PS3 will overtake 360 by summer

Pretty much but it seems some people are pretty damn rude. I wouldn't go up to someone having a conversation and tell them its pointless discussing it.
 
BT made a complete hash of broadband (they still are in some respects), and if they are in charge of fibre cabling etc the initial charge for a high speed line will be horrendous for a number of years

If it becomes available in 2010-2015, majority of people wont have a fast enough line for d/l hidef movies for a good 5 to ten years after that if they are lucky (it was predictions of standard broadband that would be widespread within a couple of years, but it took more like 5-10 before 8mb was even anything like standard - and even now most people dont actually get this speed)

It took me 30 minutes last night on an 8mb line to download one tv episode around 500mb in size (I did several back to back) that was 40 minutes in length or there abouts

So without doubt fibre or a lot faster links are required for hidef films of several GB's before it will be used extensively and that wont happen immediately, even without consideration of monthly cost

Hidef discs will be around for some time yet imo, even if people just buy hidef versions of more recent releases just from the cinema, and when their dvd player breaks they replace with a BR stand alone or ps3 (while there are undoubtedly good movies on hd-dvd, I cant see sales of players doing a lot after present stocks are sold)

With the imminent arrival of GT5 and a little later Home and Little Big Planet, I can see PS3 sales going through the roof

Some people are tired of the 'my console has sold more than yours!' crap, As i said in another thread while console sales help with the competition i couldn't care less about them(not as much as people on here anyway) aslong as i get some decent games to play on either console.

Console sales is just not thrilling news to me(not when it's used to basically say 'neh neh, your console is poop!' which is what happens most of the time on here) then the thread turns into a 360 vs PS3 fangirl thread

I fully understand that. I feel the same. As long as I am having fun playing games I couldn't care if I had the next Gizmondo.

But there is no need to post in a thread saying that it's pointless. It may be pointless for you but for others it is a serious debate. There's a lot of stuff on these forums that doesn't interest me, I don't post in each one saying that. :)
 
I was talking about peahead :p

But yeah that's normally why I stay out of these debates unless I think I have a strong case lol

LOL was just about to post the same. I have to admit that you have to be one extremely sad individual to actually get excited over such stupidity:p


But ill say this...good for Sony for outselling the 360...well done...its taken them a few yrs to do it...better late than never eh??:p
 
McManicMan why dont you make some sort of "McManicMan Official Thread" where you post all your PS3 news so that we don't have multiple console threads that deteriorate into console wars.

Edit: Although, don't get me wrong. I'm glad that my favourite console won't failboat afterall :)

Didn't want to start another sales thread (although its tempting) as i dont want to upset people not interested in console sales but the NPD is in for Jan , remember this is US only and not including Canada

From IGN

February 14, 2008 - The NPD Group, which tracks videogame software sales, released its data report for the month of January and, once again, Nintendo's home console was the best-selling system during the time frame. Despite severe hardware shortages – supply was so limited, in fact, that Nintendo was forced to hand out vouchers to consumers interested in Wii – approximately 274,000 gamers picked up the console in January. Surprisingly, the second best-seller was not the company's DS handheld, but PlayStation 3 with nearly 270,000 units sold. PlayStation 2 took third with about 265,000 units sold. DS was the fourth best-seller with roughly 252,000 units sold, PSP fifth with 230,000 sold and Microsoft's Xbox 360 trailed them all with about 229,000 in sales. Is Xbox 360 doomed? Yeah – probably not. Keep in mind that all of the aforementioned systems sold within 50,000 units of each other.

Wii and DS accounted for five of the 10 top best-selling games in January, according to NPD. The biggest performer for the month was Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for Xbox 370 with about 328,000 in sales. Wii Play was number 2 with 298,000 in sales. Guitar Hero III for Wii was number three with another 240,000 in sales. Super Mario Galaxy was number four with another 172,000 sold. Xbox 360's Rock Band was number five with 171,000 in sales. Guitar Hero 3 for Xbox 360 (167,000), Burnout Paradise (144,000), Call of Duty 4 for PS3 (139,000), Mario Party DS (138,000) and Mario & Sonic at the Olympics (133,000) rounded out the top 10 best sellers.

Yep shock horror The PS3 outsold the 360 and the DS, and was only 5K off the Wii, must be down to hardware shortage for Nintendo and Microsoft?. As a side note, due to this neogaf has officially died lol
