...but some guys think in a different way...

What do you consider early. Was there a actual release date for the PS3? What ever the case may be. PS3 might blow the XBOX out the water.

Well Ray... I dunno about blow them out of the water. But I would like to see a system actually worthy of being an Xbox competitor. Also I lust after a Armored Core on the graphics ability of the Xbox, and well From Software and Agetec are more Sony exclusive developers. Like if someone just ported over the Armored Core Engine, and simply gave it an Xbox capability Graphics makeover, then made it a MMORPG... hehe... ok I\'m getting carried away here. But OMG... AC3 would be badass on a broadband giant "Ravens Nest" or "Merc group" and you take missions and maybe other Pilots take the same mission, only to defend the target your after...            
I hope Sony comes out with the PS3 and give Xbox competition, cuz well face it, if Xbox has no REAL competitors, then its never gonna get better. You know Market Economy people, competition is always better for the consumer, or in this case the Gamer!

Hmmm, can I borrow your crystal ball mm?

You do not need any crystal ball...the guy above knows the future...ask him everything !

PS2\'s is on the wave of success right now, but I still feel that it can manage 2nd place in the US.

Maybe I\'m comparing apples to oranges, but the Genesis was beating the SNES in installed base for 3 years or so.. then the SNES stayed alive for 3 years longer and eventually blew the Genesis away overall. Then again, right now there are 3 competitors.. and PS2 has a much larger lead over Xbox/GCN than Genesis did over SNES.

Anyways, my money is on Nintendo for 2nd place.. but Xbox will be very close behind. Or maybe not, considering how the recent "AAA" Xbox games have turned out to be worse than expected.. *cough*

Maybe if Microsoft and company didn\'t hype their games up so much, they wouldn\'t disappoint so much.

hmm let me see the PS2 is selling faster than the PSX did over the same amount of time since launch.

and not only that

the PSX managed to see off

the Sega Saturn
The Nintendo 64
and the Dreamcast

Despite being seen as the weaker system....

 so yeah i guess that PS2 had already won the "CONSOLE WAR" before it even started..

You forget the Atari Jaguar.........


:hat:ScottyJ:hat:

I\'ll admit it, I\'m pretty much a Nintendo fan. I like a few games that the PS2 and Xbox have to offer, but I\'m satisfied with my GC and their upcoming line-up of games. I have been playing Nintendo for a while and I don\'t think I could stop myself from buying a Nintendo console (I don\'t have the time to play two consoles). As much as I would like Nintendo to be the sales leader, Sony has an insurmountable lead. Nintendo isn\'t screwing their fans over (them and their second-parties continue to make great games and I don\'t care how many other people play the system that I like), but they\'re definitely screwing themselves over. They don\'t seem to know how to make money. I think Nintendo will come in second (sales-wise) behind Sony with MS coming in at a close third. They have too many loyal fans, like me, to lose that bad.

BTW, please don\'t flame. You don\'t need a crystal ball to see that Sony will "win" in sales. It\'s really common sense.

sony will win the next round as well

ps1 - second best selling console of ALL time behind the atari 2600

ps2 - 28 million worldwide in under two years and growing exponentially?

after the satisfied user base of ps1 + ps2, the ps3 will be a guaranteed winner

aside from merely giving thier units away, they cant hope to beat sony

I don\'t think sony will run through next generation as they did this one. Especially if xbox sells continue to rise this generation and they grab 30% of the market.

PS2-55%
XBOX-30%
GCN-15%

I think xbox would be in prime shape next round to give sony a run for it\'s money. If the numbers come out like that which it looks like it may end up that way. I could even see nintendo losing 5% with the respons they have gotten so far this generation.

There never was a war.  It\'s just a marketing ploit.  Don\'t you people get it yet?

this is all just speculation about next generation, but i would say Microsoft would need to buy out some high-profile developers to win next time..
