I think the PS3 will eventually be the #1 platform of choice come late 2009. Wii will continue to reign supreme until then. Nintendo will most likely have an ace up its sleeve and launch its successor soon after, though.

If it's lifespan is as long as the ps2s (still selling strong) then it could make it in the long run, in the END. Even AFTER this gen people could still be buying it as a cheap blu ray player and HD game system (just like people still buy the Ps2). But i'm talking YEARS down the line people won't even care by then

I don't mean that it's going to outsell its current sales and its sales up until late 2009, but it'll start outselling it at some point.

I think the PS3 is like the Super Nintendo. A good quality system well worth the money that won't see its best games until quite late in it's lifespan. That being said, I think Nintendo is growing too far ahead that a PS3 victory is highly unlikely. Will it beat the 360? maybe...

Only way I could see that happening is if:

  • Sony drops the price of the 40GB to $300
  • Sony switches out the SixAxis with the DualShock 3 in it
  • Sony stops selling their own damn 6-Hour, first-party titles at $60 a game.

I;m content on the PS3 beating the 360. I like the Wii, and it has great games. Can't say the same to a console that fails on innovation and reliability.

You do realize that cows are the faction that need to get back down to earth, and away from Planet Bovine, right? Of course, there are some cows that still think that, don't be surprised if it's a majority either.

they need to find away to convince the ps2 fans to by their consoles. ps2 fans seem to be stuck in last gen. I want a ps3 but my pockets dont...As a former ps2 fan I just decide to wait and go play ff7 for psp. Which is basically what I have dont with every Playstation.Wait! Its never hurts to wait on ps system because two gens in a row sony found a way to max the consoles life to like 6,7.

I believe that when it's all said and done, the PS3 will be the console with most units sold. When will that happen? Don't ask me, there's no way we can know when will the PS3 die. The PS2 is still going strong after 8 years.

Anything is possible. But like I said: Reality is what counts.

well anythings possible....but the way things are currently going its highly unlikely.

to be honest i dont think theres much sony can really do about that either. if it does happen, it will because nintendo make a very very stupid mistake rather than sony doing anything amazing. at the mo ninty just has the markets favour and thats a very very hard thing to beat. sony should know...they had it for 2 gens in a row.

You're right, they're not the same console, but they are made by the same company and if Sony could make the PS1 and PS2 as successful as they were, who are you to say they can't make the PS3 as successful as its predecessors?

well if youre gonna go by history to determine the future, remember that no company has been console king for more than 2 generations (NES, SNES, ps1, ps2)

If nintendo could make the NES and SNES as successful as they were, they could make the N64 and Game Cube as successful as their predacessors. Oh wait.....

At the rate the ps3 is picking up on the 360 (30,00 units per month), it will take a long ass time to just catch 2nd place. Even if it outsold the 360 100,000 units per month, it would take almost a year to make up a million consoles. Take that statistic and then add in the 360's 5-7 million console lead already and we're talking a decade or more. at it's current clip. Forget the Wii, it won.

It's a possibilty. The same chance that the 360 will never have another case of RROD ever.

Thing is, Playstation 2s still, so it's still making money :D

Depends on what the rules are.

If the gen ends when the first of the three bows out, no. Ms won't let this gen go too far before they launch another early riser.

If this gen ends whenever each individual console's maker ends its support, yes. With the PS2 outselling any other console this month, once again Sony shows all how long time console support is done. And there's no indication that PS3 won't receive the same lengthy support. And if that happens, PS3 will outsell Wii.

That is, if Nintendo has support on the Wii like GameCube.

Its all ifs and "I think". Hard to say what will happen.

Except the Wii and if we're counting handhelds since this is System Wars, then the PSP and the DS as well.

man speaks the truth. i dont believe there has been 1 month where the ps3 actually closed the gap on the Wii
