BF2S Forums iSuppli predicts that 38 million PS3s will be sold by 2011

I'm not that surprised. I've got a few friends who regret getting the 360 and wish they waited for the PS3. In my opinion, Sony has really started to snowball. They're picking up some serious momentum and will continue for awhile.

Those guys are idiots. It will far exceed 31 million by 2011, its already at 17 million and it hasn't even been selling well, within the next year expect it to be up to 30 million.

There are quite a few big games coming out this year, you can also expect a price cut before Christmas which will shift a couple million.

Yup I saw this coming a mile off. The PS3 was destined to fail only until 1) it won the bluray/hddvd war, 2) just before the big guns were about to be released (MGS4, GTA4, FFXIII etc) and 3) everyone aready owned a Wii.

I'm getting a ps3 as soon as the games i want are released

Whats to discuss?

xbox got $t@ll0wn3d!!

Probably because of the Blu-Ray. As an owner of both a 360 and a PS3 right now, I can tell you that 360-only games are far superior to the selection of PS3-only games. Uncharted seems good and Motorstorm is fun, but there's not much else. Blu-Ray's going to become more mainstream in the future, and the PS3 is going to skyrocket because of it.

2008 = PS3 year, all the games are coming.

I wrote 38 by accident. It was supposed to be 48.

Yeah that sounds like a pretty reasonable estimation, i think it could possibly be even higher now though.

Heggs its actually 14 million. I was a bit off. 360 is indeed at 18 million.

My thoughts exactly, being the cheapest Blu-Ray player out currently, its gonna start being bought for that reason more so then gaming by a different market until the normal players start coming down.  Even with the "killer" titles coming down the line for PS3 Im seeing it as a problem of too little to late, 360/Wii Already have a whole mess of great games, and PS3 is somewhat limping along with mediocre titles and a couple good ones.

Precisely. The majority of people buy the PS3 for the hardware (as I did, tbh), and people buy the 360 for the games.

i really don't see what makes the 360 games so much better than the ps3.

enlighten me.

whatever, I have most of those for pc anyways, and I thought halo/gears of war weren't very good.

(I'm including everything that's both 360 only and 360/PC only)

Alan Wake
Bioshock
Gears of War
C&C3
Left 4 Dead
Mass Effect
Shadowrun
Crackdown
Dead Rising
Halo 3
Halo Wars
PGR3/4
CoD2
Forza Motorsport 2

Motorstorm, Uncharted and Resistance are the only PS3 only titles I can think of that are good. And in all honesty, I didn't like the Resistance demo, which is why I got Burnout Paradise instead.

However, PS3 will be coming up with a lot of good PS3 only titles. Haze, MGS (even though I don't care for MGS), etc. But seeing as Microsoft is a developer of the most used (and best, stfu mac fanboys) PC operating system, you have to figure that a computer company with one of the richest men on the planet as CEO (or, was) is going to make better games overall than an electronics company like Sony.

First mistake... did you just say Microsoft makes the "best" OS? Ever heard of Linux, no? Well fooking use it! Ubuntu is FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR better than any MS OS, MS OS's are designed for things like word, excel, etc etc, MS programs, and whats funny, its not even good at that. That makes it just about the WORST OS out there, for christsake mac OS has better MS Word than MS OS's and I fuking HATE macs.
Second mistake, thinking because MS is rich it makes good software, see above... and please explain the total flop that was the xbox... ill say this once. 120 million to 26 million... Sony make better consoles, period.
Third mistake, thinking because a console has lots of exclusives it means something, seeing as half those exclusives, arent EXCLUSIVES, as they are on the PC, and a quarter more of them are pure shit.. that really doesnt leave much reason for buying an xbox360 over the PS3, be it that I did actually buy one before the PS3, but that wasnt because of the long list of exclusives, it was because it was cheap.

I added strike-throughs to games that the PC also gets, and highlights to CnC3 as the console version is utter shit compared to the PC counter-part. Also PC gets more exclusive games than any other platform and the games ussually cost $10 less each than their console counter-parts.

This is only about games the Xbox 360 gets exclusivity in relation to other consoles. Whether or not the game is also available for the PC is inconsequential in the context of the debate.
