When it all comes down to it, all the PS3 has to do is keep pace whith the 360. Almost all of the good games that are coming out are multi-platform right?

Well, umm, yes.

As long as MOST of the good games that come out for the 360, still comes out for PS3, it could be a soon-to-be closed door on the future of the 360, as far as future console sales are concerned.

Sony is holding on to- over 100 million+ PS2 users. (xbox 360 sales= 10 million, only 6 million ahead of PS3) All along, Cultivating, massaging, and prepping them for you know what. The PS3.

What's going to happen in late 08' and beyond when the 150 million+ PS2 users look to upgrade from their aging ps2?

It's going to be like millions of salmon all swimming back to their fertile breeding grounds, or some other huge comparable migration of sorts.

As long as the 360 doesn't have a whole boat load of great exclusives, meaning that if nearly every good game that is out on the 360 is also on the ps3.... well, you know.

And not only that, the price will have dropped by then... maybe around $400.00, or below.

Then there's product loyalty... well that speaks for its self.

Sony's not dead yet. Not yet.

They say- slow and steady wins the race. I don't know, I guess we will all have to wait and see huh?

Hey Cows, here's to "waiting.":P

But, hey, I could be wrong. Untill then, I guess I'll be playing my PS2 and my Xbox 360.

P.S.

On a side note, I have to say- Nintendo is rockin' and rollin' right now!.

360 will have an even larger variety of games next year than this year, heck there isnt even an exclusive shooter coming to 360 next year, theres more action adventure games and rpgs coming to the 360 next year, it will still out sell the ps3 next year guaranteed.

All I'm saying is- you can't overlook the PS2 users. There's a good possibility that they will grow up to be PS3 users, and there's a LOT of them!

Indeed. I could't agree any more. There are a heck of a lot of PS2 owners out there just waiting to buy a next gen system, when the games finally do come out (and they will) there will be a much greater demand for the PS3. Judging by the sales so far on the 360, they'll be lucky to get 30 million before the gen is up. I am not saying that the 360 will fail, that couldn't be any more wrong, i like the 360 and i like seeing it sell well, but it doesn't seem to be a growing demand for the system that the PS3 has. The Wii......thats a whole nother story. I don't know if either MS or Sony can stop that thing. Over all i think that the best thing to do is just wait and see how this all turns out. ;)

I was a PS2 user and I "grew up" to be a 360 user. PS3? Maybe some time mid/late 2008 it'll be worth it to me, assuming it has a few price cuts.

The problem with that argument is that not all 100+ million PS2 owners will be migrating to the PS3. Also, there's no proof that they're not already migrating to next gen. It's quite possible that they have already started the move and have chosen the Wii since it's the Wii that is selling out and is the fastest selling console ever (even over the PS2).

who cares. When PS3 finally does get good I like most other people will get one. Most people already know this.

Looks like they already migrated to X360 cause same games like Madden sold more on X360 then on PS2

So one game selling about 1 million in one week = 100+ million already migrated to the 360?

Same here, and I don't see myself getting a PS3 for a very long time.

Brand loyalty is a myth. IF PS1 can beat N64 and Gameday could outsell Madden then anything is possible.
