Microsoft expecting November NPD's to show 360 doubling PS3's sales

I was fine with all the PR stuff until he said that "Blu-ray is clearly not the next DVD."

some links:

Black Friday

Netflix

Japan

UK

I think he might have put his foot in his mouth.

Yes because a site called bluray.com would provide factual, unbiased information about Bluray....:roll: You might as well have used Sony.com...

i had no idea that console sales go up when it has a price drop.

I guess the sources are all "on-the take" huh?

There, that's better. I had faith you could do it. BTW, the BD version of Dark Knight is the definitive version of the movie. Did you watch the extras where the film crew explained about what it was like filming the opening sequence of the movie in IMAX?

Blu-ray is not the next DVD? 20% of Dark Knight's sales are blu-ray, and its only been about a year since the format officially released...dgsag

What a tool.

Although the 360 will most likely double Ps3 this CHRISTMAS season, the rest of what he says is pure rabble.

Sony's biggest problem was that they were too generous to the consumer's this gen. They should release a $200 console,,, with a 5gb HDD, no wifi, very unreliable hardware (i.e., it will break), and then remove free online play and charge you..... This is basically the X360 Arcade experience.signore

And you know what's funny? That arcade will still outsell your precious PS3 :D

I guess cows are taking it hard that the PS brand isn't king anymore. It's pretty pathetic to see Sony struggle to beat MS.

For cows, it's just the same old song, PS3 outsells the 360 by 3k in a month and then its'teh year of teh PS3' and 'PS3 will catch up by the end of the year' #60 starts pounding PS3 again and it's 'bu bu bu teh pricedrop' or 'bu bu bu they had a year headstart' or 'bu bu bu I don't play sales.' Evendentally you don't play PS3 either.

BTW, I'm enjoying my BD copy of Dark Knight on my stand alone BD player I purchased at Walmart for $135 on Black Friday. Stop blaming M$ and Walmart for Sony's failed business model. You can find an 8th grader that would tell you it would be smarter to concentrate your success DURING the Holiday shopping season. As opposed to June/ Then again Sony Marketing Genius is an oxymoron....

I have a feeling this forum is going to be like a ghost town tommorow since the numbers come outrybe1025

I agree, but it will do better than mini-disc. But BluRay probably won't enjoy the same proliferation as DVD. Why? Because while DVD didn't have to share the market with anyone (VHS was clearly inferior). BR has to live with existing DVD, and digital distribution is coming in fast...you can already stream movies from Netflix at a decent quality, what will another couple of years bring? Basically, it has less time to really take a big hold on the market, or else it might slip through its fingers...

Well at over half the price thats obvious.

And I agree with that guy, its doing the same thing as the 360 but at a higher price, and even if the ps3 has a slightly better lineup this year (AAA's and AAAA's) and even if it has Killzone 2 and a ton of brilliant games coming out only possible on the ps3, all people see is the price.

Most gamers (casual) dont know much about gaming and just look at the price, its the same with TV's and everything.

Greenberg says that the key to success in a three console market is to differentiate your console, something he believes Microsoft has managed to do while Sony hasn't.

Yes with price but not quality and value. I love corporate sh.. talk. Congrats to lemmings and MS for flooding the retail channels with low budget hardware.

LOL you people are soo funny! I had my PS3 since Dec. 2007 and i don'T care if stand alone BR are now 150$. That's like saying i bought a 3000$ HDTV 2 years ago and i got double crossed cause now it's 1000$.

Do the math

150$- 200$ = BR player stand alone player

400$ = gaming console + BR/DVD/CD player + Wifi capabilities + Internet capabilities + plus multi-media capabilities + online gaming + more!

PS3 is well worth it'S price!

sony still had a solid year imo.

marginally taking the year.

and 2009, not at all does it look bad for the ps3.

One must wonder why Microsoft is so obsessed about making statements about Sony every single day. What, are they really that scared?! It's just starting to get pathetic and makes MS look like a bunch of kids.metalgear-solid

Everyone wants to judge the systems as if Blu Ray doesn't exist, or hardware failure doesn't matter. Lemmings want you to beieve this is a Coke vs Pepsi arguement. Its not. Even if it was .50c Coke will outsell 1.50 Pepsi any day. The value difference is that Pepsi doesn't have a hole in the bottom of the can and has rum in it for added enjoyment.

Now I am thirsty.

I agree..what he said

[QUOTE="S3CR3T_SPY2"][QUOTE="sonny2dap"] Umm his point is that the playstation offers the same experience for double the money, therefore the xbox is value for money, the playstation fails to justify why someone should spend double the money for the same experienceDe_Bears
