Microsoft will have another console out by 2012 I bet, so I doubt we can predict the PS3 coming out on top before we at least get within 2-3 years to the time we're talking about. Especially since Activision might drop PS3 coverage (even though it's unlikely) and Ubisoft seems to be doing something weird with Splinter Cell: Conviction. I don't think we can really predict about a time this far out.

Of course, the PS3 could have a price cut, and Sony might help 3rd party developers with a better dev kit. Who knows?
And manna will fall from heaven, the devil will institute a refund policy, and the Bushes will apologize for gunking up the country.

Ya I don't trust statistics made in the present you actually think I'm gonna trust this. Sorry nope, I'll believe it when I see it.
I could go into more detail on why I'm very sceptical but I'm too tired and lazy to bother.

Yep. I knew it. Analysts say the 360 will overtake the Wii, and everyone is behind them. Analysts predict the Ps3 will catch up in sales, and I'm suddenly swimming in a wash of doubt and fanboyistic laughter.

You people seem to keep forgetting that you shouldn't doubt someone's predictions for the future. But most are blinded by close mindedness and once again company bias, so this doesn't surprise me.

Oh, hey, Pachter again! Didn't he proclaim that the PS3 would come in first last year? Oh and he's still spouting nonsense about a Wii HD despite admitting that most Wii owners don't give a shit about HD graphics...

So the Wii is for the kiddies and super-casual gamers, the 360 is for eveveryone that wants to play a game, and the PS3 is for poeple that want to waste a whole bunch of money to watcha DVD? Ya right...

I've never met a single person that cared about Bluray, and I doubt I ever will.
I like bluray.

I should have noted that you have to be sane.

Because paying money to play your games online is sane? Or having to buy a wirless router cause Microsoft is too lazy to include built-in wireless capability? Sure I'm the crazy one, I mean atleast you guys have motion control that don't make you look like a bunny on PCP. Oh wait....

The PS3's price tag doesn't cover even half of that. I'm happy Microsoft let me pay for what I want instead of giving me things I might not give a crap about.

Let's not turn this into a flame war though. Plus, we both know there would be no outcome. Nobody will ever win the PS3 vs 360 war.

Jeez, there are a bunch of Sony-related threads these past couple of days, what gives? (ho ho, #2 Sony fanboy still complaining, how fitting ;) )

Alright, two responses to this, one fanboy one reasonable.

Fanboy side said:
Well of fucking COURSE the PS3 will win at least second place in the near future! (got to be humbled by the Wii's success at least...) Just this year and next we have and we're going to be seeing a bazillion and one awesome games coming out for it, Uncharted 2, InFamous, Killzone 2, Ratchet and Clank Future, Heavy Rain, God of War 3, White Knight Chronicles, The Last Guardian, Fat Princess, not to mention the freakin' PSP Go! with it releasing a bunch of games like Grand Turismo PSP and Resident Evil for it with Patapon 2 thrown in the mix you can't lose!

WOOOOOOOO!!! HAPPINESS!!
Reasonable side said:
Sounds reasonable
To all the people who are saying that new generations of consoles will be out by then, quite frankly I hope not. Right now it just seem really early to me, though 2015 is farther away than I might thing, though at the same time closer than I want it to be.

Lol I am sorry but by then the next next gen should be out. So Sony plans on not screwing it up next time? Or are they planning by then everyone will already have a 360 and have finally saved enough for a PS3?

I just painted a huge target on my back didn't I?
Yes, yes you did, personally I plan to enjoy watching you being attacked for this.

It could just be me (and the ten million other xbl gold members), but I kind of think that paying a tiny amount of money each month (like the price of getting fast food one less time a month) to play games online is sane. It's definitely not insane, to say the very least.

I'll take it that "wirless router" means "wireless network adapter for 360", and will respond as such. It's not laziness on microsoft's part so much as a realization that most people hardwire ethernets into their console to get a better connection than a wireless router typically gives a wireless card. I use wireless for my laptop only, and if I'm downloading something or using a connection dependent stream, I'll hardwire if at all possible. If there was a 360 with wireless capabilities for 20$ more, I probably would still choose the one without wireless, to save myself from paying for a useless feature (for me personally).

For your last point, I hate the natal. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I hate all motion control crap though, including the Wii and the PS3s magic wand things. If I could purchase the rights to motion controlled videogames, I would. Then I would never release those rights to any developer ever, and I would keep them till I died, then I'd put in my will someone who shared the same vision of the future as myself. A future where...people sit down with a controller in their hands, and play videogames.

Yeah, it will be second...from bottom of the list against the already well established next gens like the Nintendo Mii, and the X Box 720.

I dunno, Audi do one race and think that's good enough to know the car will win Le mans (and doesn't), then you got Sony with their tunnel vision thinking that the PS3 will still be a serious contender by 2015?

I hate to burst their ignorant bubble but I think the PS3 will be a long forgotten platform by then. Don't get me wrong I own a PS3, unfortunately they are shafting themselves by overpricing their product, they already screwed me over by $100 by bringing out the 80GB again almost right after I bought the 40 for the same price.
