NDP sales figures show PS3 in serious trouble

[QUOTE="squallff8_fan"]

[QUOTE="CaptainCrazy"]It's becoming quite clear that the PS3 is not going to be the runaway hit the PS2 was. Face it guys, no company has ever won the console wars 3 times in a row, if Nintendo couldn't do it, Sony couldn't either. This time it's going to be Xbox 360's time to shine. If Sony hopes of taking back the number one position next time they had better start designing the next system NOW and release it at the saem time as Xbox 360 2 or whatever they call it. MS's competition is too strong for Sony to be coming 1 year late into the game.dustin-diamond

And which system u think will last 10 years out of the 3? Thats all I gotta say. Just because of these early numbers, doesnt mean nuttin. Look for the ps3 to take off after its been in the market for a year. Sony has 150 titles there studios are working on alone, and this is not even including all the other games from other developers like capcom, koei, and others. Give it time man, and u will see. I own both an xbox 360 and a ps3 and call me crazy for buying a ps3, but one thing I do know is sony will always deliver with games. U know how halo fans are about that one game, its the same way I am with alot of games that are sony exclusive games, this is why I bought the system, because as soon as the sony hitters come out, u gonna see people start buying ps3's. :)

Lets wait to see the results when the ps3 is out in ever region. And for a system that is 600 dollars I would have to say that sony is doing pretty well just being in the US and Japan. And also remember when FF13 hits japan I can guarantee a couple million ps3's alone will sell in japan only. That is a fact. Till den game on. :)

Here is an idea...let us talk about this in about a year.  It is ridiculous claiming the end to a system this early.  Wait to see what happens when the PS3 has a list of big games behind it.  Also, there may be a significant price drop this Christmas.  Blu-ray players are supposed to be priced at around $600 this summer and there are talks that the price may be as low as $300 by the year's end.  If this is true, they could slash the price significantly.

If this does plan out, Sony will take this gen in a walk.  Imagine PS3 game library (MGS, FF, DMC, GOW, etc.), blu-ray player, Home, and a price tag at $399--that sounds unstoppable to me.  Of course that is if it plays out. 

Bottom line, it is WAY to early to say anything.  Let us wait and see where the cards fall over the course of this year.  By then we will have a much better idea. 

[QUOTE="Skippyj9"]Incase you haven't noticed, there's Resistance and Motorstorm right now... that's it.

By the holiday season, Grand Theft Auto IV, Lair, Heavenly Sword, Assassin's Creed, Oblivion, LittleBigPlanet, Tekken 6, and Singstar will be out, rumble will be put back in the controllers, Home will have launched, and Blu-Ray will more than likely be the only HD format on shelves. And also, PS3 hasn't even launched in Australia, Europe, and the Middle East yet.

Yes, these are terrible sales, but really, can you blame consumers? There's nothing out right now, but things will surely change by the end of the year.

I was showing an example of what the ps3 can do in an area like Japan only, but if u want me to also bring up other big name titles I can do that. These are games that are already proven and can be big sellers for the ps3.

MGS4

Devil May Cry 4

Ninja Gaiden Sigma

God Of War 3

Tekken 6

Gran Truismo 5

Socom 4

Ratchet & Clank

Shadow Of The Colossus 2

Final Fantasy 13

Final Fantasy 13 Vs

Kingdom Hearts 3

Okami 2

These are just known titles that are sellers on the sony brand, and if I add in all the other titles that are new to the franchise, which alot of people are awaiting.

Heavenly Sword

Lair

Afrika

Eight Days

Naughty Dog Game

and all the 3rd party games like GTA4 and MAdden, and the rest. If it wasnt for the ps2, thats the reason why the GTA series was so big. So anyways I am going to go play some RFOM online so take it easy and game on. :)

Microsoft doesn't market well to casuals. The PS3 is wayyy to expensive for most casuals. This leaves Nintendo to scoop up the market.

360 is still outselling ps3 without japan.

hopefully 360 will start getting more of PS3's exclusives2scoopsofempty

VF5, merc2, assassin's creed, gta4......... 

They still have the Europe release to save themselves.  If it can become a hit there, then they might be able to keep up with the 360 and the Wii.RahnAetas

I can't say I am surprised. $600 = too much money.Jason0110

[QUOTE="Jason0110"]I can't say I am surprised. $600 = too much money.asmallchild

I like those games, but for casuals, they are not going to shell out $600 plus tax plus HDMI cable plus HDTV (if you don't have one), plus the games. PS3 price is too much for any casuals to justify.Zaistev_basic

U can also look at this way.

PS3 with 60 gb HD. Do the math PS3 alone would be $400 including a built in Bluray Player which alone in the market u can prolly get for $599 now. Also a Built In wifi which if u are a xbox 360 user u spend $99 for that which already comes with the ps3 and one wireless controller with a usb charger cord, and of course the AC wires and Power cable. Buy a HDMI wire for $40 and one Game for $60. And add $200 more dollars for the 40 extra gb HD since the 20 gb version of the xbox 360 cost $100 more. This all adds up to $1,400 for the ps3 but instead sony was nice enough to make it affordable and they are losing like $300 with every ps3 they sell for only $599 including a game which brings it all to the cost of $660 and online is free to play games. U can also go online and surf the web and watch HD Movies on your Built in Blu Ray Player. That is one heck of a deal if u ask me.

Xbox 360 $299 for a 20 gb hd $99 no built in wifi but if u buy one seperate it will cost u $99, comes with a wireless controller which u cant recharge so u have to buy new batteries everytime it dies. $10 a week for batteries unless u buy the cord controller. Which is another $65 and comes with power cords AC wires oh and yes if u want to play online with gold it will cost u like $60 a year and a game $60 and this all cost u $685 and this is not even including an HDVD add on which would be another $199 extra.

Like I said I have both systems, but when I really look at it and even with MS having alot more games to choose from, I really feel like my investment in there machine wasnt worth it. I mean dont get me wrong they do have the better variety of games so far but thats only because they been out for a year longer then the wii and ps3. Like I said when I really look at the investment I put into my ps3, u actually are getting a better deal then most of u might think. The only ones that would say no is the ones that dont own a ps3. My facts are the truth and im done here, but I will enjoy both worlds, but yeah anyone who says ps3 isnt worth it, just doesnt have one or is just a fanboy. Anyways game on. :)
