Playstation brand loyalty is pretty powerful!!!!! Kind of scary if you ask me!!

Despite the delayed multiplats, lost exclusives, and expensive retail price casuals will still buy the ps3 based on brand loyalty alone!  There is no stopping them, I know it, you know it!  It's the Playstation Skills Challenge people, not xbox not Nintendo but Playstation.

All jokes aside I am not a fanboy, nor am I saying the ps3 will win this generation on console sales I'm merely stating the facts.  Let's not forget the ps3 console sales at this point in it's lifespan is killing the amount of consoles the ps2(7th gen champ w/ 100 mill. consoles sold) sold at this point of it's lifespan.  That is why I am a potential future ps3 owner at this point.  Times can change, but saying the ps3 is already dead is just blasphemy!

The brand loyalty was so powerful, Sony dominated the handheld market with it.

Sony fans don't play with handhelds, that's mostly for kids

judging from the 10 million console lead the 360 has over the ps3, it looks like playstation brand loyalty really only applies to the resident fanboys....

the casuals buy with their wallets not with their loyalty... ;)

I admit I love to bash the current "King of Consoles"(Playstation) too, but we have to think logically here people!

While I agree that the PS3 will still win, it will lose many costumers to the X360 this gen.  It won't sell 100 mil, more like 50-60 mil.   X360 will sell 30-40 mil, Wii 20-30 mil.ironwarrior2

I think it will loose many more customers to the Wii. Just look at how well it's selling Japan, it's riding the DS's success there. In the US it is MS taking it's sales for sure though. The Wii has sold about 5 million already so I doubt it will only reach 20-30 over the next 4-5 years. I had been trying to buy one for weeks and only just got it today because it's still sold out everywhere.

Come on now we you know what I'm talking about, hell the wii could sell only 16 million consoles this gen, 360 20 million, and ps3 30 million, or vice versa.  Also since when does a consoles launch determine how many console sales it will have throughout it's 5-8 year lifespan?

I know, I don't understand it.

Real gamers choose the system with the games that are fun, they don't worry about which company gets their money.

IMO gamers should just get the 360 and or wii right now and play the great games that are available while they wait for sony to get a good lineup of games on their ps3.

Nintendo brand name was powerful, before the psx came along.hyruledweller

Brand loyalty is a cow illusion. Where was the brand loyalty with the PSP? Almost every PS2 owner I know - bought the PS2 for Madden, and Madden alone. They are called casuals - and casuals are not loyal to any particular brand. They're flaky - thus, casual.HeedleGlavin

By your logic the same could be said about Nintendo.  Tell me where was the brand loyalty with the N64 and GC?
