Parting shots: Reeves expects PS3 to be dominant in 3-5 years

How do they plan to achieve this, essentially doubleing their units sold and then some all in 3 to 5 years? Whats their business plan?

They got the games, they just need the price cut and the marketing.

But then you factor in the wii and then realize its too late to be numba 1! They do have global appeal though so they could easily get a close second (closer to 3rd, not 1st).

PS3 is the best video game console ever made.

It is also the best living room device ever made.

It does everything, and it does it very very well.

PS3 makes it clear that the Xbox360 is a complete disaster in every way.

While I do enjoy prophecies and visions from the future, sometimes they are pretty ridiculous.

I think the end of the world in 5 years is even more believable than the PS3 taking over gaming. The system is pretty much done from a market point of view, at least the gamecube was profitable, the PS3 is having trouble even lowering costs..

Too bad the Mayan ghosts will destroy the world in 2012, so I guess we will never know.

The PS3 will be obsolete when the new hardware gen starts. Why? Well, last I recall, the PS3 and 360 have a hard time rendering games in 1920x1200 and getting good framerates. So I don't understand people who think the PS3 is the be all end all. It is not. The cell was supposed to do the graphics duties but then they found out it couldnt and so a graphics card was stuffed in there. That graphics card is now old and slow.

Next gen we will get motion controls, better graphics capabilities, and probably hardware physics support.

People who think the current gen is maxing out hardware have a problem looking at history and being creative enough to think that there is no possible way to improve what is currently out. If MS does release something fantastic, then Sony's 3-5 year plan for dominance is lame.

3-5 years? Microsoft's next console, NIntendo's next console, and Sony's next console will be out in that time span. So who gives a shit?

As previously stated, in 3-5 years the next generation of systems will be out, so the PS3 domination 360 and wii in sales won't be that impressive. The system is a solid system, but it can't compete with the 360 or wii due to its high cost. The system is not the best system ever made, and that shows from its dismal sales (360s selling better than them in Japan?) and the 2.7 billion dollar loss Sony took last year. Yes, it does have some great exclusives coming up, but Sony tends to announce its big ticket items way in advance to garner interest in its systems.

Microsoft will announce exclusives and big titles at E3, and it will compete with Sony no problem, just like the last two years. There's no reason that the 360, with many more exclusives (not to mention exclusive extra content), than the PS3 would suddenly drop down to none. And I really think people are under estimating the power of the Halo franchise. Halo ODST will sell more units than most of Sony's upcomming exclusives combined.

Sony needs a lot of work. It needs to make the PS3 affordable and appealing to more people, to you know, make money and potentially stay in the market. It also needs to do the same with the PSP. Yes, there's likely a new upgrade or a new PSP going to be announced at E3, but as Nintendo has shown us it probably won't matter due to the DS. The DSi was selling 43 units a minute the first 48 hours it was out in Japan, the third version of the DS was shipping over 100k units in 2 days, in one country. Has the PSP ever done that?

And someone mentioned a PS3 bundled with Killzone 2 and LBP. Yes, it sounds like a great idea, but the current bundle (with Uncharted) barely sells, and Killzone isn't nearly as big as Halo, or as played. It's like trying to compete against a Mario or Pokemon game, it just can't happen. I'm sure some people would enjoy it, but the price would be astronomical, this putting off even more potential buyers.

The PS3 still has a lot of work to do to even catch up to the other two systems, let alone make a profit. It now has some decent exclusives coming out for it (I can't wait for Infamous or GoW 3), but it still has to compete against the exclusives on the other two systems, and deal with the fact that crossplatform games sell better on the 360 on an almost 2:1 basis.

If it's 199 by that time I'll throw down on one.
