PS3 will be the WORST selling console this 2007 Holiday Season.
And you can quote me on that.

A LOT of COWs were just waiting for the MGS4 and GTA to be released this season. Both got pushed to 2008.

Mass Effect in November AND Assassin's Creed will sway a LOT of people towards the 360 plus the Halo 3 and Bioshock also help.

The Wii will continue to sell. I have yet to see a Wii in a Retail Store, and that is AMAZING!!!

What does the PS3 have, besides a bunch of flops?

Quote me if you want, all 3 will be successful during the holiday season. Some will be more successful than others, but, the PS3 itself will have a successful holiday season as well.

I'm certain that this is a given. With the delay of Grand Theft Auto IV, last place for the holiday season was assured for the PS3.

Its funny you mention Creed, because its multiplat. Anyways, I do agree that the 360 will outsell the PS3 this holiday season, it has Halo (which is more than enough), Mass Effect, and Bioshock. I do think the PS3 will do the best next year though. Quote me on that

Halo couldn't sell a hamburger to a starving man! It won't push many 360's! And the PS3 will sell better than he admitts, and if and when the 499 price comes...IT WILL OUTSELL THE 360 CASE CLOSED!

Heh, way to state the obvious. That will make 2 of 5 (the average console's life span). 2 of 6 or so if it's a long lasting console. As for its "future proofing" and it supposedly lasting 11 years, get real.. 11 years from now cell phones will be close to the PS3 for graphics. PS4 will be out within 6 years.

There's a pretty damned good chance it will outsell 360.... especially if $499 or lower is the standard price by then.

Thing is, what can be called 'sucessful'? I remember in June the last FY sales were made public and Sony missed their shipment targets by almost a million ... they said it was 'sucessful' as it ment they lost less money ...

it's like watching The Wizard of Oz when Dorothy was wearing red shoes and saying "there's no place like Home" excpet the fact that whoever posted the OP probably isn't a doable white chick and the closest thing to fairy magic happening in his life was Chocolate Rain on Youtube.

I like the skewed math. I say "The PS3 will be out within 6 years" and you then cut two to two and a half years off of that and make it sound like I'm saying the next XBOX will be out then. The 720 (or whatever it is) will probably be out withinone year before the next PS - so, five years, not 3.5 or 4. This is keeping with decades of console release schedules. The next Nintendo console, who knows? They may well try and change the rules like they have with hardware quality.

Ok is that why the PS3 out sold the 360 in regions without a price drop last month. And comparing numbers from Japan in the same month of the PS3 and 360 it shows the 360 dropped in sales by about 140,000 units sold from the year before. Also by the NASDAQ numbers it shows the PS3 at over 500,000 now where the 360 with over a year head start is still just over 1,200,000. If this stays any where close to this the PS3 could close the gap in sales quite a bit around the holiday season.

Halo 3, Mass Effect, Bio-shock, and all the superior multi-plats on the lower priced console? PS3 is gonna tank quite badly in sales, no doubt.

The only problem is that the PS3 hasn't done as well "out of the gate" as the PS2 did, plus the Wii is taking a clear lead. That could seriously affect the PS3's life-span. The PS2 endured because of its success, and that success was outright.

I read an article in the New York Times and it was about how tube HDTV's were better than the newer lighter ones because of the less ghosting effects. Yeah it was for school. But with all the High deffinition in that article which console popped up? PS3 hmm, wha why?! 360 selling better than the PS3, yet alot of people read the NY Times and PS3 is in the article about HDTV's. A family is going to go out and remember a PS3 was in that article and buy one with their HDTV for the holiday.

or mommy didnt buy me a ps3 so i hate sony now

or Sony has squat until 2008.

if sony has sqaut till 2008, thats means ms wont have anything after 07.

don't know yet...could be. both platforms will have GTA4 and RE5, so that's good. we'll see. i thought the argument was about sony having no AAA holiday releases (granted, heavenly sword has yet to be reviewed).

The PS3 will probably get a bump in sales for the holiday, but that's because junior can't shut the crap up, and mommy and daddy will be pulling hair and end up getting it for him. Then he'll just whine because there's nothing to play. So they'll be forced to buy him a game that he is too young to play.

Sony wins twice. Sadly.
