Will PS3 sell better after E3 ? (poll).

Everybody is expecting Sony to put everythingon the line this E3.

Do you predict that E3 will be the turning point for Sony? I for one do think so.

I am a Wii owner, and I have to say I'm not that hyped after seeing that not so much effort is taken to keep the hardcore fans happy especially from 3rd partiesand with rumors about games cancellation. Maybe this E3 will be owned by 360 or PS3.

Not if this E3 is like last years they wont.

If Sony have a brilliant presentation and Microsoft and Nintendo show basically nothing/mess it up, then Sony might start seeing some better fortune.

I think so, casuals can see all the hit games Sony has this fall. Also people will hear about the price drop.CJL13

I agree with price drop but casuals wouldn't know keep up with e3 to know about the games.

I think all the consoles will get a spike after E3eddy_of_york

yep

Guys, E3 is a trade event. The Average Joe on the street won't know a thing about it- only Geeks like us pay attention. And we already own a system or two.

Sales spikes occur at Xmas and when a price drop happens- and not before then.

No. Even if Sony has the best E3 ever, it is not going to result in any sizable spike in PS3 sales. E3 is not going to change how expensive the PS3 is.

All my friends know about E3. Plus if they hear about the price drop they'll hear about E3.

Do all of your friends go online to find out about games? Do they go to gamer-specfic sites like Gamespot?

I'm referring to the guy on the street who just walks into a store and picks a game he likes the look of- which is by far the largest consumer group.

He's right I think that we forget that we are actually slightly out of touch with the gaming market and I don't just mean casual games.

Sony's E3 will be full of announcements. Microsofts E3 will be full of gameplay and demos of the announcements they made last year, trust me Microsoft will have the strongest showing, as they usually do. Sony will make progress in the right direction, but if you put everything aside thats happened before E3, Microsofts will appear to be the strongest, hands down.shadow8585

Thats funny, becuase I thought Nintendo had the best showing last year and obviosuly 2005 was Sony's year. Plus, I don't know where you were when sony was showing off amazing looking GAMEPLAY at GDC and SGD.

E3 will have about as much effect on PS3 selling as it did on Nintendo losing their kiddie image last generation: absolutely zero.

E3 is here to please the fanboys and nothing more. It's fun, it's exciting, and outside of the gaming public, it goes completely unnoticed.

i have to agree with u on that. most casuals i know dont even know about e3 or go to game sites. my casual friends dont really care about games or know about games like uncharted or bioshock. their library consist of games like madden and tiger woods. their way of getting news are by word of mouth with ppl they come in contact with orseeing whats out there in a store.

only the hardcore follow E3, casuals dont care. so NO it wont increase sales if they have a good E3, just braggin rights on SWnybritboy

I agree

Halo 3 and GTA will own the rest of 2007, Sony's sales will still be rock bottom.

Sony might do better in 2008.
