Early August, actually. Twelve weeks = 3 months. It's May. 5 + 3 = 8.

Yes, but Anihawk's calcs say that it'd take three months from NEXT week. Thus, I reasoned the end of August/start of September.Cheesemeister said:
EDIT: Oh wait, I redid the math... So, should I hand in my geek squad gun and badge now, or at the end of this shift?

Non-console status. Non-consoles are cheap to make, easy to profit.

I think Sony forgot to make first party games for the Japanese market.
This shows the obvious following:
Sony, overconfident about their success in Japan with the PS2, saw MS as their "true" and only future competitor, hence focussed on the development of first-party titles for the US and European markets (development time that took 3 years or more for most of those games, hence back at a time when Sony had no idea about the Wii and DS' potential).
Now Sony has nothing to sell its console in Japan, Nintendo is eating their share of the market over there, and their console is too expensive anyway so MS keep its lead.
Yep. To think that some people at Sony couldn't see it coming with all the money they are paid, yet we could.
WE RULE THIS INDUSTRY.

Three years ago yeah maybe, but Sony could have still adjusted their aim over the past year, which they have not done.
EDIT: I still think that the industry is going to hit a big wall soon. They invested a lot in expensive next-gen development but will make no profit with said games. They'll shift their focus all at the same time, compete with one another in a rush as they try to quickly make their money back but will end up releasing shovelware on the Wii and DS, hence lose more money, while Nintendo continues to sit on its expanding money cloud.

these threads are getting noticeably um... less exciting as far as debates go.
it almost seems like there's half as many people posting as before.

Go to Gamespot's forums. It's like all the Sony fanboys are hiding out there. :lol

I just think that Sony has so many different projects on their plate, and a horrible organizational structure to complicate matters further, to the point where there is really nobody behind the wheel there anymore. Microsoft and Nintendo are focused and ready. Everything that those two companies do in the gaming sphere lately just makes sense. Sony almost appears to be caught off guard. They spent so much time working on the hardware that they simply didn't have any software to back it up. Is there REALLY a reason to buy a PS3 right now? I don't see a single game that I, as a gamer, want to own right now on the PS3.
In the end it always comes down to a question of value: Do gamers see a reason to spend $600+ on a PS3 right now? Apparently the answer is no. That is why a price drop simply isn't going to happen. Sony knows that a $100 drop in price isn't going to make people suddenly want a system with no games.

This Week Sales:
Since 11/27/07:
25 Total Weeks of Next Gen sales.
19 Total Weeks of post-holiday sales.
360 - Established Trend: 2-4k. Next Gen Avg = 7,535. Post Holiday Avg = 4,181.
Wii - Back to cycle: 55-78k. Next Gen Avg = 99,062. Post Holiday Avg = 71,662.
PS3 - Falling Trend: 8-13k. Next Gen Avg = 35,684. Post Holiday Avg = 19,190.
Results, Analysis, & Expectations
● The 360's sales are insignificant. 2k-5k per week for the foreseeable future.
● The PS3's sales are insignificant. 6-12k per week for the foreseeable future.
● The Wii's sales definitely reflect the slowest console week of the year. Still outsold the competition 6-1. Should hover between 50k-70k for the summer.
Expectations for 05/21-05/27
360 - 2.5k*
Wii - 61k <-- Overestimated by 14k last week
PS3 - 9k*
* = within 1.8k estimation success the previous week.
This Week's Market Share:
LTD Market Share Week-to-Week
Significant Notes:
● The Wii has extended its lead to 1,584,440 over the PS3.
● Slowest console week this year in Japan @ 62.8k units. Wii had 83% of all console sales.
● The PS3 will presumably hit 900k units the same week that the Wii hits 2.5 million units sold.
● The Wii should officially have two-thirds (67%) market share after next week.
Thoughts
It's getting predictable, and it has been. Nothing I could add here would make it more interesting other than some wacky predictions or outlandish claims. I can summarize, if you'd like?
1. It's over.
2. Price Cut.
3. I'm coining the term PSthree-make. As in, when they re-release it. This term will me more widely recognized than my previous coinage, the Gundabump.
