PS3 is simply going to win:)

As you can see at the bottom of this article(http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16833561/)   ps2 has sold over 110Million units.

From them only 32M were sold in the US.

Thats alot less than the 1/3 of total sales!

So the US didnt make PS2 a winner and they probably wont make the PS3 either.

But the PlayStation brand name dominates all other regions.From the millions of PS2 users in Europe and Japan only a few seem to have bought the Xbox 360 since it has sold a little more than 3M outside the US!

Its obvious that the HUGE number of PS2 users hasnt bought a new console yet.When the time comes they'll buy the successor to what offered them 10.000+ titles,most likely.

Its true that for the late80's and 90's generation of gamers the word PlayStation is a synonym of gaming.Now that the console has reached all other regions this alone will be a reason to buy it,like it or not.Most of the people who'll buy the PS3 dont know its library or that the 360 has(for now) a better one.Most of them wont care for the price.I still remeber how most of us here in Greece would buy a PS2 for $1000+ and how we would say that Xbox is piece of crap without even playing with it!(10 years old!)

The US loves the 360 but thats just not enough...The PS3 will ruin it everywhere else.

So all this negativity which comes mostly from the US isnt so important at all.In fact Sony seems to has launched the PS3 earlier in the US(than Europe)just to prevend a clear 360 win in US.They are too confident for all other regions and they are right.

One example is that many kids i know say they bought the PS3 on Friday or theyll buy it in the future,for games like DMC4!

They dont know its no longer exclusive!!!And they ll never learn it:P

PS3 is the winner guys its hardcore but it also has the casuals with it!

Ps3 owns not.

If what you suggested was true, PS3 would have sold 10 million by now, not happening really, has by FAR worst graphics, check the WASHED OUT Oblivion, with the toned down colors/shadows/lighting/HDR/textures, pure garbage comparing to 360 version

check all other multiplatforms looking best on 360 too

check no games for PS3

check 360 lead, gained games from PS3 like DMC4 and FF13 coming too as everything points out

check Mass Effect, Halo 3, Fable 2, Lost Odyssey still to come

well, PS3 does not stand a chance if you ask me, after the European fiasco

You know that logic doesnt hold water.

Previous userbase = current userbase. Nintendo is proof of this

Secondly, casuals are NOT loyal, most casuals who had the ps2 now have the 360. The 360 ATM has MUCH better games and a lower price. Some casuals read magazines which would let them be aware of games going multiplat. Loads of people already know GTA has gone multiplat.

At the moment, the ps3 is going through the same phase as the GC. It was released nearly last and doesnt offer much more than what the competition already offers. The only people buying it at the moment are hardcore sony fans and people who buy any console that is new. Just like with the GC.

Things might change but ATM logic says otherwise

[QUOTE="Iyethar"]Japan belongs to Nintendo. Didn't you get the memo?palaric8

Sony is not doing "okay" in Japan.  Nintendo is owning everything over there.  45 of the top 50 selling software titles are on Nintendo platforms, and Nintendo has an approximately 85% current market share.

It would not be too inaccurate to say that Nintendo has taken a monopoly position in the Japanese gaming market. 

Thats alot less than the 1/3 of total sales!

You can't use last gen sales as an accurate prediction. Gamecube sold horribly last gen but Wii is selling like hot cakes.

SOrry to inform you, but the washed out Oblivion is today, we can't ignore how bad it looks comparing to 360, plus Mass Effect UNLIKE FF13 is 2007,  and May too, same goes for all 360 RPG's, and main franshises, they come in 2007, or first thing in 2008, best PS3 games in late 2008 or 2009

So, today AND tomorrow AND long term until late 2008 belongs to 360, PS3 only has VERY LONG term that could be good

Haha wonderfully executed.

Anyways, you say PS3 is winner, I say you are weiner.

Casuals are NOT going to pay $600 for a system, and that's the end of it.liljon546

[QUOTE="Iyethar"]Japan belongs to Nintendo.  Didn't you get the memo?palaric8

People act as if PS2 sold 110 million the first two years or something. The ONLY reason PS2 sold as much as it did is because of price drops which allowed casual gamers to get into the market. $600 for a console, blu-ray or no blu-ray, is just way too much for a casual gamer to consider purchasing. I would argue that even the 360 has not broken into the casual market yet. When there is a significant price drop, causual gamers, which everyone knows is the majority of gamers, will enter into the foray.

 The reason that the Wii is selling like hotcakes is because its opening price is low enough to attract some casual gamers. Sony shot themselves in the foot right off the bat, and unless they get a seriously killer app, the only thing that will bump up sales is a price drop. So, no, the PS3 is not simply going to win. Most people, aside from a few fanboys, have zero brand loyalty. They are just looking for a reasonably priced system with fun games to play. They are not looking for a super computer that plays games. They are looking for a gaming machine that helps them forget what a crappy job they have. Rambling over.

Hhmmm.....so if what you're writing is true, then the successor the the SNES, the N64, should have won against Playstation because its two predicessors won. And that didn't happen.
