It's true the PS3 can not even musta up enough sales to barley get over selling 1.5 million units. And they are dragging bad trying to reach 2 million.

And not even when they launch in Europe will this help much. Apparently pre order sales and interest is WAY DOWN then expected.

The ONLY WAY PS3 would ever catch 360 is if they keep it on the market for many years after MS has moved onto there next system. This is the SAD TRUTH. Sony's run as king is OVER.

It's true the PS3 can not even musta up enough sales to barley get over selling 1.5 million units. And they are dragging bad trying to reach 2 million.

Wow! What a narrow minded look at a console war that has just begun. I pray you never become an analyst or have anything to do with business for that matter.

It will be very difficult, and the PS3 could very well spend most of its lifespan catching up to the 360 or even the Wii.

The price just doesn't make it as much of an impulse purchase.  I still want one but I am fully prepared to see the PS3 be Sony's lowest selling console.

Wasn't the same said about the PS2? Obviously the industry is a too young to follow patterns of such uncertainty, but it can be concluded that a bad start doesn't lead to a bad end; likewise, a fantastic start doesn't lead to a fantastic end (in looking at the Dreamcast).

Well, the PS3 is supposed to last 10 years, don't forget about that:Pher0_54

The PS3 will only get a 1 year handicap to catch the 360 in sales to be the legit winner.

So if the MS launch a new system in say 4 years from now then Sony would only get a little over a year after that to really count on sales numbers. You can't say oh Sony won why they kept selling there system 5 more years after the 360 had moved on.

So Sony legitly only should get a year or so handicap for that first year lead MS had.

Also NO NO NO Wii will not catch MS this year.

Not with Halo 3 dropping close to the holidays. Expect atleat a 3-5 million system sales becuase of this. MS sold close to 3 million systems this past holidays after Gears came out. Expect a 3-5 million system sales holiday season becuase of Halo 3 no way Wii catches 360 becuase of this.

I can buy a HDTV for under £500 here in UK. Not the greatest, but a Samsung which isn't bad. And their getting cheaper every month. The point is if I have a HDTV I would want to make the most of it. With PS3 being the cheapest Blu-ray player on the market plus all the other advantages included with the system, it's a no brainer purchase for those who have that level of disposable income. This race has just started, dude and believe me Microsoft and you have a long way to go before making overly optimistic statements like "PS3 will never catch 360". With gamers like you supporting their cause, instead of "Jump in" maybe Microsoft should change their slogan to "Keep dreaming...".

Oh and also to back this up there has been surveys done and most Xbox Halo diehards have said they will wait to get a 360 until Halo 3 drops and what did Halo2 sell over 7 million copys or something like that. So yes we could expect really a 3-5 million system sales for MS this holiday season.

The Wii needs to outsell the 360 by about 400k units a month in America to catch up to it before the end of the year.  Since it's only outselling the 360 by roughly 200k units, it'll take about two years.

Thank you and wiht Halo 3 dropping that makes it more like 3 years to really make it a shot of doing it. And most think the craze would die out long before then on the Wii anyway.

lol you have to be kidding me... first of all 360 sales were never all that impressive, while the Wii is the fastest selling console ever... and second of all, the 360 in non existant in Japan, one of the worlds three major markets... the 360 doesnt even have a chance against the Wii.

Worldwide sure it'll be faster, but when it comes to the whole SW thing, people like to use only America to determine how well something is or isn't doing.

Hate to break this to you but Preorders in Europe are breaking records for the PS3. Play.com's head games buyer, Gian Luzio, commented that demand for the PS3 on its site has been phenomenal. He said, "The Sony PS3 has preordered six times more than the Xbox 360 in this period before launch, and 15 times more than the Wii. So it's the most preordered console yet." And the PS3s have reached 2 million a while ago as well. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/755/755530p1.html I know you wanna believe in your console but this is rediculous. Think about this logically for a second. THe PS3 is selling well in Japan, U.S. and if all goes well in Europe. It will easily catch up to the 360 that sells very well in the U.S., ok in Europe and poorly in Japan. 3 Regions worth of support will beat out 2 regions worth of support. And dont say Japan doesnt matter because they bought 20 million PS2s last gen.

While I think it may be very difficult for the ps3 to catch the wii in sales, the 360 has very poor support in the Japanese market and there may be some room for the ps3 to catch up there.

THe same place they were when the PS1 had 100 or so million and the PS2 came out. Enjoying their PS1 and slowly buying the PS2 and waiting for more games to come out. Thats the same thing PS2 owners are doing right now with the PS3. You make it sound like in three months all 20 million of MS's fanbase popped up and bought a 360.

If we see the ps3 start to keep pace with the 360 in NA monthly , the 360 will be caught eventually because of Japan and Europe. I expect the ps3 to outsell the 360 on a monthly basis in those territories. It will just take a few years to make up the difference.

You yourself should know there are different sites reporting different things. But this site seems to be the most accurate. And here you go take a look.

the europe pre-order phenomenon might be a "let's get a PS3 so we can sell it on ebay" phenomenon in disguisemwa
Somehow I dont see that happening with them announcing 1 million for launch on day one and the horror stories of U.S. ebayers failures due to great supply. Dare I see people are actually buying it to play it.

That would make for a heck of a story, though, if it was a pre-order boon for the purpose of selling on ebay... :lol:

It's true the PS3 can not even musta up enough sales to barley get over selling 1.5 million units. And they are dragging bad trying to reach 2 million.

And not even when they launch in Europe will this help much. Apparently pre order sales and interest is WAY DOWN then expected.

The ONLY WAY PS3 would ever catch 360 is if they keep it on the market for many years after MS has moved onto there next system. This is the SAD TRUTH. Sony's run as king is OVER.

Hate to break this to you but Preorders in Europe are breaking records for the PS3. Play.com's head games buyer, Gian Luzio, commented that demand for the PS3 on its site has been phenomenal. He said, "The Sony PS3 has preordered six times more than the Xbox 360 in this period before launch, and 15 times more than the Wii. So it's the most preordered console yet." And the PS3s have reached 2 million a while ago as well. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/755/755530p1.html I know you wanna believe in your console but this is rediculous. Think about this logically for a second. THe PS3 is selling well in Japan, U.S. and if all goes well in Europe. It will easily catch up to the 360 that sells very well in the U.S., ok in Europe and poorly in Japan. 3 Regions worth of support will beat out 2 regions worth of support. And dont say Japan doesnt matter because they bought 20 million PS2s last gen.

You yourself should know there are different sites reporting different things. But this site seems to be the most accurate. And here you go take a look.

LOL.........more accurate then Sony's numbers why??????? Because they say what you want. Sony said they shipped X amount of number and you expect me to take my advice from a site where I have no clue how or where they get their numbers. Please......

Somehow I think those days are over. Now that companies and ebay is wise to it I dont see anything happening like the 360. That one caught us by suprise and was done by clever ebayers. Now every idiot thinks they can get rich and it doesnt quite work that way. The first in make the money and get away with it, imitators tend to fail.

This is a question being asked in another thread here- can we trust nexgenwars? If the answer is no, why not? Do we have a reason not to trust them? Unless one of you can prove one way or the other yoru theory on nexgenwars accuracy, stop using it as ammunition.

So, sonys 120 million fanbase will drop to under 40 million?

I dont think so buddy.

Javy03

Where are they now?

THe same place they were when the PS1 had 100 or so million and the PS2 came out. Enjoying their PS1 and slowly buying the PS2 and waiting for more games to come out. Thats the same thing PS2 owners are doing right now with the PS3. .

thats me enjoying all the ps2 games I missed and playing wii too

I said this for the wii and 360 and ill say it for the ps3. I am in no way a fan of ps3 but it is ENTIRELY too eary to forecast the winner of the console war after 3 months. A consoles success isn't determined in 3 months let alone the first year. Games will determine the console war and a lot of casuals make their choice based on which library has the most games they want.
