[QUOTE="ToScA-"][QUOTE="ogvampire"][QUOTE="ToScA-"][QUOTE="Swift_Boss_A"]Wait didn't Pachter predict 360 to outsell PS3 by 50k or something ? Damn it Pachter I trusted you :cry:
ogvampire
Through time, he has predicted a lot of things and he has successfully been wrong a lot of times.
actually, out of all the videogame analysts, he is right more often than any of the others
there was an article on Joystiq about this...
Being less wrong than others hardly justifies him often being wrong, or does it? :P
in the deadly game of videogame analyzation, being less wrong is the difference between 'Pwnage' and getting 'Pwned' :P
lol! Nice :)
[QUOTE="patrickjw333"][QUOTE="MikeE21286"][QUOTE="ToScA-"]I'd be tremendously surprised if it didn't.

me too.....I can't really think of any games PS3 has in August and I know that 360 has Too Human, which has a ton of pre-orders already.
yea by people who already have the systyem. that game is in no way shape or form a system seller
:( Im buying a 360 for Too Human
the 360 has soo many good games and u waited for too human to jump in...what the Hell Buddy.Wow.. the PS3 has outsold the 360 again for like the 5th time this year.. :o
I'm actually surprised by this... The aftermath of MGS4 must be paying off and or the bluray factor is kicking in.. either way M$ can't be too happy about this... It's still doing nicely on the software front though... VERY surprising that a RTS game for a console made the top ten..

Stealing someone's else work and passing it off as your own without giving credit? Classy.

the 360 has soo many good games and u waited for too human to jump in...what the Hell Buddy.I would have gotten one sooner, but I don't have a job so it takes time for me to get money and I also have a hard time holding on to enough money to save. There's just something about Too Human that got me interested and made me decide to start saving.

It's been effect for quite awhile. That's why people keep saying it.

You mean the $50 drop? Safe to say we all knew that wasn't going to make much of a difference, get back to me with September's numbers if you want to ridicule price drop effects. (@ emperor)[QUOTE="Zhengi"]Wow, 360 did poorly even with the price drop. MS is in trouble.hopesfall2ownWhy the HELL do people keep saying this? The price drop isn't even in effect yet!
Because the 360 20GB console received a price drop to $300 to make way for the 360 60GB version?

I think it's safe to say Pachter, VGChartz, and some but not all lemmings on this board thought it was going to make a huge difference. September will be fun for sure though :)

Meh..if PS3 sales continue to dominate box sales, you will see those numbers change also.
Looks like MGS4 failed Sony... PS3 back on the declining sales once again. Wounder what August has in store for PS3.

Oh okay, my doubt is retracted. :P
So even with a price drop MS couldn't beat Sony.
Sony now just have to do a better job of holding on to their exclusives.
Maybe the 360 will get noticed more in Japan once all those JRPGs (Star Ocean 4, Infinite Undiscovery, Cry-on, etc.) are released.nervmeister
It'll probably create a bump in sales, but it's not going to be something long lasting. That's just what games do. It's quite possible that those JRPGs pull a GTAIV for the 360 in Japan.
I say this once again, The PS2 is fueled by the crushed dreams and potential of the Dreamcast.no_handlebars
The PS2 is fueled by the success of PS1, not on the devastation of another failed console.

So simply because it's an American system and nothing else, the 360 can never become more popular in Japan?[QUOTE="Zhengi"][QUOTE="nervmeister"]Maybe the 360 will get noticed more in Japan once all those JRPGs (Star Ocean 4, Infinite Undiscovery, Cry-on, etc.) are released.nervmeister

So simply because it's an American system and nothing else, the 360 can never become more popular in Japan?Well, traditionally, Japan always selects one console and go with it through the entire generation. 360 has already been out for almost 3 years and it's at approximtely 600k units sold. The Wii outsold the 360's lifetime to date on the first day it launched. There's just no way the 360 can become popular in Japan.
And this has nothing to do with the console being American made. The Xbox is just a bad name and MS can't market it properly. It is what it is.
