Hey I thought you said the Wii was a novelty and people would stop selling as soon as people got tired of the Gimmick controller? Oops lol. Too bad you're not as reliable as your sales info haha. (Back to GeOW online)

I said the Wii would stop selling in 2008..thiers still time

Well I can only wish you luck for one. So what will it be? Wii not selling well into 08 or The Raiders have a good season?

whats with you bashing the Raiders man...their trying to rebuild not a Superbowl team...oh well i lost interest in this thread

A good season for the Raiders means having a positive season. They aren't expected to win the Super Bowl lets be serious. I don't hate the Raiders I loved them when my favorite player Jerry Rice was on them after the Niners let him go. How could anyone hate such a team? Well besides Al Davis.

As the hardcore Sony fans and loyalists dry up so are the PS3 sales. Casuals do not buy $600 consoles this is explained by the sales of much cheaper PS2 and Wii units.

I predicted that sales for the PS3 would nosedive in February, and I was right. All the fanboys disagreed, but the Sony fanboy market was completely saturated by the end of January. Who is the fanboy market? The ones who would buy a PS3 at any price. The only reason the PS3 was over 200,000 in January was because there was still a consumer element out there who were looking for PS3s that could not find them in November & December.

That market has been saturated. Those who were looking for a PS3 in November & December have long since purchased their consoles. Now Sony needs to count on gamers who are far more price sensitive (aka not big fanboys) to purchase the console, and the results are in: the PS3 is just too expensive.

Microsoft & Nintendo smell blood in the water. Even if Sony lowers the price, Microsoft & Nintendo can match it with their own price cuts if they want to. The PS3 will always be the more expensive console.

not to shocked about those numbers, well maybe the gba beating the ps3. But seriously, there aren't any games on the ps3, and not that many people will commit to blu-ray, plus the people that want blu-ray will just wait a little while longer and buy a cheaper stand alone player, when that happens, it will be game over for the ps3.

I think so. It comes down to total sales, and whenever sales for the PlayStation are cited, it includes sales made after the PS2 launched.

I see a direct correlation with DS vs PSP and Wii vs Ps3. Sorry but PS3's price is too much. Its a better machine but the price is driving its sales away and on to 360/wii.

I'll admit, I haven't followed GBA sales before, but one could assume it's doing well recently because of the release of FF VI... Just a thought.

I'll also go out on a limb here and say that maybe, just maybe the PS3 is still not selling well due to it's lack of games.  Hopefully for Sony's sake, they can start delivering (this month) more games as I'd hate to see this being a one pony race.(monopoly)

I'm not shocked at all that the PS2 is still selling well.

The thing is, even if they lower it it will prompt Microsoft & Nintendo to lower the price of their consoles as well. Because the Wii & 360 have far greater market penetration, it affords them the flexibility to easily lower the price - especially Nintendo because production costs on the Wii are already so low. Microsoft has seen production costs come down on the 360 a lot because they have been in production for over a year now and already have shipped 10 million consoles, further dropping production costs down.

Sony, if they lower the price, will do it out of desperation but they cannot stop Microsoft & Nintendo from following suit.

Not games price. DS first came out with only 1 note worthy title. But it was cheaper than PSP and it had a touch screen. But anyway its def. Price.

There's the possibility that the release of Halo 3 will cause the 360 to outsell the Wii for maybe one or two months. Perhaps three.

True, but there are a lot of Sony fans who will buy a PS3 even if slightly more expensive then 360 because of brand loyalty. There are 100 million Sony fans apparently. Most of them are scared of the price. Anectdotal evidence, but all my friends are Sony fanboys (except two halo fans). Before the PS3 came out, I was discussing getting an XBOX 360 because the PS3 had been delayed so damn long they're like screw that I'm waiting for the PS3. I told them MSRP of $600 they're like damn maybe not. None of them have bought eiither console. They just won't buy a 360. But if Sony drops their price they will consider the PS3. Again, anectdotal evidence but the brand loyalty is strong.

So the PS3 sold so terribly that the PS2 outsold it. Looks like Sony better step it up or their

 powerful black box is going to become the next Sega Saturn. That would be awful.

All Sony needs to do is price the PS3 at the PS2 launch price $299 and they win.

That's about $200 less than Sony would like you to sell their system for; however Blu Ray is bound to win, I own the HD-DVD add on, and without movies that medium, is already dead. The price will drop astronomically on the components for Blu-Ray. The cell is rapidly moving to a 65nm and then 40nm chip, which will further reduce the price.
Sony shot their load too early with the PS3.

They should have launched in late 2008 at a much more competitive price, with all the bells and whistles ready to go.

PS2 is still a huge force, and with the right developer support, PS2 could easily continue to beat the 360 and the PS3 for the next 10 years. Its on even keel with the Wii, and cheaper.

65nm, removal of the PS2 chip, I think sony is priming themselves for a $100 price drop. $150 if they knew what was good for them.
