EA prediction: PS3 to outsell 360 this year
« on: February 05, 2008, 01:52:38 PM »
UK,  February 4, 2008 - Electronic Arts has just released predicted hardware sales for the coming year, with the Xbox 360 predicted to sell between 6 to 8 million units in North America and Europe, while the PS3 is expected to shift 9.5 to 11.5 million units.

The software giant expects the two consoles to be neck and neck in North America, with estimates for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 coming in between 4.5 and 5.5 million. It's in the European territories that Sony looks to steal a lead in the console race, with a predicted 5 to 6 million units sold as opposed to the Xbox 360 with 1.5 to 2.5 million. Nintendo's Wii is predicted to maintain a clear lead over the opposition, with combined European and North American sales of 12 to 14 million.

Meanwhile on the handheld front, the DS is again expected to triumph, with an estimated advantage over its chief rival Sony's PSP of around 8 million units.

Aye, the sales might equalise, but the ps3 will still have a much smaller installed base, because up till now, the 360 has been beating it hollow...

Not that I have a horse in this race, in any shape or form. I'd quite like to have seen both fall flat on their faces.

Bah, I've never undertood mario games except on Gameboy.

Halo 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock and Forza will keep me occupied nicely.

In all seriousness though, there is no game that would attract me to the Wii or PS3. Of all the PS3s major franchises (the few exclusives that remain, anyway), none are my kinda thing. Horses for courses as usual. :)

Prices would go higher, because of a surplus in PS3s and 360s. And someone would have to buy out the surplus in order for things to go smooth-sailing again.

^I thought a surplus of supply would result in lower prices...? Because surely excess demand would mean higher prices?

I dunno.
