Considering the prices, Nintendo has to sell about 2 systems to equal one PS3.
The fact that retailers believe that PS2, at $150 is going to outsell the PS3 by almost half again more, is crazy.
Just remember, its not who outsells who, but who profits more. Just because Nintendo is going to ship double the amount or whatever it is, doesnt mean that they will profit most. Remember the prices? Yeah. 2 nintendo wii's for every 1 PS3.
My prediction: PS3 outsell's everything. Nintendo has become a console for kids, with educational games and shit. Sorry Fanboys, nothing against you guys, but the Wii is going to get shit on.
I have played Gamecube, Xbox, and PS2. I have also played X-360. Im going to admit, that I am biased towards PS2. Sure Xbox's flagship video game is Halo, but that is one game, what others are there? PS2 has better titles than both Gamecube and Xbox. Now you are saying, this is all speculation, you cant prove that PS2 is better than any other system, and you cant prove that PS3 will be better than the existing consoles.
Lets take a look at sales. Xbox & Xbox 360 combined - 24 million and 5 million respectively for a total of 29 million consoles.
Nintendo Gamecube - 21 million respectively.
PlayStation 2- 106 million consoles respectively. Sony MUST be doing something right here...
The numbers dont lie. If you were to combine the sales of Gamecube, and both Xbox consoles, it wouldnt even equal half of what PS2 has sold.
Now for the PS3. I am sure many of you have read that the PS3 is capable of 2.18 TeraFLOPS, or Floating point Operations Per Second, which is used to measure a computers performance. To put that in perspective, a modern day desktop computer will run at a few GigaFLOPS.
So to answer anyone's question about which system is more powerful, performance wise, its the PS3.
Now, I have been reading up about the consoles and Have found out that PS3 will be out with HD ports for 600 dollars. Among my research, I found that Microsoft will be releasing an HD add-on for the 360 that will cost in the area of around $200. The 360 premium system is at $400. Combined with the $200 HD add-on, you have a PS3 with shittier graphics, less power, and a smaller hard drive for the same amount of money. Congrats, you just kicked yourself in your own ass.
And for a previous post about PS3 games being in upwards of $70, they are debuting at 59.99, I believe.
