With the xbox 360 having such huge demand last xmas, does anyone think the ps3 will prove even more popular this xmas making it even harder to get hold of than the 360?

But how does that make it more successful? The 360 sold out as far as I remember... I'm sure the Wii will sell out also. The first 6 months proves nothing, as has been shown historically. Didn't the Dreamcast sell really well at launch?Mandark said:It will be more successful globally of course because the launch consoles will sell out in all territories but those are early adopter sales.
Absolutely. The big difference here is Japan, no-one will touch the PS3 there obviously. But in the US/Europe (which are both bigger markets anyway) ther is a very different story to tell, and I feel the balance will be far more even this time round, which is a good thing for us game lovers!Mandark said:It's the mass market down the line sales that count.

Sony have a massive hold in Japan, as do Nintendo. There's very little chance that the PS3 won't dominate as Sony meet the needs of the Japanese market so well, whereas MS don't at all. MS haven't got near to hitting that critical mass in Japan where there's a large enough customer base for developers to push out loads of Japanese-centric titles - it's a catch 22 situation. Sony on the other hand have established relationships with these developers and so titles will be that much easier to push out.Tom Tom said:Why is that (sorry for being behind)?
Ah, I see what's happened then, bad wording on my side. I meant no-one will touch the PS3 sales in Japan, not no-one will touch it! Ooops!Ratinho said:I think he's confused because your post said/suggested that 'no-one will touch the PS3 there obviously.' when talking about Japan. I assume you meant to say 360.
