Analyst: Sony Will Take Second by 2015

Sony: We win AFTER the race.
The PS3 = the PS3. Xbox had the "new guy" disadvantage, but it was still a great game console. They also really helped with getting consoles online. PS3 was just a loser to the other two, while last gen, the Xbox just had to catch up.DamienHell said:

I'm sorry its just I'm one of those people where if I've been getting something for free most of my life, and then you start charging me for it.... Well then you can sod off. Also I'm one of those people that kind of forced into getting wireless because I live in house where the xbox is on one floor and the router is on another. So unless I want to start drilling hole in my floors, (which would probably expose all those dead hookers I have hidden) I'm really forced to buy one of these wireless widgets. My only real complaint about it is that its too expensive. I mean cmon I paid 90 bucks for a used one, I'd hate to see the pricing for a new one. Microsoft just seems to be leeching every cent out of their consumers that they can, hell, I would even pay for a gold account if it actually gave me something extra like some free dlc maps or something to that nature. But all having a gold account does is let you fully enjoy your games (then again I'm a multiplayer junkie) so why should I have to pay 60 bucks then some more hidden fees just play the games that I already payed for?Unholykrumpet said:
Dude the Wii is now the fastest selling console in history breaking the 50 million unit mark faster than the PS2 by 8 months.Davey Woo said:

Ahhhh internet fanboyism.... it never gets old.
I love how people keep saying the next systems will be out in '11/'12. You don't have a clue when the next systems will hit the market. It seems to me that both MS and Sony are pretty comitted to expanding their current systems instead of pushing the latest hardware. Think about it, with Natal coming out next year, would MS really cut themselves off from potential buyers by announcing the 720?
And at the end of the day, when both systems will have a 40-50 million installed userbase, no one is a loser.
Except for you fucktards who keep arguing over which system is better.

There may be a winner between the 360 and PS3, but to be honest, it's going to be so close, that you could hardly call either the loser. I would actually like to see a new Xbox way before then, just so we can all keep up with the PC crowd, which in two years, if the past is anything to go by, will have rendered the PS3 to looking like a Sega Saturn in comparision. These ten year life cycles simply won't work, especially for Microsoft, who don't seem to be too interested in prolonging the life of the old console once the new comes along. I'm also betting the Wii will see its replacement in the next couple of years, when the current family gaming thing has fully died down and its needs to cater for the more devoted gamer are once again rendered. As for the PS3, I think Sony would be wise to consider making plans pre-2015 for a new iteration of the Playstation, but only time will tell, as no one really knows what can happen in the next six years; what games will come out, and just how important is blu ray to everyone? Will Natal and the PS3 motion controller work and be popular? There are too many factors to consider. Put it this way; back in 2005, who would have predicted that nintendo would go from 3rd to 1st? I bloody didn't.
Pretty sure the new consoles will be out by then...

PS3 is a good blu-ray player, it's not too expensive, and I've heard you get a free games console built in!
Also, I own a PSP (yes, I know, -bad- idea) and the PSP-GO is a big 'fuck-off' to me, cos it make my UMD's totally and utterly useless now (execpt that half of them are broke anyway! grrr)

Yes but the ps2 was on sale for almost a decade so see what the Wii sells at end of its life should be curious.Khell_Sennet said:
Well in the uk if get a rrod just walk upto the place you bought from and say can I have a new one and hay presto you get a new one.Donnyp said:
There isn't anything fanboyish about owning a PS3 and yet being a little bit miffed they asked for $399 when i bought the 40GB, and two months later the 80Gb is the same price, other than that system has run great, I'm eventually going to switch the drive out for something much larger...Besides I'm more of a PC gamerFloodOne said:
I made up both the Mii and the 720 (2x360 is 720, hey if M$ are going to call the 7th gen of Windows "Windows 7" then it stands to reason they will use basic math to create 720), but Nintendo have mentioned (or it was leaked, if you can call a news snippet a leak) in recent months that they are working on the next gen set for around 2011-12.
Natal is a gimmick, like Yahtzee said, your not going to dress up in a ping pong suit and wave yourself around like a manic airport runway controller on speed, since it's the opposite of relaxing after work (unless you don't work of course, then this is called exercise).
Ah I miss home for that very reason, so much damn easier in the UK to get things replaced or exchanged...well apart from the government, I don't miss 17.5% tax on everything.murphy7801 said:
Yes the PS3 is technologically ahead of the current competitors, but I can't see it being the top system or even 2nd best by 2015, PS2 was king of the hill for 7 years before the next gen came out, stands to reason that we'll see the next gen in the next five or six as well, or in M$, and Nintendo's case the next three.
The UK you get a fair amount to of consumer rights though some companies do try to rip you off.Donnyp said:
