I think it's just a matter of time till the PS3 outsells the 360 and becomes the console king (the Wii doesn't count because that's not really a serious gaming console). When it comes to graphics, PS3 games have caught up or surpassed 360 games. PS3 is getting better exclusives. And the PS3 is a much more feature-packed console. And I think the PS3 will have a much longer lifespan than the 360.

Who agrees?

No way. Xbox just has too stable of a library.

And the Wii is in fact a gaming console as I play it close to the amount of time to the 360. You cant just say that one console isn't important.

Right now 360 has the console graphics king until killzone 2 and then some more games on both consoles will dethrone that. So their graphics are on par with each other which is not good for Sony bc we all thought it should not even be close. But either way does not matter bc xbox had better graphcis then ps2 and well...

And no I don't agree with you.

I think it will eventually sell more than the 360. But it may not happen this gen, it may happen when the next gen has started. And the Wii counts.

I honestly don't see the PS3 over taking the 360 and definately will not over take the Wii. The Wii IS a gaming console, regardless of what you think and it is beating the **** out of both the 360 and PS3.

Anyone remember in 2007 everyone was saying the PS3 was worst off than it is today and it would fail....and then we all found out that the PS3 almostt sold over a million more than the 360 despite being $600 and "no games". That is why I am not worried.....and fully expect that haters to be wrong.

You lost as soon as you said the Wii doesn't count. But everything I bolded I basically agree with, but discounting the Wii, you lost.

Not with the 360 arcade selling for $199. This is a bold move by Microsoft and it will put SONY in a difficult spot.

You are so wrong about every part of your post...

The PS3 has caught up or surpassed the 360 in graphics? I hate to break it to you, but Uncharted has always been the graphics king, and still is.

As far as the PS3 passing the 360, it isn't going to happen in my eyes...and now is probably the worst time to be trying to defend the PS3 when 1 article after another is criticizing the PS3. Bad sales, bad holiday sales, no price cut, the waste of time that Home was...And Blu-Ray is a waste right now, nobody will pay 35$ for a DVD they could get for 5$, not in this economy anyway.

Things look bad and they did it to themselves. I've been saying it all along, 1 stupid choice after another. Right now it looks like they'd be lucky to break even this gen, let alone pull back into the race.

I hope the PS3 comes in a distant third by the end of this generation. Otherwise Sony will try to do the same thing again next time. If they learn their lesson with the PS3 then maybe the PS4 will be more reasonably priced, won't be crammed with a bunch of crap we don't need, and it won't be so hard to develope a game for it.

Number 1, the Wii does count... it's trumping both of its competitors combined... how can that not count? Number 2, it's possible that the PS3 may eventually outsell the 360. But I can't see that happening in less than 2 years... meaning it'd be too late for that to actually mean anything. All three consoles are going to enjoy some success this gen, and even with the Wii's massive hardware sales... no console really stands a good chance of 'dethroning' the other.

I like everything they included in the PS3... and obviously price wasn't a problem for me, I was an early adopter of both the ps3 & the 360, but price will be a serious issue moving forward I think. No matter how much I love the PS3, their price point was ridiculous for mass market adoption and I'm actually kind of surprised they've faired as well as they have... they're lucky to have decent market branding.

it's not a matter of thinking. it's impossible. the 360 / Wii would have to die a death of console cancer, and this man would have to take over Sony marketing:

I still have yet to see anything so great about the graphics in Uncharted. Its beautiful, no doubt, but it ain't all that. I would say that it looks about as good as Bioshock except Bioshock has MUCH better water effects.

How do you figure? PS2 is claimed by many to be the best console ever made...If PS3 is last, it looks like Xbox has dethroned it and become the new standard.

Even if it does, it will be a hollow victory for 2 reasons:

1. The Wii still will have crushed both its competitors

2. Beating MS by anything less than a huge margin (millions) means nothing, since it still means Sony hemorraged marketshare and mindshare this gen, both for consumers and developers.

I think that the only reason that the PS3 has sold as well as it has is because of brand loyalty. If the 360 would have been $600 with all of the same stuff as the Ps3 then it would have been dead and buried by now.

Im not looking for any math to prove that crap. I'm beating the gamestop guys eardrums til death asking about when they are getting Wii's in. I just love games period. I come to System Wars to stay informed, be entertained, and discuss gaming consoles. Other than that, they are just games. Im happy with the PS3 and the 360. Hopefully they get some wiis in so I can blow some cash on that worthless peice of crap. lol.

you're the one saying 'yes i agree that the PS3 will outsell the 360' and you apparently come to SW 'to stay informed' show us the math - because i know it's impossible, and we proved it 3 times now in SW. do the math, or admit you don't know / aren't sure it'll outsell the 360.

it's simple, i'll get you started.

figure out how much more the PS3 has to sell per month to catch the 360. then figure out how much they'd have to sell if the 360 maintained its current sales. you'll see how silly it is to claim the PS3 could ever catch the 360, let alone exceed it.

You could argue each exclusive's visuals but everyone will have a different thought so tie there. If you want to talk multi-platform games then you'll have to explain why some PS3 versions are junk compared to the 360's. You will have to also have to explain why the PS3 with it's more power can't do any better with the vast majority of multi-platform games. It's a fail for the PS3 because it's supposed to be better but it's not and I don't think you'll see any difference any time soon. I don't think any PS3 fan wants to talk sales. The 360 is pretty much destroying the PS3 in software sales and currently winning the hardware sales by nearly 500k consoles so 360 advantage. What exclusives? Sony has lost most exclusives they had on the PS2 and the new IP ones they got have faired pretty badly. Haze anyone? I think the 3rd party exclusives will dry up and you'll be left with just Sony ones and few of them are actual system sellers. You'll have to point out things the PS3 can do that the Xbox 360 can't. I will admit it can do one thing the 360 can't which is play blu-ray movies but it has no impact on games so far. Blu-ray might pay off in the distant future but it remains a movie only benefit. Heck, I would guess that at least half of the current PS3 sales are because of the blu-ray bit. Then again, the 360 sales could be doubled had they include the hd-dvd drive. Life span.. don't see any difference between the two consoles. Please provide reasons why you think the PS3 will last longer. And please the next time you wish to create a thread like this, break down each point with specifics so people can comment on them with more detail.

Yes, I agree. But it doesn't really matter. Last gen when the Xbox was in second place, it was still fun, in fact my favorite system last gen was in THIRD place, the Gamecube. And this gen regardless of who is in second place, or even third, they will still be fun.

I understand what your saying, but IMO....I dont think that Microsoft is planning on selling the 360 for 10 years. Well, Sony seems like they want to sell the PS3 for that long.IMO the PS3 does have legs....Its already ahead as far as Hardware wise. When the 360 is scrapped...and Sony keeps on with their slow but steady pace.....yeah, they will pass the 360. Thats how I feel about it.

The 360 will have an 8 million unit lead over the PS3 by end of December this year, meaning the PS3 has gained no ground on the 360 since being launched 2 years ago so no.

I think it's just a matter of time till the PS3 outsells the 360 and becomes the console king (the Wii doesn't count because that's not really a serious gaming console). When it comes to graphics, PS3 games have caught up or surpassed 360 games. PS3 is getting better exclusives. And the PS3 is a much more feature-packed console. And I think the PS3 will have a much longer lifespan than the 360.

figure out how much more the PS3 has to sell per month to catch the 360. then figure out how much they'd have to sell if the 360 maintained its current sales. you'll see how silly it is to claim the PS3 could ever catch the 360, let alone exceed it.

I understand what your saying, but IMO....I dont think that Microsoft is planning on selling the 360 for 10 years. Well, Sony seems like they want to sell the PS3 for that long.IMO the PS3 does have legs....Its already ahead as far as Hardware wise. When the 360 is scrapped...and Sony keeps on with their slow but steady pace.....yeah, they will pass the 360. Thats how I feel about it.

even if the 360 stopped at 8, and the PS3 went for 10 (despite MS saying they'll support the 360 until 1 day after Sony stops supporting the PS3 - look it up) it's still impossible. your feelings don't line up with reality.

MS will sell the 360 as long as it is making them a profit. I think the 360 has major legs as long as it keeps getting great content and from the sound of things, it will. MS seems to have a Halo/Gears strategy. Release a Halo game or games one year, Gears game the next. Case and point, Gears of War - 2006, Halo 3 - 2007, Gears of War 2 - 2008, Halo Recon/Halo Wars - 2009, Gears of War 3 - 2010. You see what I mean.

I think there will be a new XBOX come 2011 which will of course be the big news for MS that year, but the 360 will stay in production. I also have a feeling MS will announce Halo 4 for that new console in late 2010 to get every one hype for the next XBOX in 2011.

I'll be honest and say I predicted the PS3 would tie the 360 by the end of 2009 when it was first released. However, I was not expecting them to lose their 2nd biggest exclusive FFXIII (no one did). I think a $299 GT5 bundle in 2009 could do it though, plus all the other good looking titles coming out.

Not gonna happen.

The "hard-core" market is almost saturated and casuals are buying the wii.

The numbers just aren't there, and even a price cut won't matter at this point. The ps3 doesn't have enough exclusives and even a price cut won't make a difference. By the time the ps3 is $200 blu-ray players will be $100 so people won't even buy it as a blu-ray player.

Sony got arrogant and is now paying for it. They thought most of those ps2 owners would buy a ps3 on brand name alone. They were wrong. Even if ps3 sales were to pick up in 2010/11 ms will just drop the next xbox.

The winners of this gen have already been decided.

Sony deserved to lose, their hype machine has gotten old. Remember the ps3 supercomputer talk? Or ps2 toy story graphics bs? F them, they deserve to go back to the drawing board.

MS official quote on the matter: 'We will support the 360 until exactly one day after Sony stops supporting the PS3.'.. i don't think this means they'll stop is the PS3 tanks, but it means they're in it for one day longer than Sony is.. i.e. they're not dropping out early.

I actually disagree with everything you said. Have you seen the November sales figures. Lets see the wii sold a STAGGERING 2.04 million units. So yes it does matter in the industry,millions more than the PS3 at the moment. The 360 is outselling the PS3 by a very big margin and it already has a good lead over it in sales. 360 sold 837,000 in nov. vs PS3's lowly 387,000. the statistics show that the PS3 is going to be a DISTANT third this gen so why would I agree with you?

Distant is a strong word, I think PS3 will remain competitive. It had a bad holiday, what do you expect? It's facing two consoles who $200-250 and the world is having a financial crisis.

I think PS3 will eventually beat 360, and I think it will live longer, kind of like the Super Nintendo eventually beat the Sega Genesis. However, Sony dropped the ball by not countering Microsoft's price drop. Having the cheapest PS3 SKU be twice as expensive as the Xbox 360's cheapest SKU was a bad move, regardless of the recession.
