The FACT, PS3 is outselling x360 in JAPAN and Europe in February.
Anyway, enjoy sales, while i will enjoy with GREAT PS3 games NOW and GREAT sales of PS3 after PRICECUT.
Good Luck, you will need it.
And here are A LOT OF TROLLS, which don`t understand that Killzone 2 was selling only for 2 DAYS and did around 350k.
Uncharted in November 2007 in 10 days did around 120k, and now this game is around 3 mln. WW sales. =)
So, if PS3 games doesn`t make a very big launch week, that is compensated in long term.
Anyway, enjoy while you can(i mean till PS3 pricecut), because after THAT you won`t have that opportunity anymore.))
Sony spend ...
Haters will stop whining about PRICE. =)
Moreover, there will be NOTHING left to complain about PS3, it will be just a PERFECT console.
Now, about sales, let`s think, that PS3 after price cut will sell around 20 mln. per year.
IF today:
Wii - 47 mln.
x360 - 28 mln.
PS3 - 22 mln.
By the end of 2009:
Wii - 65 mln.
x360 - 35 mln.
PS3 - 40 mln.
By the end of 2010:
Wii - 80 m...
Mmm... NO!
p.s. of`course Microsoft is totally ripping off its consumers, BUT after selling their consoles so cheap, they need somehow to compensate those losses. It`s a business.
Though, i like Sony`s way more... It`s expensive on the start, BUT more cheaper in a long term. =)
p.p.s. actually, @1.4 you are wrong on this:
"That MS can sell hard drives for this much shows that people find their product worth the money,"
It`s ...
NGS2 with stable framerate, in HD resolution, with fixed camera and additional content = Masterpiece!
Only on PS3!
It will be outselling x360 weekly by 2 times on WW.
Maybe, it will be selling on same level as Wii or even higher(if 100$ pricecut).
The GOOD: more gamers will be able to afford PS3, though those 100$ will easy compensated by FREE online.
The BAD: Sony Gaming Devision is making less money, which means less investment into new PS3 exclusive games.
So what the point of doing a pricecut BEFORE they can have a good PROFIT after pricecut?

72k and counting.
Maybe atleast some use of this crappy article.
Yes, they do try HARD. =)
Just imagine how PS3 would be selling, if it would have all those JRPGs, which x360 got..
Moreover, x360 even for some time had more japanese oriented games, than ps3, though with 1 year advantage.
YET, i couldn`t say, that x360 sales in Japan are impressive.
JUST hardcore japanese JRPG lovers bought x360 and it`s JRPGs.
MS got that jrpg crowd, but that`s all.
So, i wouldn`t call that a foot in the door at all.
...
And 6 of them are JRPGs.
IF we use VG data - http://vgchartz.com/japtota...
And jrpg genre is pretty popular in Japan.
3 other games are, Halo 3(which is very popular BRAND), AC6(which was bundled) and DoA4(girls, girls, girls).
MS really did probably everything they could, to change the tide. BUT Japans ...
So, if there will be around 35 mln. PS3 sold by the end of this year - this is failing?
Or 50 mln. (FIFTY) by the end of 2010 - that also a failure?
So in what way it`s failing? It`s continue to sell, being the MOST expensive console on the market.
It`s continue to get new GREAT games, like:
Killzone 2
Yakuza 3
Demon`s Soul
Flower
InFamous
Uncharted 2
Heavy Rain
God of War 3
Team Ico game
Quantu...
oh, that probably works only for PS3 exclusives...))
Anyway, the game is good, but barely great.
No only PS3 version sold 4 times better, but the attach rate of RE5 on PS3 os HIGHER. =)
PS3 version probably will reach 500k, while x360 will barely sell 100k, lol.
Japanese know, where the QUALITY is. :)
There is nothing can help x360 in Japan, even Star Ocean: The Last Hope FAILED.
p.s. i hope, Capcom will reconsider, and release LP2 ps3 version simultaneously with x360, IF they want another 300-400k of LP2 in Japan and expand that BRAND. =)
Though target render was shown in mid of 2005 during e3, the actual developement started in the begining of 2006, when first PS3 DEV Kits were available. Same goes for Uncharted.
In 1,5 year GG created an engine and showed first KZ2 footage on e3 2007.
KZ2 was already completed by the end of 2008. GG just used extra time to polish game.
In reality, KZ2 could be released together with Uncharted late 2007, IF not Sony promise to match or surpass that target render i...
Short answer - DEPENDS on TASTE.
p.s. looks like, i need to expand my post:
1) xbox and GC could provide better graphics than PS2, so WHAT? It`s about fun and visuals. And visuals(design+art) matter more, they help to get better into game`s atmosphere. God of War 2 FTW! =)
2) x360 already over 3 years on the market and looks like on 4th year we won`t see anything graphically impressive as some PS3 exclusives. If it`s so easy to develop on, then whe...
It would be very NICE to not have those 1-3 sec loadings during some check points in single player. =)
It`s not going to change anything. How this is related to GAMING?
PS3 already matched PS2 success in getting every year many AMAZING games.
That`s all about what GAMER should care. =)
Though, Killzone 2 is also was released in EUROPE - Sony land.
Killzone 2 already sold over 1 mln. copies WW. Over 700k online players prove that.
Anyway, Uncharted in USA during 2 weeks from it`s launch in November 2007 did only around 120k, BUT today(after 1,5 year) Uncharted is on the way to 3 mln. WW.
But TROLLS will use ANY opportunity to troll on PS3 and PS3 games. They just FAIL at life.
It would be very STUPID for a gamer to miss all those G...
