Who thinks the PS3 is about to become top dog again?

[QUOTE="thetruespin"]wait wait wait.. im not saying the 360 is trash, and I am not considering the Wii as it is nothing but a mass market gimick... but i think that, in the eyes of the masses, the PS3 is the more advanced console... the was released earlier and, to many, now seems a little dated. ogvampire

the ps3 has sold less than the Wii. if that statement is true, wouldnt the masses have bought ps3 instead of 360 and Wii?

So true. If the Wii is a Gimmick as most people say, then why is the 360 and PS3 copying them? Natal is nothing more than a Gimmick and I won't even start on the PS3 magic wand. Either way they put it, if they say that the Wii is a gimmick then they are also admitting that their system is too due to the fact of them trying their absolute hardest to be like the Wii.

anyone who says the ps3 will win this gen is just being silly. the wii has won with MS 2nd(go nintendo and MS!)

I just added those cause you guys added Halo and Forza.. just to be fair

simslifer

no exclusives are painful to the enemy with multiplats we don't need the enemies system to play those games...

Forza3 is the only threat I really see but Gran Turismo will deal with that game, halo is just an expansion so no serious threat.

It's always been to dog. It's got the best and most hardware for the money, free online, and great exclusive games

No games for 360 coming out soon? You do know that a shooter that spanks all Sony offerings in sales is coming out in 3 weeks right? Now I agree a lot of people have been waiting on this PS3 drop, and it's value is excellent, but MS forgotten? No. cainetao11

When you compare what you get for your money with each system the PS3 comes out on top. Now games preference is subjective.

Absolutely not. Maybe it'll pass the 360 in the next couple of years (and that's a big maybe), but in order to overtake the Wii by November 2015 (the latest next-gen could possibly start) the PS3 would have to outsell the Wii by almost 400K units per month.

Again ? They've been on top for some time now imho .... it isn't going to change any time soon looking at their first party studios and partnerships with independents.

We advised you not to bail a few years ago , but you made your beds.

Again ? They've been on top for some time now imho .... Nike_Air

Not in their opinion, I would think.

It was never top dog.

When was it top dog to begin with...sSubZerOo

Whether it will take over in terms of total sales that quickly is debatable, but it seems that the whole world has forgotten about the 360 and is now focusing on the PS3. No games for the 360 coming out soon, the PS3 slim, the price drop, the exclusives... big names like GT5 and GoW...

MS just seems tired now... and i think for some people, the 360 seems like an old console, even tho it is pretty much as powerful

thetruespin

Not me. Sony has things going for them, but all of the Sony fanboys are acting as though everyone and their mother will stop buying Microsoft products and that every major Sony game is coming out like next month....

STOP THE PRESSES! No games coming out soon? Come again?

Halo ODST

Froza 3

GTA IV: Ballad of Gay Tony

Left 4 Dead 2

Mass Effect 2

Splinter Cell Conviction

Alan Wake

Plus there is a slew of great multiplatform games coming out, and there are already 30 million+ 360 owners which I think plenty of them are going to go ahead and buy some of these games for the console they already own (I know I will).

Let's just go ahead and dial it all the way back and be mindful of the fact that Sony has been getting trounced constantly for awhile now. Oh yes and also Microsoft seems to be coming out with a $400 bundle that has a 250 gig hard drive, an extra controller, and Froza 3 bundled with it. Plus Microsoft is ahead and can afford a subpar holiday season (especially after how wonderful Sony did last year) and also Sony had to do a redesign to match the price point of 360, what if Microsoft does a redesign and their price drops another $100? Where does that leave Sony having played their redesign card?

I named games you can't get on the PS3, and these are all games that are coming in the next few months. If you want to play those, you either A.) Get a 360 or B.) Get a PC, either way Microsoft is getting your monies while Sony gets none.

The whole world, huh?

Well, last week in Chicago the news mentioned the price drop of the 360 while showing couple of kids playing the system, said that the "extremely popular" franchise Halo was getting a new game (then showed part of one of the trailers for the game), then at the end said "oh, and the ps3 is getting a price cut too". The next day another channel mentioned it during the "Money" segment of the morning news.

The ps3 seems an afterthought to most of the U.S. Until Sony can do something about that, the yare destined to stay in last place. And bear in mind, Chicago is one of the US's major markets. Like, number 3 probably.

plain and simple...

on two systems = multiplat....

why not just name gamesthat 360 has like Halo ODST and Forza3 be content with your collection despite how small.

btw the gta game u mentionedis just an add on.

I don't think there is much chance at all that PS3's month to month sales will exceed that of the Wii and certainly not overal sales.

too little too late IMO.

It never was top dog this gen. That's something people have to face, Sony can try again next year.

That's the beauty of generations, you'll never know who'll come out on top next time.

top dog?

not going to happen. but i do think it'll come out in 2nd in the end of the gen.

[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="simslifer"]

no exclusives are painful to the enemy with multiplats we don't need the enemies system to play those games...

Forza3 is the only threat I really see but Gran Turismo will deal with that game, halo is just an expansion so no serious threat.

Doesn't the PS3 need to pretty much double it's monthly figures for the next 4 years just to catch up?

Anyone know if this is true as i don't really know the overall sales for the consoles?

[QUOTE="simslifer"]

[QUOTE="Jandurin"] ah. Well, yes, you should add multiplats when talking about a library as they are GAMES that you can PLAY Especially in an argument of PS3 vs. 360, naming multiplats that the other can't play is especially painful for the "enemy"snakefist5000

there's no such thing as 360/ps3 thread while pretending PC doesn't exist..

sorry that doesn't work...face it PC exist and stole a whole bunch of 360 games..

Well lets not forget that Sony still loses money on the slim so dont expect any more price drops from them for a long time again.

On the other hand MS could do a real price drop anytime they feel they may need to.

People somehow think that Sony had some sort of grip on this gen. Explain to me then why the current PS3's are nowhere near as equipped as the launch ones? Actually you dont need to tell me because they did it to cut costs from the Ps3. Good luck.:)

PS3 wasalways Top Dog....when it was first announched it was Top Dog even ^^

I am not sure it will overtake the Wii, but overtaking the 360 is very possible.

Damn it all to hell, For how long is this ***** going to continue, how come even the slim isnt breaking even with cheaper partsTheOldOlder

Because Sony doesn't know what they're doing this generation lol.

For it to be top dog again that would mean it was once top dog and this mutt has been at the bottom of the sales charts this entire gen.

Sony's done for this gen, they're just trying to cover their losses for next gen
