i will go Bolder.
If there are no delays then ps3 could win 2008 and beyond and perhaps the console war.
However both wii and xbox 360 will do better than their predecessors
the 120 million ps2 base comprises of members who were part of the 100 million base of ps1.
We are humans and we have biases. These gamers have biases .
ps2 launched at 300$ .ps3 at 600$.
95% of the ps2 owners havent jumped into next gen .
Wii owners comprise mainly of senior citizens and underaged kids.
xbox 360 retained 80% of its past owners and will probably retain all of xbox's fanbase.
ps3 will do...
However ps3 could have been in a quagmire had it not been for Blu Ray victory
Had Blu Ray lost the next gen battle then ps3 would have easily lost the battle.
But after seeing the Blu Ray penetration in Japan especially i have a feeling that ps3 will completely turn around in Japan in 2008.
remember also that ps3 gave wii some shivers in 2007 and went on to beat it on some occasions in Japan.
I completely agree with the article that ...
you are giving xboxers bad name.
ps3 is already around the lifetime sales of dreamcast (10 million)
Plus dont want to start an arguement but you do know who could possibly own 2008 just like we knew who could win 2007 atleast in software sales.
why post flamebait comments and loose bubbles?
Gears of War, BioShock, Uncharted, Ratcher & Clank
:)
no fanboyism aside
"Furthermore, it is now clear that the game was initially developed for the PS3 and then ported to the 360. Occasional frame-rate issues are to blame. Loading times are also _a bit_ faster on the PS3.
Overall I have to say that - despite playing such masterpieces as Gears of War, BioShock, Uncharted, Ratcher & Clank and others - Devil May Cry is _the_ Next Gen game. If you really want to experience (probably) TRUE HD gaming, this is definitely the game you want to pla...
It has been on the Japanese most wanted list for the past year or so.
Some analysts are saying that it will sell a MILLION copies at launch in Japan.
I dont disagree cuz i have a lot of japanese friends who are waiting for this game
Its not advertising.
Its brand power.
Europeans love almost anything that is related with Japan/Sony. I know lot of french kids who didnt buy Halo3 despite liking the game. It is like a SONY bias or something.
It is a sadistic bias i must say. You kinda like something but you wont buy it since it is on a console you dont like??
French love Ipods though and american celebrities

UK gaming market ma...
even at 600$ ps3 is the second most selling console in europe after wii.
However ps3 beats wii in most of the european nations EVEN at that price.
Ps3 in reality actually trails wii by a very few thousand units in Europe (please dont believe Vgchartz europe data)
I think if you combine french,uk,german and spain data then ps3 easily beats wii in europe.
xbox 360 will DEFINITELY do better than xbox in its lifetime (5m+ already. xbox 3...
Vgchartz hasnt adjusted their Na data
It is around 900,000 with updated Canadian data

VG is off on Uncharted's Na sales by 80,000 copies
If SONY decides to launch both Resistance 2 and killzone 2 in Fall then Gears wont be released in 2008.
However that could happen ONLY if HAZE becomes a hit in terms of sales and rankings ---which is not impossible but slightly unlikely since Haze's graphics recently looked underwhelming
Fable 2 has a niche audience who would always like that game and might purchase xbox 360 for that game.
Gears 2 would have moved consoles but i doubt whether Epic would even release the game in 2008 amidst Killzone 2/Resistance 2 and Haze.
A single AAA game cannot fight 3 AAA games. Ut3 on ps3 lost sales because it was released alongside Cod4 .
as you have seen ps3 owners did purchase games in december especially FPS but that was COD4 rather than o...
please take note of that
I think it will sell out in UK.
COD4 ps3 version is apparently completely sold out in UK
uncharted is climbing up in almost all of european charts!
Uncharted debuted at no 20 on the french charts initially.
I think Vgchartz are underreporting the european sales of Uncharted. They underreported Uncharted's US sales MASSIVELY.
They also underreported COD4 xbox 360 and Ps3 by 500,000 and 200,000 for the month of december.
Vgchartz have often been dead right with Hardware sales but their Software sales are way off

Ps3 managed to beat xbox 360 by 14,000 units last week in worldwide sales
I mean the full game
since a playable demo was there at GDC last year
so why not release that same demo on PSN store
But in anyform it is a MEGATON NEWS
BIGGEST game of 2008 comes to ps3 in the form of demo even at the beginning of 2008
awesome
omg so excited!!
2008 kicks off with a bang with Dmc4,burnout and now the MEGA MGS4 DEMO!!!!
well the BD victory is what makes the ps3 more attractive.
It is like saying " I own a console that has the WINNING next gen format "
ofcourse ps3 has arguably the best lineup of games for 2008 but do take into account that many people are actually converting to next gen DVDs esp in Japan and europe.
All of a sudden the BD drive in ps3 is looking a crowned jewel
