PoLiX Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 Successful October sales encourage Sony' date=' but will Wii dominate holiday wish lists?[/b'] Sony is confident things will start picking for the PS3 this holiday, though one analyst begs to differ saying it will be yet another Wii Christmas. "The PlayStation 3 sold 121,000 units at retail for the month of October," Sony said in a statement immediately following the release of October sales data, which showed PS3 trailing Wii and 360 by a wide margin. "Sony expects a great deal of momentum moving forward this holiday and beyond with the availability of new PS3 hardware and pricing. Based on internal data, the company is already seeing a great spike in sales with a 192 percent lift for the PS3 over the past two weeks." Analyst Jesse Divnich, however, believes Wii will continue to dominate by a wide margin this holiday despite the recent PS3 price cut. "Although the gr!@#$%^&* may look greener on the other side, the market still questions Sony's ability to generate strong first-party sales -- a key factor to any console's success," he said.
X`terrania Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 ...I'll bite. The PS3 will win in the end eventually, SONY always seems to come out on top, besides the VHS and Betamax war (they almost did come out on top, though)
rootbear75 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) i am tempted to agree with youif Smash Bros would have come out on time instead of getting backed by 3 months, i would have had to say the Wii takes it guarenteed. but that is not the case anymore PS3s might only win because it doubles as a Blue-ray DVD playerAverage cost of a blue-ray DVD player is around 500-700 USD (Source: amazon.com) the cost of the ps3 starts at 599 USD.

Dav Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 in the UK the PS3 is making batter sales because there is a shortage of wiis http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7095976.stm

The PS3 will win in the end eventually, SONY always seems to come out on top, besides the VHS and Betamax war (they almost did come out on top, though) Always on top? You are stupid. Sony has (so far) lost every single format war it has ever been it. I love your argument (point being you have no reasoning whatsoever)
Incomplete Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 Ya I was about to say have you tried buying a Wii recently? Almost everywhere is out of stock, I had to go into 5 or 6 different shops in Lakeside (a shopping center) before I found one and even then the queue for them was horrible. If more Wiis are available then PS3 wouldn't stand a chance this Christmas. But the Wiis may already have beaten PS3 in sales which is why theyre out of stock everywhere.
rootbear75 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 the wii is out of stock again?! ROFL

I was more-or-less talking about the consoles, but nice job with the accusations.
