybe. Catch up to the Wii? Not this time. The Wii has proven to be a smash hit. It's this gen's PS2 and it's just running away with sales. Unless the PS3 can catch casual fever like the Wii it'll only be a battle for second place this gen.dragonpuppy

Its this gen's PS2 in sales alone, when you compare how long the Wii has been out to what exclusives and how much 3rd party support the PS2 had by this time in its life, its not even close.

That's what I meant. Sorry if I didn't make it clear. I meant hardware sales since that's what I think TC was talking about by catching up.

this whold sold more then the 360 in 07 so it must sell more then the 360 in 08 thing is bull

in 07 the ps3 just came out in europe and the eu the second largest game market it had oppening day sales to pad its world wide numbers

now im not saying it will or wont outsell the 360 this year but going off last year does not tell the whole story

If the 720 launches early... wouldn't that just put the PS4 in the same position the PS3 was in? Especially now that MS has really cemented itself as a legit console maker and a contender with the xbox and moreso with the 360.

Also, it would take a miracle to outsell the Wii. Like there would have to be some massive revolt for something totally unexpected in order for the Wii to get toppled. Like a legit report that Wii's are made in sweatshops where children are publically raped and murdered if they make a mistake in manufacturing... or aliens come down and invade us via the Wii so all Wii's must be destroyed.

I think it will pass the 360 in worldwide sales in 2010, as for the Wii, perhaps it might in the long run once new gen started but im not sure.EVOLV3

do the math, how much would the PS3 have to outsell the 360 on a monthly basis to surpass it by the end of the 09?? I'll help you,(with a 5mil lead) the PS3 would have to outsell the 360 by 333,333 consoles a month to surpass it by Dec. 2009 (185,185/mo by 2010, 128,205/mo by 2011) Its not happening!

If Microsoft releases another console in a few years, nobody is going to care about the PS3 selling better than the 360 or the Wii.

Although I do agree with you the Wii is a gimmick, I do not agree that the PS3 will sell better anytime in the near future.

lol that wouldn't benifit M$ if the 360 is doing good. Will just help ps3 sales because poeple already know M$ knows nothing about longevity.

Silly fakeboy, tricks are for kids!

I thought you had finally had been banned...

The problem is is that nintendo instills into peoples minds that their console is actually FUN AND ORIGINAL when in fact their games are the same and the idea is novel for a week. People are stupid and fall for this garbage and thats what makes the WII popular. I have no doubt that PS3 will catch up and surpass the Xbox360 but the WII is not going to be over taken.Panther501

See my earlier post. Math doesnt lie, its not happening no matter how much you, or anyone else wants it

Actually PS2 has sold over 140 million consoles. It should be closing in on about 150 million now. Check your facts.

I'm pretty sure ps3 life will be longer than 360s. So overall it will sell more units. Any1 who knows M$ will know how badly they end things.

I am baffled as to why people act like microsoft killed consoles early for like 5 straight generations. They backed out early last gen because they were losing money. The 360 is making them money and they turn a profit on every console they sell, it would be stupid to say they are going to back out early because that is what they did with the xbox.

360? Could be, but i don't think it will.

Wii? Almost impossible.

360, easily (end of 2009 at the latest)

Wii, no. Realistically, the Ps3 just can't reach the broad appeal of the Wii. It certainly can challenge it if they were even priced (one word - Eyepet), but the higher quality is offering something the Wiis new target demographic just don't need.

The PS3 will maybe catch the 360........The Wii...now thats a pipe dream.

Sony's dominance is over....more than half their market share is gone and it will be surprising if they retain any of it back..

Also, there were almost 200 million PS2 owners, still waiting in the wings to get a PS3. Once the games come out, look for 180 million customers to jump in. The Cell will make sure of this.

Perhaps I'll take my predictions from someone who can do basic math, thank you very much.

I think it's possible. Not all to likely, but it's very possible.

And before you guys start blindly bashing, ask youself, did you really think the Wii would do this well?

Anything could happen.

well if you round to the nearest "whole number" meaning always round up and you pick the significant number at 100 millions he is correct

but doing that all this gen systems are even at 100 million
