I'm calling it here. So many exclusives are coming out this coming year. It's crazy. Socom, LBP2, Last Guardian, Resistance 3, Uncharted 3. I think It will overtake 360 sales overall this coming year. What do you think?

Sony already did. With games. Unless you can pop sale numbers into your console and enjoy it.

My estimates are that either the gap is smaller now or the gap is equally large as last year. The gap was something like 3M I think.

I don't really care. All I know about 2011 so far is Sony is bringing the exclusive games and Microsoft is bringing GEOW 3 and Kinect games.

i could careless but what the hell i'll play along. sony has a chance to beat it but sells means nothing nowdays with bad games selling a lot because its part of a series or whatever reason and good games not selling much because they are not known about. but sony does seem to have a bit of good games coming out next year but it seems like all systems are having a good year next year

1- Some games will be delayed, i have no doubt.

2- It's not always about games, imo, the PS3 has better library (overall library) and yet the X360 isstill exceeding it in overall sales, may be slightly but still.

3- Marketing and price are also another important factor, MS markets stuff so much that they gave you the feeling" you need this product, you have to buy it".

4- I believe Sony doesn't care, they are profitable now, the PS3 is becoming neck to neck with the X360 on so many levels, things are just running the way they want, of course it would be great if they beat the x360, but it's not possible, i am starting to doubt if the PS3 can ever takes the X360.

According to System Wars, Sony has been set to overtake Microsoft in sales for the last three years.

sales wise? no.

sony has pulled off the best of the best exclusives out and they're

still behind nintendo and microsoft. they're releasing high quality games

but many people just don't think it's worth it to buy sony's system for those titles.

if gow3 and mgs4 or even move isn't enough, i really doubt they can catch up sales-wise

for the rest of the gen.

People claiming the ps3 won with its games nice opinions but imo the 360 still wins in that department as well!

From what I see no. Kinnect is going to be a bigger hit than move from all early indicationsand MS can always lower the price of their unit if Sony starts to surpass them monthly. Now I'm sure Sony's software will have a great year with all those games releasing but I think they will stay 3rd the rest of the gen.

Experience should have taught you that if it happens, you should just it happen itself without predictiing anything.

These posts did'nt end well the last three years so, for your own sake, save yourself the trouble.

lol, at people ignoring the wii or pretending like it doesn't count in this thread, anywayz...

don't care as long as Sony is happy enough with their sales to keep making and producing the most high quality AAA+ exclusive games this gen like they've been doing ever since MGS4 released.

Poor Nintendo. Most people here seem to really care for sales, but theirs are always ignored..

Well I'll say one thing on sales: for the sake of gaming I sincerely hope that those for Kinect will be very bad..

First of all, SONY is a company, not a consoles.

Secondly, Im so tired of waiting for the year this happens. Ive grown to not care and just enjoy what I have.

Sales..no

Games...definitely

I would say yes to sales too but even though kinect is a pileof crap,it will probably keep 360 ahead of the PS3. Unless PS3 hits that $199 sweet spot.

I doubt that. You see TC, GoW sells more than any of those exclusives. Just live with it, the ps3 will never catch the 360 unless M$ discounts it and start selling the new console.

Because 360 came out a year ahead of PS3, it will be tough for Sony to overtake them anytime soon. PS3 made a big push when the Slim was released. It made up a lot of ground on 360. Then 360 came out with their own slim and Halo Reach which has lengthened their lead a bit more. Worldwide, PS3 and 360 are basically even in weekly sales right now. Logically, PS3 should get the upper hand here soon again and maybe keep it for good this time. The PS3 game library is almost stunning for the next year and a half. Meanwhile, 360 appears to only have Gears of War 3 and some Kinect titles. I think Microsoft is on the verge of a serious game library problem. Mass Effect is now on PS3. Bungie is not doing anymore Halo. How long will the other studios be willing to continuously cycle Gears of War, Fable, and Forza? They just haven't done anything to flesh out their library since 2007. It could be a serious problem for them going forward. I dont think PS3 will outsell 360 enough to overtake them next year, but if Microsoft doesnt do something to beef up its game lineup, it wont be much longer past 2011 before PS3 does overtake them. 360 is still popular with the younger crowd for titles like COD, so I think it would take maybe through 2013 for PS3 to overtake 360.

I didn't know there are still people trying to copy-cat what Pachter has been doing for all these years where his predictions are 99.9999999999999999% WRONG.It's so funny people don't know jack about what will happen even tomorrow but they just tend to PREDICT what will happen in the future? How ironic.

It doesn't seem to matter how incredible Sony's games are - I'm yet to see one that people consider a 'system seller', even if many of them are the best I have ever played.

what is the point of arguing sALES if npd dont post them no more,

by the way -- wii is leading by a big enough margin for any one to catch them so it does not matter whether or not you want sony to catch microsoft because microsoft is only losing to begin with ,

AND with gaMES im going with the wii because it has had several titles in vast genres , and i dont think thAT is gonna change and no 2011 has not came and gone so im not gonna predict if i dont know what is on the plate! for nintendo or microsoft so no just no this topic is like all other prediction topics-failed out the gate

The systems are so close at this point it is irrelevant now. Especially since the Wii blew them out years ago.
