Apart from the price point, people seem to want Wii for Wii bowling, but I dont know about DS. Probably for the kiddy games.

Wii is winning because the Wii made itself a new market. Instead of fighting over the serious gamers market that Xbox 360 and PS3 are bitchslapping each other over, the Wii turned non-gamers like moms and kids into gamers and made their own market in addition to taking the gamers who would rather buy a cheap system that looks like novelty fun than a quality one. Very smart, but it still rubs by Sony Fangirl fur the wrong way =.= I wrote a paper on the console war this semester for Econ class. (>_<); *megadork*

In other things, YAY SONY! GOOD GOING! Keep it up ^^ More consoles sold => more games for us => more consoles sold for you => more games for us! The market proves it! @.@ It's good for everyone.

I like how you said it, but still the Wii, doesn't make as much compared to the other companies because of the prices.
We all know that PS3 is not selling as much total compared to the others, but I doubt the Wii's are making as much as the other two.
Then Microsoft also has to deal with the "red ring of death" and that alone costs MS lots of money.
Sony, all the people complain about "it has no good games." That's not true, it has plenty of good games, let alone games it self. It just doens't have any big name third party companies' titles out there because it is a year behind compared to the Xbox, and those games itself take a considerably longer time to produce. Wii doesn't count, because their games are easier to produce (since the Wii isn't a graphic powerhouse.)
So, I have no idea why people bother complaining about the ps3 so much.

Besides all that, hurray for PS3. Outsold the Deathbox 360. (refering to red ring of death)
I still wonder how the Wii really gets to parents. My parents are cold, and wouldn't touch a video game. They think it's disease ridden. But, I can see how some other parents that are more lax can be enticed by bowling wonders.
I commend you Wii.

Actually, Sony is (or at least was) selling PS3s at a serious loss because they were targeting the more permanent market of games rather than consoles. Smart move as long as they can survive, and something tells me Sony isn't going to go under from just the PS3 console.

I have no clue what kind of profit the Wii and Xbox are turning for their respective companies.

Wii is <3 by parents for fun games that they can play with their kids such as "Cooking with Mamma," my economy professor's favorite game to play with her children. This is YOUNGER children I'm talking about, obviously. ^^;

PS3 is also struggling to get developers to start producing, but they are. They cut prices on some development software right after their price shifts on the PS3 to try to pick up some development. No word on the effect of that yet though, although they're reporting better console sales (obviously XD) after the price cuts.

There's also the fact that Wii sales are still high like that a year later because they released few consoles into the market over the course of 2007 (some analysts said they lost over 1 billion dollars in potential sales).

And yes Liz, you are correct about the PS3 sales going at loss. (it costs US$800,00 to produce the standard 60gb model and they were sold for US$600,00 at start)
I don't know about the 40gb model, but I would assume it's sold at an even trade or just a small loss. The PS2 used to be sold at loss too, but it had a large game library that got the cash rolling in for Sony.
And no, Sony won't go down from the PS3 XP They are making a ton of money from other products including the PS2. Heck, their shares rose a bunch in the Japanese market this year too (whereas Nintendo has remained stagnated since November, when the PS3 sales started raising). Their loss from PS3 is reducing too with all the console sales and, consequently, games for these consoles. It should be a matter of time if they keep doing it right. ^^

its things like wii sports and brain training that attract the masses. you know, the kinda games that families will think they'll enjoy. posting from ps3 ftw.

Yes, Vinny is right, as far as I know. Sony is thinking farther into the future, to a point when current PS3 console sales will have determined how much of the game market Sony owns. As long as they can weather the storm, they're probably doing the smartest thing. Apparently the stock market goers think they can make it, and if people think they can make it, then they can make it, since making it depends on public support.

Sony has attracted a bunch of good-looking games that are slated to appear on PS3, so I have a feeling that all their market flailing has worked. ^_^

As for how much of a loss, I read that the cost of the blu-ray player parts that are used in the PS3 has dropped significantly due to the bigger external market for standalone players, meaning Sony can produce them cheaper, but at the same time, it's also making its systems cheaper... so I really can't say how much loss they're taking on now per console.

By the way, I'm Blank here. :P

[Hakimichi]

I guess people start to see good game are coming for PS3. specially the closes game release would be Devil May cry 4 this Feb 5 2008.

And by the way I was wondering, those who have PS3 , are all the current game is in blu-ray or there is DVD format?

[Fenristh]

Every PS3 game is on a Blu-Ray disc, yeah. :P

[Halfmetal]

Lucky week for PS3. <_< The Wii and the DS are still pwning them all, anyway, due to Nintendo's smart marketing tactics, innovating ideas and famous series, eg Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, ect.

[Lucrecia]

Yeah, the first one I had was a 20 GB and was already used. But I got a 40 on sale the other day and am happy with it. :D My dad gave the first one to my brother.

[Clone of Shadows]

Iv got the 40 GB one to. but they arnt compatible with PS2 games are they.
anyway i still kept the PS2 for that porpose.
also music cant be played in the middle of a game u r playing.

[Dream Machine]

Its sold marignally more then the Xbox360 for one week. That hardly means the PS3 has won anything.

The PS3 launched a full year after the 360, so just selling a little more for one week isnt gonna cut it. It has to sell a lot more over a long period to really do something. Also the attach rate (how many games bought per system) is a LOT higher on the 360 then the PS3 or the Wii. The Wii manages to sell each console for a profit though which the PS3 and Xbox360 can't do.

Now looking at the future, I cautiously predict good things for the PS3. I mean some very good games are coming out in 2008, the big system sellers and some intersting new IP's will be out. Also home which doesnt really interest me, but no-one can argue with the success of Second Life style outings.

The 360 had a very good year this year with some big titles like Mass Effect and such, however next years line-up excluding multiplats is pretty bland.

If Sony are smart, they'll exploit the explosion in worldwide PSP sells, touting new special features for PSP-PS3 connectivity that will intrest lots of users to the point they purchase a PS3. Also blow the trumpet with MGS4 advertising and such.

The future does look good for us PS3-gamers, how good it is for Sony depends on choices they make in 2008.

[Halfmetal]

I think it looks good for owners but not for Sony, becuase although the release of Final fantasy titles will help, they will never catch up with the 360 which already has a large number of excellent games.

Both however, will never catch up with the Wii, which I think will continue to beat them when they start releasing more games.

[Dark Vincent]

I'm cautious about the Wii success. Nintendo at first had a good strategy from a business view. However, they already missed over 1 billion dollars in potential sales for not releasing hardware enough on the market to attend the demand, which is stupid from a business view too.
Then there's the fact most Wii games released so far don't make good use of Wii's main premise, which is the Wiimote motion-sensing controller. My cousin for example was telling me how he hasn't played his Wii in weeks, it became "the visits' entertainment" now. He has Mario Galaxy, Zelda and Wii Sports and has played a few other games. According to him only Wii Sports made good use of the motion-sense, the others are just silly (I told him I thought that slashing stuff in Zelda would be pretty fun and he told me it's not like people say, you can move the controller in any direction and the animation looks the same, it's retarded). Now he is waiting for Super Smash Bros Brawl and according to him it'll be his make or break of the console, if it's not as good as he expects it to be he'll just sell it and buy himself a PS3.

He has more fun playing my PS3 than any of his current Wii games. And I only have one game and a bunch of demos atm lol

And he is not the only Wii owner I've heard stating these same things. Wii is a nice fad and is selling a ton of consoles, but I don't think it can be sustained for long. It reminds me of Stock Market bubbles/hypes, they eventually burst and all hell breaks loose

[Halfmetal]

My previous predictions may chnage, as I'm now going to start considering other things. I'll have a much more deatiled analysis later. Tommorrow perhaps.

[Halfmetal]

Sony have a strong plethora of titles coming out, many of which are exclusives. Also set to roll out properly in 08 is Home, which I think just might redefine what it means to have an online "party" of people and how simple it can be to get in and out of games whilst being awesome at killing time. Additionally, with Home, as Sony offers more and more tools to developers in the online space, the whole online system for PS3 will refine and reform; some of this can be seen with what's going on with UT3. Furthermore, if indeed Bluray movies continues to drastically outsell HD-DVDs at the current rate even, this coupled with the declining costs of blue laser diodes -and hence declining costs of the PS3, could mark the start of more and more market penetration through being a Bluray player. 2008 only looks good for Sony and I think it will see Sony take up a significantly larger market share.

Regarding Nintendo, someone remind, SSB aside, what strong 1st party games have been confirmed for 08? Either way, Nintendo will continue to sell a fuckton to the average consumer as the price drops and the hype train picks up speed. Nintendo have a different business model to the other two, making profit on the console rather through the retroactive [right word?] sales of games and with the fuckton of consoles being sold, regardless of software Nintendo are going to make money in 2008.

As for the 360, I think 2008 will be the year of decline for the 360. I'm going to put this down to two factors; Microsoft's crumbling 1st party and Microsoft's complacency in certain fields of the industry [Read: Online, Consumer Audience].
Ok, the first point is simple, in previous years MGS have put out PGR3, GoW, Viva Pinata, Crackdown, Forza 2, Halo 3 and Mass Effect. In 2008 the only AAA title they have announced is Fable 2, which is to start with a niche-esque game. Sure they have Too Human (a.k.a the game announced at E3 1999 as a 5 disc PS1 game, a.k.a the game which will never come out) and yeah they have Alan Wake but who here even knows what that is? And when was the last time anyone saw any fresh media for it? Exactly. As for the second point, I've already stated how I think PS3's online is to evolve and redefine certain aspects of online play, and whilst that free service is incessantly attempting to raise the bar, MS with it's cushy consumer base, not only fail to innovate but additionally take money for this lack of innovation. PS3 right from the start has been offering dedicated servers for all 1st party titles, whilst MS simply sit there doing nothing. What was the last true major addition to XBL? Aside from the Xbox---> 360 transition has there even been when since inception? MS simply refine, however, I don't think that will be enough to keep them at the top, however, there complacency will led to them believing it is. That's where MS will start to slip. As for the point about consumer audience; MS seem to think they have conquered the hardcore gamers, which in one respect is true, however, it seems they are now having a console midlife crisis as in they can't decide who their target audience actually is. On the one hand, as I said thy have a very strong hardcore install and user base. However, they have obviously seen and been tempted by Nintendo's casual success and are still attempting to hold up a casual user base with the Arcade SKU and games such as Scene it! On top of this, MS are still trying to hold up a less mature audience; Viva Pinata has a sequel coming, with each dash update it seems more and more of the features are geared towards MS telling the consumer that the 360 is a Family console [See: Parental Timer, Controls]. And ontop of these two audiences rumors are starting again that at CES 08 MS are to debut the 360 DVR with the IPTV capabilities that were shown off at CES 2007. Dubbed "360 Media Edition" Tivo-esque software out of the box, massive hard drive built in HD-DVD drive, the works. However, with each extra target audience which MS attempts to cater to, the more of a split they create in their install base and this leads to problem [See: Rockstar devs problem; GTA IV experience w/HDD against w/out/HDD] and this non-committal approach will in my mind lead to MS attempting to averagely hold up 4 markets whereas they should be perfecting and innovating one.

Phew; in summary, 2008 is in my mind the year of Wii and PS3 with the 360 facing big problems.

[Ringlets]

People crazily assume that because the 360 came out first and got a head start that somehow its better. When the ps3 came out, it had 360 fanboys to face, and its price didnt help. But as people slowly come to realise its better, the sales go up and as we see here, go over the 360s. They'll both level out soon, with 360 and Wii having average sales but the ps3 maintaining the "came out recently" feel.

[Thimien]

the way i see it...

PS3 is the console that will rule the gaming industrie for another 7 years at least, untill they invent another better one, couse right it is the best.

The sales now are starting to reflect how people are bigining to realise what a PS3 really is.. if i dont dare compare PS3 with a funny gimmick called Wii, meaning its fun, but not allways fun, people get tired of it really fast youl see. Reason why it sold was becouse of how deferent it is, and how familie orientated it has become, but its no real gaming console, and can not even compare with a PS3.

Has for the Xbox360... i dont normaly even type about it, may it RIP as this year unfolds.. and hell i know alot of people who regret buying that damn console, the amount of bugs on it... ok im not gona go into ditale... its just plain shit made by microsoft, and will never be as good as a PS3.

Really i could be more ditaled about all this, but really there is no point, its not becouse of FF13, or KH3 at some point, or DMC4, GOW3...MGS4...GT5... that makes PS3 the best console, becouse these game arent even out, the reason why its good is becouse of what it carries inside, its potental, and plus all does games i meantioned on top, since they aint going on Xbox, it can only mean one thing.

Hallo 3 i give you that, wich to me just proves that multiplatforming a game makes it crap, thats why Hallo3 is good, and thats Why FF13 is gona be amazing.

Im out.. a bebey now

[Thimien]

one thing to add, to make 1 PS3 unit, probably twice as more than the starting price asked when it was releaced.
Normaly what is priced high ends up beeing good, you go to a restaurant u order best part of beef its more xpencive, you order best wine, its more xpencive... you wantr the best console.... its more expencive...

Just go and check how much are just the blueray players on their own, and tell me if the PS3 is over priced.

Bebey then

[BlankChocobo]

Regarding Nintendo, someone remind, SSB aside, what strong 1st party games have been confirmed for 08? Either way, Nintendo will continue to sell a fuckton to the average consumer as the price drops and the hype train picks up speed. Nintendo have a different business model to the other two, making profit on the console rather through the retroactive [right word?] sales of games and with the fuckton of consoles being sold, regardless of software Nintendo are going to make money in 2008.

Personally, I think it's too late for the hype train to pick up speed. Nintendo is either artificially maintaining a level of demand by shipping consoles out too slowly or they actually cannot make Wiis fast enough, and either way they're bleeding customers for it. Since customers, most especially casual gamers, tend to buy one system and stick with it, I think Nintendo will find the potential buyers in their customer base is drying up faster than 360's or the PS3's. Maybe this is why they're being so slow about releasing consoles.. Unless Nintendo thinks a new generation of consoles will come out within a couple years, I think focusing on console sales is unwise overall. For 2008? They may make money because of their slow strategy, but I agree with Vinny that things have happened to make that strategy hurt them a bit. I don't think they're making as much as they thought they would when they decided how many to produce.

Nintendo making a profit off of selling lots of consoles and not so many games is not making developers happy, I think. If your game isn't going to be bought for a system, what's the point in making it for that system regardless of its popularity? I think the Wii's prospects for getting more great games are not so good, since as a "party system," a famous title doesn't matter so much, and first-time system owners who were attracted by the Wii's simplicity and low price probably don't care so much. But that does mean that the Wii can't use big titles so easily to tempt the old guard of gaming away from their fanboy-favorite systems.

[Devious]

The PS2 outsold the PS3?

[Dark Vincent]

Nice analysis and speculations ^^ And one thing I would like to add is that now with the HD Format War tide turning to Sony's favor and cost production for Blu-Ray devices and discs lowering, that means the loss per PS3 manufactured is going to lower as well. That means either:
A) We can see the PS3's cost lowering even more later this year, by just a little bit more.
B) Sony won't lose that much anymore on console production and may even, in some years, start selling for profit.

All in all, good prospects for Sony and the PS3 in 2008. As for the Wii, it's like I said in my post and I agree with what Blank said that Nintendo is basically maintaining an artifical demand by releasing their hardware slowly. Besides SSB I see no other big Wii title coming out either. As usual, Nintendo is counting on themselves only for software production because third-party developers just don't seem to profit off their systems since the 16-bit era. That's bad...

Oh and Rev, yes the PS2 still outsells the PS3 (and many other systems lol). ^^'

[Allen Walker]

Oh and Rev, yes the PS2 still outsells the PS3 (and many other systems lol).

PS2 - 129.99
PS3 - 399.99 or 499.99

I'll let you figure that out :cookie:

PS2 - 129.99
PS3 - 399.99 or 499.99

I'll let you figure that out :cookie:
Since when was the PS2 129? It was sold for $99 last time I went to the US.

But the PS3 is so much better! D: And they're making less games for the PS2 now.

[Allen Walker]

ut the PS3 is so much better! D: And they're making less games for the PS2 now.But there are more games on the PS2 than the PS3 D; (not to mention, they're better)

[Hakimichi]

But there are more games on the PS2 than the PS3 D; (not to mention, they're better)

well you do have to give PS3 time,
and I do believe that because PS2 is still being own by many people.
the market and demand is still there.
not to mention that PS3 can play PS2 game also.
so basically more chance of high sales.

And I think producing PS2 games is much cheaper then PS3
as the blu-ray disk is more expensive then DVD.

[Vidya]

This is just me making a slight suggestion on the future of Playstation 3 sales...I may be a complete idiot with what am I saying, but meh.

Anyways, this Christmas my mom and I received a PS3 as a gift from my Grandparents. My Mom wanted a Blu-Ray player for Christmas, and I wanted the Playstation 3, so it's been pretty much a win-win situation for the both of us. I wonder if the PS3 in the future will have similar affects. Warner Bros. just announced that all HD format DVDs will be put on Blu-Ray for now on. And other companies following through on this as well, right?

My point is that families may start buying the PS3, and parents not seeing the PS3 just as a gift for their kids. As the Blu-Ray becomes more and more popular, buying a PS3 for a mixture of a video game console and for the Blu-Ray may help out alot in sales in the future. I think it does right now, but I wouldn't be surprised as Blu-Ray becomes more popular and release dates for games on the PS3 looms closer.

[Thimien]

Sais..

"Sales of Sony's PlayStation 3 consoles topped 1.2million in the US alone over Christmas, the company said yesterday. The figures gave Sony the upper hand in the emerging high-quality DVD market because the machines can also be used to play the company's Blu-ray discs. Warner Bros, previously a supporter of Toshiba's HD DVD format, has switched it allegiance to Blu-ray.
But Nintendo's Wii console was the hottest product in Japan in December, where it outsold PS3 by more than three to one."

Now all his makes me think even more that, Nintendo is a one hit wanther... how cheap did it get at Christmas,... say you were a perant, in the 30 to 40 generation, and your kids wanted a console what would you buy?? a Wii anyday... but just like any toy, they will get tired of it... I think in the USA people most likely realised how stupid it was to spend 500dollars + on an Xbox360, and decided to buy a PS3 finaly.

PS: i laughed when i saw the 1st "Dead or Alive" on 360, was thinking... that Soul Calibour on PS2 was just amazing compared to that crap.
Anyways, lets just sit down and wait for 2008 to show us whats coming.

Thim :)

[Halfmetal]

Wait a minute, I don't see why the Wii will suffer?

[Fenristh]

Because it's bullshit :aldo: People are only buying it for Wii sports, it'll die out soon I reckon. :aldo:

[Halfmetal]

Oh per-lease. It has more great games than that.

[Allen Walker]

Oh per-lease. It has more great games than that.

Seconded


Metroid Prime 3
Super Mario Galaxy
Zelda: TP
SSBB

future stuff.....

[Ringlets]

Yes those are games that the gamer side of Wii users like. The main Wii sales have come from families buying them thinking its a healthy approach to video games and then use Wii Sports once over Christmas and thats it.

[Halfmetal]

I disagree. Even non gamers buy plenty of games for their console to keep them happy.

And then get pissed no other game besides Sports use the motion sense widely. No matter how you try to slice it, the Wii is a lie. Non-gamers who purchased it have been playing Wii Sports since launch because that's really the only game that makes the best use of the Wii's premise. Some users got tired, some play it once a month.
That and, as I mentioned before, the only "decent/good" titles for the gamer users of the Nintendo Wii come from... Nintendo itself. One company can't keep up with the demand for good titles from such a large userbase. It's the same thing that happened with the N64.

The hype won't pick up anymore, but we'll see what Nintendo will do about it.

Im afraid those games look absolutely shit to me.I thought the same XD With the exception of Super Smash Bros all others just fail :|

EDIT: Oh yeah, and the Wii has Nights 2, the only thing I would want from them.

You phail if you cannot like MP3.

[Fenristh]

Metroid Prime has been shit since I played it on the Gameboy. :lol:

[Dark Vincent]

I never liked Metroid.

[Allen Walker]

Metroid Prime is FPS. :rolleyes: I choose it over any FPS anyday.

And about Super Mario galaxy, its fun to play and all that but its nowhere near as great as its been hyped.

It is good Dante.:nag:

And it an an Adventure/FPS.:rolleyes:

[Fenristh]

I don't care, it looks terrible. Killzone 2 plox :aldo:

[Thimien]

Honestly Wii.. what is it??

Better yet Nintendo... all their games are eather family orientated like Wii Sports, or games that everybody can play without reading a manual.. besides does few games like Zelda, probably the only game worth playing to me, all the rest like Marios, and Sports and metroid theres nothing there.. jump shoot, swing etc... its a gimmick console... intertains you for a few days till all your friends have come round seen what it is, and becomes repete of it self... not saying old games like Super mario were not fun, but you cant compare Wii games to a PS3... It is a one hit wounder... not going to last that long... even lil kids from 12+ will get bored of it... and go to a PS3 for intertainment... "Like you have never experienced before" PS3 Slogan lol

[Halfmetal]

The thing is, is that you've been saying that for more than a year now. A pretty long time for a supposedly 'one hit wonder'.

[Allen Walker]

I'm sensing a bit of fanboyism in here :rolleyes:

[Interficio Nocte]

I'm sensing a bit of fanboyism in here :rolleyes:

Wow, I wonder why.:cookie:

[Halfmetal]

*Sigh*, No I'm not a fanboy. I don't own a Wii. Just becuase I make a positive point about a console other than the PS3, does not automatically make me a fanboy, alright?

You can tell a fanboy when he complements only one console he happens to own and thinks the rest are utter shite.

[Fenristh]

No, fanboys make up facts and bullshit about other consoles. People can like one and think the others are shit without being a fanboy. I love my PS3, I think the Wii is as good as a sack of shit, I also thing the Xbox 360 as a console is horrible (having to buy extra parts, RROD etc), but I'm going to buy a 360 eventually for it's good looking exclusive titles.

People can like what they want. It's when they start making up facts is when they need to shut the fuck up :aldo:

[Dark Vincent]

PS3 rocks, 360 and Wii are utter shit

EDIT: Damnit Dante!

I suppose you have a point. Fanboys usually make up facts. But you can also tell when most of their so called facts are actually just opinions.

[Allen Walker]

All systems have their pros and cons.

Why cant we just have all the systems and be a 'gamer' ?

[Interficio Nocte]

Why cant we just have all the systems and be a 'gamer' ?

Because that makes too much sense.

[Fenristh]

Not everyone can afford it and not everyone wants to play games they think are shit... :blink:

[Dark Vincent]

Because that would involve lots of money (and time) 8D~ Though yes, if I could, oh damn I so would. Even the Wii has at least 1 game I want (Nights 2)

[Princess Kairi]

NiGHTS Journey of dreams is freaking awesome. I HIGHLY reccomend it. ^_^
Anyway, PS3 is selling pretty good, that's cool.
*unleashes the nintendo fangirl inside*
FUCK YES THE WII IS TAKING OVER!! GO NINTEDO! GO NINTENDO! WOOHOO GO WII!! *dances*
lol okay... *get's beat-up by ps3 and xbox 360 fanboys/fangirls* X_______________x

[Halfmetal]

You've had more excercise due to the Wii. You should be able to run away.

[Fenristh]

If playing Mario on the Wii gives you a work out then Arnie got his muscles from wanking. :/

[Allen Walker]

Wii games are workouts? I wouldn't go that far.

[Halfmetal]

Geez, i was just joking. Just becaue I like serious discussions doesn't mean I'm always serious you know.:P

[Dark Vincent]

Man this reminds me I need to go back to gym, it's been 1 year since I stopped working out. I'm so out of shape :(
