PS3 sales might be almost 360 par, but it won't stay that way forever.

PS3 will be last. o_O PS3 and 360 are tied in sales.... but too bad that the 360 has been out an ENTIRE year loner. PS3 is only selling because it is new. A year from now PS3 will be slow, besides MGS4, there is nothing it has, because in all likelihood, FF13 will be multiplatform. There have even been months where 360 has sold more than PS3... Well anyway, here's my source on FF13.

PS3 sales will pick up once the price drops. You can count on that. The 360 will end up last this generation. Sad but true.DisPimpin

:roll: And what? The 360 will stay $400 forever? :|

The 360 isn't the Xbox, it'll always have more games than the PS3 (cheaper to develop for + 1 year head start + poor/declining PS3 sales) its more in the PS2 position of this gen while the PS3 is in the Xbox position.

the 360 had lots of AAA's this time last year. PS3 has one (multiplat) and its still selling better than the 360 this time last year. stop lying to yourselfamcallister902

PS3 may be selling more in the first 6 months of release...but European sales already have slowed down 82% sine launch, Wii is doubling the sales of PS3 in Japan and a 50% decrease in sales from February to March in the US...yeah the PS3 is selling so well. 

How blind can you be? What makes you think that 360 sales will just magically remain steady, but PS3 sales will just suddenly drop off? If anything, the PS3 will be selling even more after the 360 sales start to slump just because of the fact that the PS3 is newer, and will not even have reached it's peak yet, lol.

MGS4 is all that the PS3 has? LMAO....that is nothing but your BIASED, and also very NARROW opinion. Let's see, besides all of the killer multi-plats that the PS3 will be getting as well, their will be exclusives like, Uncharted, Lair, Heavenly Sword, Killzone 2, White Knight Story, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Wardevil, GOW 3, Resistance 2, ect., ect. I think those games just might end up being a few reasons why quite a few gamers may want a PS3. There will be plenty more as well.;) 

Open your eyes, and open your mind. As much as some of you may blindly, and foolheartedly want the PS3 to fail....too bad. As it simply is not going to happen. After all, this is the PLAYSTATION we are talking about here. You might do well to remember that as well, before spouting off crystal ball, doom and gloom predictions that are so far off base, it is not even funny. 

The 1st problem with the "The PS3 is selling faster than the x360 at this point" argument is that the x360 is out-selling the PS3 NOW with no signs of that changing. Any possible ground the PS3 is supposedly gaining on the x360 is being offset by the sales of the x360 NOW.

But the PSP has superior hardware, and Sony's backing it's proprietary format!  How can it fail? :lol:

And btw they^ are trying to knit-pick your counting because they can't argue with any other aspect of your argument.

Actually, no arguement needed, as the PS3 is not the PSP, therefore, trying to predict the outcome of the PS3's success based on what happened with the PSP amounts to nothing but a pessimistic outlook, and grasping at straws at best.:P

Agreed.

They can't even respond to the actual "meat" of the argument. The PS3 is looking like the PSP.

PSP failed = PS3 going to fail too??? so you are saying that just because the GC failed then Wii is going to fail too .... well so far that hasn't been true ... so there's got to be something wrong with your reasoning. predictions are funny things to do. 

I heard the PS3 flopped and Nintendo was going to discontinue it. Can anyone confirm this!?Idonomeus

I did respond, and stated simply that you cannot predict what the PS3 may or may not do by using the PSP HANDHELD as a foretelling of the PS3's eventual doom, lol. THAT is nothing but nit-picking, and trying to grasp for any negative straw you can.

In response to another statement above....I know that the PS3 is not "immune", but what makes you think that Microsoft is?  There are still so many faulty 360's it is beyond the point of being ridiculous. They release this "Elite" version only a little over a year after the initial launch, thereby SCREWING any early adopters (I am one) who may have wanted the extra features in the Elite. "Oh, but they are just offering us options", you say? Oh sure, on top of the 400.00 you shelled out for a (USED TO BE) Premium, you can pay a whopping 180.00 for a 120 GB HDD which will bring your total 360 investment to 580.00 All STILL without WIFI and HDDVD support, lol. But WAIT!!!! You can just buy the HDDVD add on for 200.00 more dollars, bringing your 360 investment up to 780.00...still without WIFI, lol.

What a deal...at least the PS3 comes with all of this, and if you want up grade your HDD, you can do so by buying ANY SATA laptop drive by ANY brand, and it will not void your warranty. You can bu a 500GB HDD for the price that Microsoft is charging for their 120GB HDD. But they are just offering you more "options"? OK, lol.:lol:

See now, we can argue both ways here, my friends.;)

No other games??? What about White Knight Story, New Team Ico game, Uncharted Drakes Fortune, Ratchet and Clank Tool of Destruction, LittleBigPlanet, Heavenly Sword, Lair, Warhawk, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, War Devil, Tekken 6, Gran Turismo and etc, and right now Final Fantasy 13 and Versus is still exclusive to only PS3 until Sqaure say otherewise..I know porting games to the 360 just lead to massive downgrade of the games so why you want to play somethin that isnt goin to be great..i bet you in E3 this year sony will announce more games for the PS3..

The point with the PSP is that it lacks games and so does the PS3. You can't sell game systems without games and so far this year there aren't many games that aren't multi-platform or just plain ports of games that have been out for the 360 for months on the PS3.. The 360 has 2 gauranteed system sellers this year GTA and Halo and PS3 shares their only system seller with the 360. Then you have Blue Dragon, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Forza 2, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, too human, Lost odyssey , Alan Wake, Ace Combat ALL THIS YEAR. No waitstation here.Tokaithegreat

First off....I love how you point out the PS3's only system seller this year is being shared with the 360....then you go on to name: BioShock, Kane & Lynch, Alan Wake...all of which will be on the PC as well. On A Side note of this, Alan Wake is a 2008 title.

Secondly, What makes you think Ace Combat, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon and Too Human will even SELL well in the United States? Id say Ninja Gaiden: Sigma has a better chance of selling than those titles.

Third, GTA4 is not the only system seller this year. You seem to forget Sony fans are all about Devil May Cry. Granted its multiplatform, its still a Sony series at heart and its fanbase. I can't see this game not pushing PS3's. Another game to push PS3's which is still a 2007 title in my book until proven otherwise: Metal Gear Solid 4. Nothing needs to be said of this title. Oh and lets not forget Tekken 6.

and since you're going to list all that hoopla....then in that case: Ninja Gaiden: Sigma, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet & Clank, Devil May Cry 4, Metal Gear Solid 4, Tekken 6, Warhawk, Uncharted, Grand Theft Auto IV, WipEout PS3, Killzone 2, Lair.....ALL THIS YEAR. With big guns like Final Fantasy XIII, Gran Turismo 5, LittleBigPlanet, White Knight Story and many others soon to be announced for 2008. On top of that, Major improvements to the PlayStation Network such as PlayStation Home. The Sony PlayStation 3 is only just beginning to pick up steam. People seem to be forgetting other Sony Exclusive Games that havnt even been announced yet: SOCOM, Twisted Metal, God of War, Jak & Daxter among many others. Way to jump the gun. :roll:

if sony drops the ps3 down to $199, they might have a chance of winning this gen. oh wait.... they still have to get some games on the thing.chrisdojo

No, but PS3s price is the only real thing that will be holding it back, a price drop for PS3 will effect it's sales more than Xbox 360 would a price drop becuase of PS2s installed base.

We'll see. The price of the XBox 360 will drop before the end of the year. Don't know if Sony can do this with the PS3 without losing millions more. With many of the PS3 exclusives coming to the XBox 360 and Wii, casual consumers will most likely op for the lowest system price. Why do you think the Wii is selling like crazy right now. In the Wii's case it's not just the price, but the innovation that people like. Right now PS3 games are trickling onto retail shelves. There are almost twice the amount of titles coming out on the XBox 360 this year then on the PS3. For MAY 07 alone, the XBox 360 has about 20 titles and the PS3 has about 7. The NPD numbers will be out soon. We'll see how well the PS3 sold in March.

Well that was last gen for one. Second, the XBox launched after the PS2 last generation and the PS2 started with a huge lead. Also the PS2 dropped their price before the XBox and sales for the PS2 soared. This time, everything is reversed. So the XBox 360 could still keep it's lead throughout 2007 and 2008.

the 360 had lots of AAA's this time last year. PS3 has one (multiplat) and its still selling better than the 360 this time last year. stop lying to yourselfamcallister902

You mean when the XBox 360 had shortages for the 1st 5 months of its launch? Stop lying to yourself. You can't sell what's not on retail shelves. That's the only reason the PS3 outsold the XBox 360 during this time last year. The ONLY  reason. The XBox 360 sold almost 2x's as many system in Feb then the PS3 in the US.
