Is there anyone that still thinks the PS3 will not be in last?

It has already been almost 6 years since the current gen started and it is about to end since the next gen Nintendo console will be out soon. The PS1 and PS2 were the leaders in games scores, amount of games and console sales but the PS3 has really flopped.

-last in sales

-at least 2nd if not last in amount of games with the 360 having the most.

-and I could be wrong but behind the 360 in game scores also as far as Metacritic. GS is just one site but MC handles most sites.

2 years ago, there was a console named the PS3, it was 400$, its rival was the X360, it was also400$ ...... however the X360 had cheaper brothers sold for at 300$ and 200$ .... things were mesirable for the PS3.

The gap was as wide as a sea, around 8 million consoles to be exact. Very few believed the PS3 can survive or compete with the X360, but they forgot that the PS brand is strong and the only problem was its price.

Sony decided to drop the bomb and they slashed the price to 300$ and remodeled their console, a similar move was made by MS and let's not forget that the X360 still has much cheaper models than PS3.

2 years have passed since then, too bad there is no trust worthy site to report the sales but according to the latest reports from Sony and MS:

• the X360 is at 55 million sold/shipped
• the PS3 is at 51.8 million sold/shipped

Which means the gap shrinked between both consoles by around 5 million in less than 2 years in favor of the PS3 despite:

• Kinect release ( Kinect is selling well, but apparantly it's not a system seller)
• the X360 having cheaper models
• the PSN crisis

Both consoles are still selling strong, the X360 is domination in NA, the PS3 is almost selling soley in JPN and it's dominating in EU ( simple math, while the X360 is dominating in NA, the gap is shrinking ..... the PS3 must be doingmultiple times better than the X360 in JPN and EU)

YES it Could make it ..... or not

maybe it will stay in 3rd place, who knows. Sony owned the last two previous gens, guess its time to let others share some of the glory

The hell? Wasn't like last week all about Nintendo being on their deathbed and now all of sudden we start on Sony being last?:?

Honestly by this point I don't even care what it places.:?

Doesn't really matter when the Wii-U releases. Total sales of all systems will dictate where they finish in the end. We're not going to know until they stop making these systems which will be years and years away from now. Only time will tell.

PS3 have more greater influence on world wide than 360

watch explode every where when price drop to 199

Why does it matter unless one has stock in Sony?

It matters because this is System Wars, rawr!

This.

If we're talking about lifetime sales, the PS3 will most likely come out on top.

Nintendo is last... as in general sport/competitions, even if you're winning, when you drop the towel, you lose.

I think they still have a chance to surpass 360 as a consolation prize.

If it doesn't do it until next gen, it really doesnt matter because then no one will care.

you may think that .... but those who care are what is making SW a live forum.

The PS3 will stay in last. MS has deservedly won marketshare from Sony (launch price..lack of games at launch etc.) The sales difference between xbox and ps3 is negligible though, with the Wii being the winner by far. Saying that, I game on my PS3 because I prefer the console and it's games more (not to say the xbox is lacking though).

Sony dominated with the PS 1 and 2, and what goes up, must come down (not helped by some very bad decisions by Sony at the start of this gen).

Will see how much of a price drop it gets tomarrow at gamescon(new model was confirmed awhile ago by leaks)

If there is a 200$ priced model, then maybe by the end of the year

If not, then maybe but would be in a year or 2

Take the total number of units sold of each console. Then divide that total by the number of years that console has been out. That is who is winning. And that would be the PS3. Lets not forget the 360 only has a small lead, yet came out a year earlier.

PS3 has a vastly superior line up of games, and that's what matters.

I doubt the PS3 will surpass in sales.
