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.

When the Ps3 wasn't even released xflop fanboys were posting stupid topics talking about their opinions but stating it like facts, and the same goes for when the PS3 only has been in the market for a few months( and not even available world wide), and i have been using the same reply over and over and this topic is no exception. You might want to check ur crystal ball that tells the future cuz its full of S#it!!

It's way to early in the game to believe that statement. I think they can actually catch the XBox 360, but it's not going to happen this year. Even the Wii has a decent chance of catching the XBox 360. That's a bold prediction, but it's one that isn't factual at this point. Come back in about a year or so and see if you still think that way.

Never say never. In my opinion though the PS3 failing has been set in stone since E3 '06. It would take millions of moronic people for the PS3 to be successful. And from what we have seen so far, there just isn't that many people fooled by Sony, in Japan or NA. After Sony has depleted it's stash of worshipers, the PS3 will completely flatline. Also to everyone saying the PS3 is a 10 year console, if it doesn't sell it will be a 3-5 year console.

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.



I wouldnt say its selling "well" in the US... they did not to expect to have PS3s collecting dust this early..

the Wii will catch it though... probably before the end of the year ;)dustin-diamond

That's a hard one to predict. I think the Wii surge will start to slow down after Spring. The Wii will probably catch up some, but I don't know if they'll sell enough to pass the XBox 360 by the end of the year. Once the holidays hit again, people are going to buy the system that has the best games and a great price. The XBox 360 will have both of those in spades as I'm sure M$ will drop the price before Thanksgiving. The Wii will easily have the price as well, but I don't think they'll have the amount of quality titles the XBox 360 will have. People who are buying the Wii right now are getting it because of Nintendo's games and because of the gimmick in the control. Once the gimmick on motion-sensor control wears off, gamers will turn to the quality of the games to entertain them. Will the Wii have enough of them is the big question.

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. musicalmac

The thing is all the COWS used it before the PS3 launch saying 360 will never hit 10 million by the end of the year.

Now when we see the PS3 struggleing to even get close to 2 million now it's a site that is HOG WALSH.

Typical COWS right?

Yeah.. that's been said before. I think they are also waiting for the price to drop as well. I have no doubt that I will own a PS3 eventually, but chances are very, very good that I will own the best PS3 games before I even get the PS3.

All of you cows need to accept the fact that the PS3 is priced completely out of the market, for everyone except Sony worshipers.

I promise you one of the biggest reasons the Wii is selling well is because of it's price. That's also the reason the PS2 continues to sell well.

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).project343

perfectly said.

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.sonicare

forget japan how about phillipines, malaysia, s. korea, India, etc.

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.

GamerGuy07360
This is the most opinionated/false facts thread I have ever seen. First, in Europe, pre-orders are 6 times more then the Wii and Xbox360... Second, even if Sony won't be king anymore, Nintendo would retake the spot, just you watch...

PS3's are selling well even at its price not proving its value yet. By what Im seeing Ps3 is selling much faster then 360 did.

When the new 360 comes out and MS drops the core and drops the cost of the current Premium,MS will really start whipping Sony AZZZZZZZ!!! You know why 120gig HD HDMI if you want it? And the best online and the most and best content to download on that 120gig HD.

So you may see the current premium drop to the 299.00 spot and the new 360 start at the 479.00 spot. And what does Sony have then a system that's not as good still far more expensive and a system that has been said not to turn a profit well into year 4.

Sony is COOKED!!!

Oh and yeah Sony keeps loosing exclusives by the day. How long is it going to take for almost all gamers to say wait cheaper better online better controller better GPU=360 most have already accepted this.

Microsoft is only going to get out 2 million consoles by June, thats like only selling about 1.5 million consoles in  4 MONTHS which will bring 360 sales up to 11-11.5 million, I'm sure Sony can reach atleast 5-6 million by June. Next month all the awesome games should be out and then PS3 demand is going to increase and its all ready in high demand in Europe. Oh and remember PS3 is doing better then the 360 in the same time frame so there.

I'm willing to bet that the sales difference between PS3 and 360 is going to be minimal by year end and next year PS3 is going to over take the 360, you can quote me on that if you like.

Wii will be the victor in the end though:)

I think I would rather see nintendo or sony earn they top spot. Ms is just greedy and inexperienced. But I know and every1 who thinks open minded that if you bought a ps3, you know that in the near future years its gonna the most popular console. Sony proved to consumers that their console will keep you happy, so did Nintendo but M$ is not reliable. How many people you know still playing xbox?

I'd like to say to a few, THE CONSOLE IS ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD!!!!!! I as a huge Sony fanboy would have to agree with others though. Most Sony lovers are just waiting for the games to some. The price is ok considering it's a pretty good value considering what they COULD have priced for a Blue-Ray player/game system. I mean, everyone thought the PS2 would fail and I didn't get one until a little later myself because of the flunkie launch, but look at the PS2 now. It outselling just about every system in the market, once the PS2 fades there's likely to be a great surge in the number of PS3's sold. The thing is though, that if you want good graphics, you've got to pay. The 360 proved that with a raise in the price of a standard game. But a bad factor for the PS3 is that because of it's format it's hard to develop for.

I think there is no doubt that the PS3 will catch the 360. The question I have is if it will do it before or after the next Xbox comes out. I believe we are probably only five or six years away from M$ next system.

Well 40% of a number bought a 360 in about a year. 

Will they sell 48 millions PS3's by the end of the same amount of time?

Well, the PS3 is supposed to last 10 years, don't forget about that:Pher0_54
I think it will look a bit silly in ten years. just imagine rolling that thing out to show people HD-DVDs and then, trying and failing to fit the disk in the hole, realizing it carries the mark of an ancient Betamax style brand : Blu Ray. think of the embarrassment.

The top selling games in North America are basically MADDEN and GTA. If you can play both those games on 360 for 200 bucks less with equal or better graphics plus HALO3 I don't see how PS3 is going to be very appealing to the average consumer this holiday season. Sony will have SPIDERMAN 3 on BLU-RAY which should help sell some systems if its properly displayed but that seems to be the only killer exclusive they will have ready unless MGS4 ships this year.
