wii will be forst

ps3 will be second

 360 will be third

 

why? the wii has taken off, and i doubt that it will come second or third this gen

 

the ps3 is outselling the 360 (across the same period of 4 months) by half a million units. this is in america, 360s strongest market, and arguably ps3s least strongest,

 

also 360 flops in japan.

You logic is wrong

360 is clearly first, Wii has run out of system sellers, will stop selling good soon, PS3 is selling worst than 360 worldwide, so will ALWAYS be 10 million sales behind, 360 has YET to show the real big EXCLUSIVE guns like Halo 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!, Too Human, Ninja Gaiden 2, Alan Wake, Lost Odyssey,Mass Effect!!!!, Bioshock, Fable 2 !!!!!!!!!!!, Infinite Undiscovery, Elveon, Shivering Isles, Two Worlds, Overlord, Precursors, Eternal Sonata, Cry On, Blue Dragon, Project Offset etc etc etc

So 360 first by millions

PS3 second when people realise how much of a garbage Wii is

Wii third and dies after no games are any good, that is already happening

The Wii's dieing... that's why GS ran that article about it being sold out in the US and UK...

 it's not a fault. It's just what happened. 

PS3 will sell consistantly well in europe, and will more than make up for the non- worldwide launch.

And don't forget, japan is a HUGE contributor to overall worldwide sales.

And PS3 is the only one benefiting from that market in a significant way.

Logic coming from Sony fanboy yeah we will take this post very seriously lol

I think as it stands now it mght be Wii then 360 then PS3.

I used to think it will end up being PS3, Wii, 360 in the end but honestly now I really dont know. I think MS has the chance of atleast being second if not 1st if they want it bad enough. I think buying T2, even though it would be different from buying rare and harder, it still is a big enough deal to me as the only way you could play on the console atleast would be 360 and the GTA is ginormous aling with other T2 stuff to add on top of it

Wii 1st or 2nd, it's got a lot of interest and people are buying it for the more innovative approach towards playing games

 

360  again 1st or 2nd, it has the games, true it hasn't captured Japan but......

 

PS3 got a very pitiful response from Europe, hell the GAME i live near had about 8 in, they didn't even sell out due to the cancellations of pre-orders. Can't say how it's doing in other territories but I can't imagine it's that much better. So PS3 in 3rd.

Honestly PS3 sales compared to 360 sales when they first came out for first three months...the PS3 should be selling double what the 360 did as a minimum IMO. With their huge PS2 base. The 360 launch was a crappy launch and they only came out thay year early just to sell as much as they can without really any serious effort and without their big guns like Halo 3.

I can't believe that people are basing thier opinions of how the console wars will end up, by looking at launch numbers.

Do you people realize that the PS3 will probably last for 10 years on the market?

PS1 lasted for ALMOST 10 years, and PS2 has been out for 7 years, and it's still as strong as ever.

Although I am a Sony fan, this is faulty logic.   That last month sales figures for the PS3 shows that the whole "PS3 is outselling the 360 during same time periods" is now done.   The 360 never dropped below 200,000 units a month while the PS3 is readily available (although not in my city) and has still dropped below 200,000.

If you look at how a all three of the last gen consoles launched, and the year following them you might notice that it basicaly prediced the outcome of last gen.

Well, it's not selling double 360 numbers because it's so damn expesive, and it doesn't have it's BIG game franchises out yet.

Give it a couple of years and you'lle see. PS3 will start to outsell XBox 360 consistantly, and never look back.

sounds about right. I think the difference between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will be minuscule though so it won't matter.

im gonna say it again, becasue every cow seems to think this. The PS3 is not competing with the 3260 from LAST year, its competing with it NOW, and right now its losing. the 360 had shortedges way into march and supply wasent good, which is why the 1 year early release was a great idea.

sure, last gen happened to work like that.

But look at PS1s numbers vs N64.

Things can change SIGNIFICANTLY in the console market at the drop of a hat.

Just because PS3s predecessors were successful doesn't mean PS3 will be. Look at the amount of untils the Saturn and Dreamcast sold at launch, and how long did they last? If Sony can't shift the units at launch, or afterwards then they're in for a very tough 2nd and 3rd year (if they make it that far). No sales = No games (why would dev's want to produce a game for a system that isn't selling?), no games begs the question, why would a gamer want it? Guess what..... The Playstation name was built on games and that's what most people will buy it for! The PS1 and PS2 were successful because they had games.

Launch figures can't just be brushed off, especially when they are for the most "highly anticipated" console of this gen. Sony had an incredibly poor launch and if they continue to lose games like DMC4 and maybe even FF then they haven't got a snowballs chance in hell.

Dreamcast sold pretty well at launch actually.

And PS3 will have PLENTY of BIG exclusive titles.

Don't forget, Sony is the 3rd largest games publisher in the world, behind EA and THQ.

They have more BIG franchises than Nintendo and MS put together.

And Sony has better 3rd party support than Ninteno also.

You can count on them having almost every major multi-plat that is announced.

Here's the flat out truth.

The MAJORITY of people around the world that are interested in buying a console WANT a PS3.

They just WON'T get one right now becuase it's too damned expensive.

What does that mean?

It means that some people will go get an Xbox 360. Some will get a Wii, yes. But MOST people will just wait, and play thier PS2s until PS3 gets a price drop. Or until an irresistable game comes out that they HAVE to get.

And that's why the console wars this generation will be alot different from last gen.

PS3 won't sell as much as PS2, simply because of the amount of people who went to get a Wii or 360 before PS3 gets a price drop.

But PS3 will easily outsell Xbox 360 worldwide. PS3 does what it does better than Xbox 360.

Wii will easily come in first place, becuase it's expanding the market and making it more accesable to more types of people.

[QUOTE="DaysAirlines"]Wait what? The 360 had 3.19 million units sold at the end of March last year.Trading_Zoner

 

that's worldwide.

he's talking about NA sales only.

Remeber PS3 JUST now launched in Europe? 360 had a worldwide launch.

PS3 only sold 95% of their sitting stock on launch day in France.  Considering the "huge hype" and the fact that "Europe will always be loyal to Sony," how come it's not selling very fast?

the ps3 is outselling the 360 (across the same period of 4 months) by half a million units. this is in america, 360s strongest market, and arguably ps3s least strongest,

The bolded part is what I want a link on.

Back up your claim with some proof. Otherwise, thread = failure.

Still waiting.....

Yeah I'll just go ahead and say that it's not true.

PS3 HAS sold more than Xbox 360 in it's first 4 months. But it's not a significant amount more.

 it's probably something like 20,000 more or something.

But still, comparing launch numbers is a COMPLETE waste of time.

 only 95% huh?

:?

how can you say it's not selling "very fast" already?

Give it a good year at least.

Even then it would be too early to say it's not selling well.

Then this thread is a failure. 

The 1st problem with the "The PS3 is selling faster than the x360 at this point" argument is that the x360 is out-selling the PS3 NOW with no signs of that changing. Any possible ground the PS3 is supposedly gaining on the x360 is being offset by the sales of the x360 NOW.

The other problem with the argument is that Feb07 NPD numbers showed the PS3 being outsold by a whopping 101k units. The x360 sold 160k units in Feb06. Technically, the PS3 still has a "lead" of 40k at this point, but if March07 turns out like Feb07, then the PS3's "lead" will no longer exist.

wii will be forst

ps3 will be second

360 will be third

 

why? the wii has taken off, and i doubt that it will come second or third this gen

 

the ps3 is outselling the 360 (across the same period of 4 months) by half a million units. this is in america, 360s strongest market, and arguably ps3s least strongest,

 

also 360 flops in japan.

You logic is wrong

360 is clearly first, Wii has run out of system sellers, will stop selling good soon, PS3 is selling worst than 360 worldwide, so will ALWAYS be 10 million sales behind, 360 has YET to show the real big EXCLUSIVE guns like Halo 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!, Too Human, Ninja Gaiden 2, Alan Wake, Lost Odyssey,Mass Effect!!!!, Bioshock, Fable 2 !!!!!!!!!!!, Infinite Undiscovery, Elveon, Shivering Isles, Two Worlds, Overlord, Precursors, Eternal Sonata, Cry On, Blue Dragon, Project Offset etc etc etc

So 360 first by millions

PS3 second when people realise how much of a garbage Wii is

Wii third and dies after no games are any good, that is already happening

 

The Wii's dieing... that's why GS ran that article about it being sold out in the US and UK...  

The Wii is direct competition only with PS2, xbox, not real next gen systems, so that is why it sells that good, BUT will always be last in next gen gaming, in fact should not even be considered in that list of NEXT GEN systems

I think it's a waste of time to focus too much on the launch period numbers.

This Gen. is going to be decided by long-term sales, even more so than previous generations.

You have to give each system at least 2 years to really be able to tell who will be a failure and who will be a success.

I think ALL of the consoles will be pretty succesful this gen.

Wii will sell a CRAPLOAD (probably around 130 Million) of consoles and expand the market significantly.

PS3 will help bring Blue-Ray to be a media standard. It will sell around 80 Million at the end of it's lifecycle (which will be quite a bit longer than the other two consoles BTW)

And Xbox 360 will increase market share over the OG Xbox. It will probably double Xboxes numbers actually. I say around 50 Million. Can MS really ask for more? I think that DURING the time Xbox 360 is in the market it will outsell PS3 until the very end of Xbox 360a cycle, and PS3 will go on after 360 for a few more years.

:lol:

If Nintendo needs a sales spike, they just release a game called "Wii such-and-such".  You'll probably think it's crap, but it'll keep the Wiis moving.

Nintendo doesn't need to worry about selling systems right now.  Their competitors do.

you know, this argument was getting pretty good until this last part.  Sony fans don't worry.  just wait 2 years, then get a PS3.  Forget that the 360 will have a dozen AAA's with games like Halo3, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, etc.  "remember, we are all still only playing PS2s, and not gonna give our hard earned dollars to a evil corp like Microsoft." 

When a cow is cornered; the most used excuse is "well you gotta give it some time.  Wait, wait, wait, wait wait, then wait some more.

If the war ended 3-4 years form now I would agree with the order , but I would never count out the ps3 in the end because I think it is going to sell well even 6-7 years from now.

That is what i am talking about, people eventually will be bored of such games, and turn to 360, the next cheapest alternative

That's because the 360 had shortages.. Look at it now, much larger fanbase, no shortages and selling more than the ps3 in NA each month.

And don't forget, japan is a HUGE contributor to overall worldwide sales.

And PS3 is the only one benefiting from that market in a significant way.
