He then went on to outline data on marketshare, bringing an end to the intriguing presentation. For present-gen consoles, the Xbox is at 25%, the PlayStation 2 at 56%, and the Gamecube at a 19% marketshare, according to IDG. Think about these stats. If the original xbox had half of the ps2's market share....does that mean the xbox sold 50 million units? Or does that mean that the ps2 only has 50 million working units? Interesting huh? I wonder which it is.
One Thing the annalyst aren't taking into consideration is if you have the market lead for the first 2 to 3 years...developers will choose your system and top games draw more people. So 360's market share will only increase due to more games, price drops, ect....They aren't taking that into consideration. But its nice to see annalyst budge from their initial opinion that ps3 was going to outsell the xbox 360...They finally admitted half of what will really happen...Yes 360 will lead but the...
Its a mixed bag in my opinion. I personlly loved it. Yes its multiplayer but not Co op. Team death match, Ranked, ect...if you are looking for an aracade flight game like warhawk for the ps3...you will not be happy with it. Its more of a sim first...acrcade second type of game. And it runs best on 1080i rather than 720p. You get to take off from ground and ships...you have to land...and I crashed a few times before I mastered landing those powerful jets...I loved it. And the graphics ...
The PlayStation 3 might not be ready for large-scale production until the end of July or early August, according to analyst P.J. McNealy. He also predicts that the PS3's complex inner workings may mean that console won't be widely available until 2007.
The PS3's complex Cell chip might make for a frustrating manufacturing process

Grand Tourismo 4 came out 3 months after Halo 2. What are you talking about? Your telling me Halo 2 sold 6 million in the USA and GT4 sold 2 million in the USA. And the 4 million difference is 3 months? lol...Why can't you see the obvious. Repeat after me..."Halo 2 has sold the most games out of ANY game over the last 2 years. Halo 2 launched Nov. 2004 and Gt4 launched Feb. 2005. Dec, Jan, is two months seperating them. Ps2 sold 103 million systems but yet there most recent large...
November 2004 Halo 2 hits the market...Febuary 2005 Grand Tourismo hits the market. 3 month difference. But Halo 2 sells 8 million worldwide and Grand Tourismo sells 6.5 million world wide...Which first party game has sold the most? lol...Halo 2 remains in the top 10 of games sold even now.

Well it tells me that Grand tourismo is falling as far as support goes. It tells me that Halo is growing larger with support. Most people buy sy...
Not a system seller? hmmm...Anytime a game breaks the million sold threshold its considered a system seller.
I am getting a ps3. I'm not excited about it. But I am a buyaholic. I buy everything. I bought an HD dvd player and I buy every doo dad I can get my hands on. I love games. BUT....I'm honest. I'm well informed when it comes to the gaming industry. I'm not blindly loyal to one company. I just play games. By the way....My gamer tag on xbox live is KobeBryantLaker I have 6 gamer tags but thats the one I use the most. And yes I have a ps2, ps1, dreamcast, xbox, computers, labtops, 4 c...
You are lying again. here is the link. Why do you lie? You are not answering my question. I was talking about USA Sales. 2 million copies in the USA. Halo 2 has sold 6 million in the USA only. lol....Now...worldwide...Halo 2 has sold more than any game for any system in the last 2 years. PERIOD.
Halo 2 has sold just under 8 million world wide and still in the top 10 sellers every month.

Many of those games are million sellers plus. By any standards if your game sells a million copies its a success. You say mediocre as if you are someone important. You aren't a developer or an editor for gaming. You are a kid trying to make points with NO LINKS. lol...
You never did comment on your lies about Grand Tourismo and Halo 2. I posted facts and you posted lies. lol...Busted lying again.
Whats your thoughts on the ps2 having 103 million console out there...
This just says it all: the once mighty Sony...
Sony shares have lost nearly half their value over the last five years. On Thursday, the stock rose 3.6 percent to 4,940 yen ($43).
One shareholder, who identified herself only by her surname Kasahara, said she bought Sony shares at 14,000 yen ($120).
"I bought shares in mighty Sony," she said, stressing her unhappiness about their plunge. "What are you going to do about this?" she asked, dr...
A genious you are not. lol...you said "okay the ps2 doens't have better graphics than the 360"...lol...No way...lol....The xbox had better graphics than the ps2...I mean dayum...the dreamcast had better graphics than the ps2....I mean a 5 year old out dated computer has better graphics than a ps2....Better graphics doesn't equivilate into console sales. that was my point. Gameboy sold more than the ps2. But gameboy don't have better graphics...its just cheaper. Cost plays a big ...
What do you think of the PS3's Cell architecture? How much harder is it for developers to write asymmetric multiprocessing code that will run on the PPE and the SPE's? How difficult will it be to port code that is tuned for the Cell over to the 360 while maintaining good performance? Do you think Sony made the architecture complex deliberately to make porting that way harder, or were they just trying to get maximum performance out of their system?
I don't think the Cell is as well ...
Yeah because thats what the annalyst aren't taking into consideration. Thats why the first to sell 10 million units always wins the console race. Because Developers see a 10 million gamer base and dollar signs show in their eyes. It draws developers. Which in return means more games....which in return means more attractive to gamers. Its really common sense...So yes...its good to hear annalyst retract on their intial thoughts of how the console wars will pan out. But they only have it h...
