PS3 Losing as much as ever - Page 2

Fact: Every console generation thus far has been won by the first console to sell 10 million units.

Whether that holds or not, as long as PS3 is outsold by the 360 2:1 on a month by month basis or even stays even with it, it will never catch the 360 and hence it loses.

I will concede your point that 360 had a monster library hits this holiday, which may in part count for these holiday numbers, and no doubt that when some PS3 exclusives hit you will see PS3 sales likely overtake 360 for a month or two, but in the end 2 years of market data does not support a conclusion that the PS3 will ever start out selling the 360 to a point were the PS3 will overtake the 360 in overall hardware sales.

Yeah 360 got a year and 5 million unit head start, but hardware sales fluctuations tied to console exclusives just are not enough to overcome the lead the 360 has, even more so when the 360 kills it 2:1 in this years holiday sales, and its not like 360 aint gunna have nemore hardware moving titles to come either.

A few years back I asked my nephew if he wanted an original xbox for his birthday(my treat) he said no, he wanted a PS2 cuz thats what most of his friends had.......
If I asked him again today chances are he's gunna tell me a 360 cuz more people have them....

yup those will all move some extra units to be sure, its just my opinion that its just not gunna be enough to catch the 360 or wii this year or in this generation.

So as it stands now, as is evident from what the thread title and the OP, Sony is losing.
Of course we can all have our opinions, and only time will tell who was right.
