Sony & Nintendo Will Tie In Hardware Race Says SCEE >

	2008/08/11 8:54:20: Posted by DM
	Speaking at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival this morning, former SCEE president Chris Deering predicted that Sony and Nintendo will tie in the coveted hardware sales race by 2011. He said the Xbox360 will grow "decently," but not enough to equal the other two. "This is not necessarily because I've got some issues with Xbox 360 in Continental European countries et cetera, but because of the set-top box hi-def phenomenon." >Link

Sounds about right to me.

Right alongside 4D, yup sounds about right.

don't know about that...

blacktiger it could definitely happen if Sony plays its cards right. I mean...MS last place is a definite. It's basically can Sony catch up to the awesomeness of the Wii saleswise.

The wii phenomenon will not last that long , lets be honest , after that Nintendo Bros game , what else do have to make people buy their console??? - Nothing!!!

Give nintendo one more Christmas ,and their are out of the "game".

That will leave Sony In the Pole position of videogaming!

XbOX360 No longuer have anything decent coming out , so espect it to go down as well.

@@@@@ Krogan

Please , stop typing you make this website look bad.

Tecno_Geek: What the hell are you talking about?



"XbOX360 No longuer have anything decent coming out , so espect it to go down as well."

Okay first off im going to tell you that your an idiot for even "attempting" to bash the 360. Second please define "decent" in your words cause the way i see it the 360 actually has some good blockbuster hits coming out soon. If your not aware of them then here ill let you know, theres the ever so populare Fable 2 which will again change the way people make/play RPG forever, then theres Too Human which will be amazing, Mercenaries 2 again amazing, Left 4 Dead, Viva Piñata 2..not looking forward to it but there are alot who are, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Rock Band 2, Fallout 3, LEGO Batman, Dead Space, Saints Row 2, Far Cry 2, now im going to end with Alan Wake (even though i could keep going but ill end) because by now i REALLY hope your getting the hint.

Okay Tecno_Geek/Blacktiger now ill answer some of the questions that are probably running through your pea size brain,

Question 1:But The Ow In Wow8, some of those games you listed are multi-platform. So why are you adding them under blockbuster hits for the 360?

Answer to 1: Well Tecno_Geek/Blacktiger thats easy, its because look at games that are multi-platformed now. To give you an idea COD4, BF:BC and Soul Calibur 4. Those are some pretty big games and look how well they are doing on the 360 rather then the PS3...its cause games that come out for the PS3 as well as the 360 are better on the 360, and i use the word 'better' because i have friends that own both systems and they are very VERY picky about there games.

Question 2: Some of those games you listed aren't coming out for awhile, so why did you list them?

Answer to 2: well ill answer it by asking you a question. If this was turned around, As a PS3 "Delusional" fan, wouldn't you name games that are coming out later?

Ill stop with the question's now..only because your an idiot and im sure you really weren't think about that stuff...but that could have been something someone was thinking.

Okay now back on topic, The 360 HAS games coming out even if they aren't "Exclusive". Multi-Platform games are just as good on the 360 as they are on the PS3 if not better...COD4 and BF:BC are an example of how the 360 is better.

Okay im out now for awhile so hurry and log in as Tecno_Geek post, log out...log in as Blacktiger and post again. Oh but make sure you use your sh!tty grammer and mispell all your words so no one knows its really you Blacktiger.

bla bla bla No one is bother to read your idiotic resposes The Ow In Wow8 AKA KROGAN.

You got serious mental issues , stop signing up with different alias already.

Woah woah woah fat ass...im not Krogan, im the guy that just told you off and made you look like a F*cking idiot. Your just mad cause you know everything i said was right, just say it..its okay.

The Ow In Wow8: LMAO.

This is very likely do to fact that ps3 does well all around the globe. The 360's strongest sales are north america but not japan. The european market seems to be leaning more towards the ps3 as well. Yes i think 360 will end up third. This is just my opinion so don't get all nuts on me guy's.

Kungfurabbit I agree,

so far they are competing with PS3 in North America so that's pretty much over,

we'll see this christmas.

BOTTOM LINE:

Playstation 3 has been available for TWO YEARS, and is STILL a VERY DISTANT LAST PLACE in terms of Worldwide Sales.

Playstation 3 has sold VERY POORLY WORLDWIDE, especially in North America!...and the PS3 has NOT sold well in Japan either.

The fact that this idiot guy claims the PS3 will catch up to the Wii in terms of sales CLEARLY SHOWS that this guy has NO IDEA what he is talking about!

Microsoft is SO CONFIDENT that they will MAINTAIN their BIG lead in terms of Worldwide Sales that they PUBLICLY said so at the 2008 E3!

Microsoft is normally a company that says "no comment," yet they felt SO CONFIDENT about the Xbox 360 sales advantage that they PUBLICLY rubbed Sony's face in the dirt by saying the Xbox 360 would MAINTAIN its BIG sales lead over the course of this entire hardware generation.

The OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of hardware sales are sold at price points of $199 and $149. Playstation 3 may never be able to reach the price of $199, and will DEFINITELY NEVER reach the price point of $149.

Xbox 360 is likely only a few weeks away from seeing the price point of $199 with the Arcade version of the hardware...this will be a key factor in many parts of the world, especially where high-speed Internet is not available. This will be an AUTOMATIC trump card for Xbox 360, because Xbox 360 is so much BETTER than PS3 for videogames and online features, and at HALF the price!



$299 is also a price point where sales generally increase significantly, and the Xbox 360 60GB Pro system costs that much, AND it comes with an additional controller or extra software when it is on sale. Xbox 360 DEFINITELY will keep it's BIG lead in worldwide hardware sales.



*

The FACT that the Playstation 3 will NEVER see price points of $149, and is AGES away from being at $199 means that the PS3 has ZERO chance of outselling the Xbox 360 in the long-term.

Over the course of time, we will see the Xbox 360 sales lead over the Playstation 3 EXPAND, because the Xbox 360 will reach key price points of $299, $199, and $149 much sooner than the Playstation 3...

plus, the Playstation 3 no longer has high-profile exclusive games like Final Fantasy 13. If you enjoy games from Square Enix, the system you NEED to own is the Xbox 360. Final Fantasy is on BOTH systems, but Infinite Undiscovery, Star Ocean, and Last Remnant will be exclusives for the Xbox 360!
