Except that there will be something called the Wii which will still outsell it.

Well obviously the Wii is gonna sell more than BOTH, but I mean PS3 vs. 360 in terms of sales.

EDIT: The Wii has got a long way to go to catch the 120+ mil that the PS2 has achieved, but it's doing good so far, can it keep it up?

Seriously, cows should at least wait for the total sales of PS3 to be more than the 360 before celebrating and even then it wouldn't be like it was with PS2 unless it can beat the Wii. Achieve all that and I'm will really be impressed.

You said its going to like the Ps2 all over again, which implies the PS3 will outsell both the consoles by a factor by 6:1. And yes, the Wii can keep, its sold 20 million in 1 year, and with no price drop. Imagine what will happen when it drops to 150$ price range.

As for PS3/360, it wont be as bad as the ps2 days. The 360 still has a 7 million install base lead over the ps3. At its current, it'll take the ps3 1.5-2 years to get a larger install base. And thats not withstanding a price drops from MS, which we all know is coming, especially after their poor sales in January.

So you believe the Wii will surpass 120+ mil? The PS2 is STILL selling, I see Slimline PS2's at my local Wal-mart all the time. I think everyone who wanted a 360 has gotten one, and there really aren't the killer games coming out this year that we saw last year, this year belongs to Sony, Halo has came and gone. Then again Gears of War 2 could sell some systems. As for the Wii I don't know, nobody expected it to nearly as good as it has done, so it will be exciting to see what happens there.

I cant really say if the Wii will 120 million or more, but I'm pretty sure it'll be the best selling console this generation and outsell everything else at least 2:1.

1 month of being outsold by the PS3 by 30k in the US doesnt mean"eveything who wanted a 360 already has it". The 360 needs a price cut, badly, and it does have some killer games coming, but even I'll admit the ps3 has more system sellers coming this year. But by no means does the 2008 belong to Sony.

Sales wise it belongs to the Wii. Games wise it belongs to the PC. And the games line up between the 360 and ps3 is very comparable, Sony just has a couple of more system sellers this year.

I agree about what you said about the PC, but I really just mean the consoles. Yeah the Wii will sell the most this year for sure, no doubt about it.

Well, then I do agree with you that ps3 will outsell the 360 this year and will eventually catch upto its user base in another 2 years, but I dont think Sony will enjoy the same domination it did in the ps2 days,

It's a milestone. The PS2 has been outselling the Xbox360 and the PS3 has outsold the 360 in other territories but this is the first time the PS3 has outsold the 360 in NA.

Unless Microsoft goes for a price drop and seriously fix the RROD issue, the PS3 will probably catch up considering the current small price difference and the heap of interesting major titles the PS3 has up its sleeve for this year.

I agree there are too many loyal fans who haven't switch over from ps2.

I think the Wii already won this gen. But there are only a few good games out for it and they are all made by Nintendo. And the PS3 will win in the fight against the 360. The next gen started with the releases of the Wii and PS3. Microsoft came to early!

It'll reach it by summer 2009.

It won't last.

PS3 is still in 3rd place on total sales. But they had a good month. January.

You have to keep in mind that it outsold the 360 in a month where all three performed horribly. I think we need to wait until around May where we can see a decent trend develop, contrary to the current cow hysteria.

If you add on the diffrence in console sales in Europe and Japan the ps3 is probably a good 120k ahead this month worldwide.

i agree. ps3 has already outsold the 360 w/o the help of their biggest titles. i really think the ps3 will at least out sell even the wii during the months that MGS4 and GT5 comes out.

Yeah I agree, and we need to wait for a trend in sales until we announce the fate of the PS3 and 360.
