Predictions for PS3 vs 360

Just thought I would throw this out there:

Will PlayStation 3 Outsell Xbox 360? Sumner Lemon, IDG News Service

Last week\'s announcement that Sony Computer Entertainment will delay the introduction of its PlayStation 3 game console was seen by many as a chance for Microsoft to consolidate its early lead in the next-generation console market. However, the delay of the PlayStation 3 is unlikely to hurt Sony in the long run, according to analyst firm In-Stat.


"Sony will continue its domination of the video [game] console market through 2010," In-Stat said.


The PlayStation 3 will account for slightly more than 50 percent of all next-generation console sales through 2010, extending Sony\'s domination of the game console market, In-Stat said.


Microsoft will take 28.6 percent of sales, while Nintendo\'s Revolution console will have a market share of 21.2 percent, it said.

Head Start

While the relatively early launch of the Xbox 360 will not threaten sales of the PlayStation 3, Microsoft\'s head start will give it an edge over Nintendo, In-Stat said.


Other factors that will boost Xbox 360 over the Revolution are its strong market position in North America and appeal to older gamers, it said.


Between now and 2010, 2006 is expected to be the slowest year for console sales, In-Stat said. Sales this year are expected to be around 25 million units. This figure will rise to about 39 million next year and hit 42 million the year after, In-Stat said.

will be like it always is:

PS3>>>>Xbox>>Revolution

IF the ps3 sticks to their word and releases it in november, they will demolish the crap out of the other sales. If they dont, theyll take a pretty big hit but probably still sell the best by a lot

If MS can\'t increase Xbox 360 production, the Revolution might outsell it. Nevermind the PS3.

Well, well.  I\'m pretty sure everyone in touch with the industry could tell you thats the way it\'s going to go down.

I\'m really looking forward to the BLU-Ray playback.  Even though I do watch HD movies all the time on the projector from HD channels at the moment,  I can\'t wait to show off blu-ray movies to friends...It will be like when DVD first came out,  and I\'ll have the bragging rights of being part of the 1% of people who have it.  ...funny how people use to brag about having a DVD player lol

I hope its Revolution>XBOX360 because Nintendo is one of those old classic companies facing unfair competition and Nintendo must not end up like Sega

I was thinking this too.  I can\'t imagine games without a Nintendo console and a Mario game.  Thats all I\'ve ever known.

i\'d like to see 360 in last place, and microsoft leave the markey

primarily because thier !!!!!!!!!! fans are the fucking worst.

I\'m sure if Nintendo did stop making consoles, we will still see Mario games....on Xbox or PlayStation. I don\'t want to see that though. It won\'t be the same

Well it means you won\'t have to pay an extra $200 to play classic remakes

i dont think nintendo will go out of business. They did fine with the gamecube..id expect them to do the same. Always be in third, not making as much money as sony and M$ but still making enough.

But i havent owned a nintendo console since super nes.

even in 3rd place last generation, nintendo was the most profitable

PS3 > XBOX360

But I think Revoultion will come out from nowhere and kill everything else. I didn\'t expect the DS to do as well as it has. But now, I think Nintendo\'s strategy of trying to rope nubs is going to make them win. Case in point, I was with one such nub when I went to go buy some leds for my pacer. On the way we passed a 360 kiosk and she was like "it doesn\'t look any different to Xbox". They really don\'t care about sub surface scattering, paralax texturing or linear geometric bumpmapping or whatever. It\'s a safe wager that they\'ll care more about waving a remote control around so little yoshi can jump and shit.

PS3 may > Xbox360, but Revolution will > all.
Revolution > PS3 > Xbox360

have we even heard anything about the evolution? besides the gay idea for the controller?

everyone on here is saying the revolution is going to kick ass..i think u just want to be the one to say "I CALLED IT" if they manage to put a system better than the ps3 out.

like mm pointed out..they wont sell as well, but because theyre cheaper and probably costs nintendo less to make, theyll get their money.

Has nothing to do with being able to say that for me.  The only console I\'m buying at launch is going to be the revolution.  I may just be a Nintendo fanboy at heart still, but that\'s how it is.  It\'s the only one I\'m excited about.

I predict the Phantom will slowly crawl it\'s way to #1 and stay there for several years.  PS3 will fall to last with Nintendo creeping up.  Xbox gets hot coffee mod and gets to be #1.

Who wants stock advice?
