PS3 WILL WIN.. 360 Running out of time!! (Good read)

Ok first of all, I want you guys to name me one console in the history of video games that has lasted for more than 5 years with good support and strong sales?! just ONE! you cant can you, thats because it doesnt exist. NES lasted 4 years, SNES lasted 5 years, Genesis lasted 4 years Gamecube and Xbox lasted 3 years.. You notice a name missing from that list?! thats right. PLAYSTATION! because BOTH consoles have lasted nearly a decade!! the PSone lasted 11 years and PS2 is 8 years old and still going strong!

MS themselves even admitted that they are concerned about the future becasue they even admit that console sales slow a bit after the 4th year EXCEPT playstation consoles! now i want you guys to fast forward to the year 1993 when the SNES first launched and you bought the SNES back in 93, now fast forward 10 years later to 2003, imagaine if in 2003 the SNES was still selling at retail for $130.00 and people still played the SNES on a regular basis like they do the PS2.. ( yea i know, it blows your mind just thinking about it doesnt it) I mean look at how strong the Playstation brand is! the PS2 is almost 10 years old and STILL sales good at $130.00 at this time in its life! i mean wow! thats amazing.. so whats left for MS?! are they just going to keep lowering the price of the 360 until its only $20.00 and already release the new xbox in the next year?! By the time the new xbox hits the PS3 will have a Very very strong line up and will most likely only be $200.00 and Home will be HUGE! the 360 is just getting so outdated i dont see how it will last past 5 years. no blu ray, no built in wifi, pay to play online etc etc.. the PS3 is so future proof that yes while its not selling well now IT WILL COME OUT ON TOP THIS GEN!

Sony has been here before.. with the PSone the argument was "oh it wont sell well in the USA it will sell well only in Japan, might as well stick with the SNES" look how that turned out.. then the PS2 came along and it was the argument of "Dont buy the PS2, its hard to develop for, not as good games as the dreamcast and dreamcast has better online capablities" (sound familiar?) i even remember that infamoust time magazine article back in 2000 titled "Dont buy that Playstation 2" saying how it was a developers nightmare and the dreamcast had better games.. the bottom line is SONY WILL win this gen,

Wii won this gen

Microsoft is second place

Sony is last out of the three. What makes it worse is they're going to keep on trying to get people to buy old hardware when Nintendo and Microsoft have moved onto the next gen.

*smashes head against brick wall.

Just enjoy the games, man.

Heres another fanboy trying to defend the PS3 after looking at earlier posts about the x-box 360 beating the PS3 in sales. In reponce he made this thread.

.............why dose every one has to hate each other??

I was fooled into thinking this might actually be a good read..xsubtownerx

I know, right? :? As soon as I saw he was a level 1 and posts 1, I knew where this thread was going.

I have to say; with all the kids PS3 rant he's definitely made a name for himself(or at least a fool). For people like him(or her) I definitely play the Final Fantasy fanfare for you when you get your profile level about 30. :D

If this is the same person he's on his third account. I just started really posting here on SW, and I don't understand creating a alternative profile. Most of the time it's the same kids who can't type, let alone use the additional features here a Gamespot. And they hop forum to forum. Over at IGN his material is the same; I'm assuming of course. I'll never understand it. It's the online version of the hardcore Star Trek fan at a convention.

I agree the PS3 will be on top eventually. Mark my words GOW3 alone will make the PS3 the must have system, not to mention KZ2 and other huge titles sony has up its sleve. PS2 was no fluke and PS3 will follow in its footsteps. Everyone will be eating there words come late 09.djsifer01

But "great" is relative and non-definitive. Sales, however, are definite. And sales absolutely make the greatest impact on the industry. The Wii won this generation hands down.

LOL. A rude awakening awaits PS3 owners.

What's worse is the fact that their next gen console, the PS4, is going to be a PS3 with a new video card and a shiny "PS4" logo stuck on the front. I bet you the thing wont even play PS3 games. :P

Wow.....you guys are tough. Most of the replies here are very close-minded. It seems like you didn't even read. He stated that at this point of the PS1 and PS2 generation there were people, just like those in the replies here, who were doubters. Sure I think his opinion may not come true, but he has the right to make an opinion, and based on the history of Sony, it isn't far fetched. I can see if those who replied have an alternative opinion, but to say the original post is wrong, and a waste of time is absurd. As I said, I don't agree or disagree in a factual sense, but he does run a good point based off facts, and for that I have to agree with his ideology. KeithTobberman

I find amusing when someone thinks their opinion is a good read.DealRogers

That has been always a possibility and I believe PS3 will come on top of 360. We saw how the 360 been selling where no competition existed back when it came out and now PS3 with competition with both wii & 360 and with a higher price than both but still it is doing amazingly good. If just PS3 gets a price cut next year with the coming of KZ2 things might change a lot. Currently we also know how strong Sony's lineup for next year and if GoW3, GT5 and KZ2 all hit in one year that will be Mass Destruction. abuabed

I hate when people use upcoming games to support a point about sales. How in the world does three games---only one of which is guaranteed massive sales---turn around the tide? Internet impressions of a game does not make it a mega seller automatically.
