I had 3 people come in to where i work today and rent ps3 games, and i have to ask have you rented a ps3 game before, then they all said no I just bought one. Which is a rare thing, usually its the same handful of people that rent the ps3 games.

Plus I know 2 of my friends bought the 40gb PS3 not to long ago

I saw 2 people carrying around brand new PS3s at best buy

And i have also noticed some good ps3 advertising going on in Magazines and on TV

Could the ps3 be making a comeback? will the PS3 be the hot item this holiday season?

Who knows... I cant wait to play MGS4... the main reason i bought the damn thing

I have an outlandish theory.

Maybe the price of something, affects the demand for it? Crazy I know, but let's keep our eyes open to see if it's true.

I think you're on to something with the price. Are you saying that a lower price increases demand, and therefore increases sales of the PS3?

I'm saving up to buy one now i thought it would take longer for a $200 price drop for 399 thats a good deal. i like PS cause of the Sony franchises like Twisted Metal and the RPG's sony makes even though it's not really a franchise they find a way to make new RPG ever gen. i'll get a PS3 around the same time GTA$ is out.

It's official, PS3 sells better than all consoles combined because you saw a couple people holding PS3's. The PS3 hopefully is selling a little more considering its price drop, but getting the idea from some people holding PS3's is the dumbest reason to think that.

I know lowering the price increases demand but I have just noticed this recently and it could be the return of Sony or just a surge... "Who knows..."

I read your whole post...All I was saying was how stupid it was for you to, before getting to your main point, talk about your little local experiences and how you tied that into your thesis about the PS3's possible resurgence

wow, lemmings these days...think outside the box. This person saw a small sample size of what is really happening. If he saw this happening at his game store/movie store and saw people buying ps3's at stores then it must be happening at other places as well. Now when you take thousands of stores multiplied by what this person is stating then thats a lot of ps3's...get it now?

Due to the fact that I have no expenses and a job, I was able to splurge on some gaming things. My brother bought a Wii recently, so i bought a Wii game(Zelda). I also purchased an 80GB PS3 (MotorStorm included) and R&C. I have to say that I have been playing all these games and the only one I'm remotely disappointed with is Motorstorm. pielover666

motorstorm could have been awesome. If you like the rally car thing play dirt it is really cool

The words you should be looking for here are "misinformation"..."lies"...or "desperate. The 40 gig unit will not come out until 11/02/07 (according to the BB sit :lol: ).

According to his bio, the guy is from New York.

Is all this PS3 "activity" being carried out by Europeans visiting New York?

This is pretty much Sony's chance to relaunch and it seems like most people are jumping on the new model. Not to mention advertising is getting better.

It's not time for the "comeback" just yet imo.

I think it will be cemented as a serious competitor of this gen later next year.

Danm_999

Yeah, the price dropped to $400 in the U.S. and will do the same thing in Nov in the U.S. The 80GB dropped to $499 about a week ago. Yes, PS3 are going to sell some because of the price drop. Xbox 360's bundle will be released this week. We'll see how that does.

Here's to all you 360 fangirls:

Hardware Sales, 27th Oct 2007

JapanAmericaOthersTotaln/an/a177,772177,772n/an/a111,300111,300n/an/a73,61473,614n/an/a51,75751,757n/an/a38,21238,212

Others being Europe, where we do have the 40GB model and where advertising is big atm. When the US releases the 40GB model these sales figures for the PS3 could very well double.

Could be, but i still think its too late for the PS3 to outsell the 360. Especailly that the new Xbox will be out in around 3 years time.
