 Digg.com Facebook Google Bookmarks N4G Gamerblips del.icio.us Reddit Slashdot.org StumbleUpon Ha ha ha! Only 6 years away, we could all be dead before then! interesting, i thought the 360 and ps3 were compatible with standard def tv's too. all that matters for me is whats in my house and gets played...i have all 3 machines,the 360 is the only console i constantly play...PS3 gets switched on once or twice a fortnight perhaps,Wii 6 months ago Gotta love these analysts but by 2015 i'd put money on the xbox 360 being a distant memory. Dropped just like the original xbox for a 'natal equipped 720'.
I hope not though as my 360 is fantastic! retarded. the new one will either be out or gearing up for launch. shoot this spazoid. God, really who gives a shit?? CVG post article after article of this flamebait crap. Pick the console that you're happiest with and dont worry
about "who's selling how many of what" FFS!!! 2015? - so the 360 now has a 10 year cycle too?
:roll: Yeah, I can see that, but expect xbox 720 by 2012 anyway. Also, as the Xbox still holds a large enough market share to be profitable to both Mircosoft and the software developers, so ultimately doesn't matter. The PS3 will have loads of great exclusives, as will the 360. The wii will just be played by my mum and girlfriend. 8) this is mog lays! all of it! it is not the troth! make may mad angery! ffs, may xplain to this noob that teh order go
8)
1) xbox360 .greet and speciel made of /win
2)wii . a bit crap, but good good for mom
3) ps-crap. worser than n64 IMGO /fail
8)
lesseon over. uv been serveed. plez troth only. After PS3 price cut this year, yeah Xbox 360'll slip. Hush now - let the adults talk.
:roll: 2015?
This will make the 'Console War' one of the longest wars that mankind has faced and we have been in the trenches and firing line throughout all of it!
How many caualties has there been?
At least 25 million online usernames, it has not been pretty.
To our fallen comnrades, we salute you :D ! Dunno if xbox360 will last till 2015.....
But its pretty obvious the ps3 should gain alot more sales than the xbox360 in the long run in Japan which gives Soyn alot more sales.
I wish I got paid to be an analyst.... or - just dont post. I can see this console cycle going on longer than the previous one did. Since its become more about control and less about the actual grunt of the console itself.
There's no chance in hell that the the other two will even get close to the wii in terms of sales i also highly doubt that the PS3 will ever overtake the 360. Its dominance in the larger of the 3 markets (US,EU) has cemented that for the forseeable future.
As for the wii not having any decent exclusives. Have you been living under a rock. my wiis been seeing more playtime than the other two combined this year. last year granted it was an attractive paper wieght for the best part of the year. but since wiiwares gotten its act together and it looks like devs are starting to take it seriously it's been a great year for the wii. and i can see this continuing next year. i used to think that my main console would be 360, until i actually got my ps3. now i buy non exclusive games for ps3 instead of 360. i like practically everything on it more, the pad, the dashboard, the look of the machine etc... 8) no way! wht, is you sony ideots blind?!
there is no compietetion xbox360 will be the best console for evr and evr 8)
with games lik halo and the natel Anyone without rose-tinted glasses could have told you the order will probably be Wii, PS3, 360. Don't need an analyst for that.
360 will stop production before 2015 at least in the form it is now (denying it 2nd place) and a new console will release with a new name hopefully...
Wii will probably stop before then too, maybe with a newer HD version taking it's place "WiiHD" (sounds bit like weeed - not the best name)
PS3 will continue to run into 2015, with a new sibling released before then to match Microsoft's new entry probably the PS4, and will continue steady sales
There probably will be an Apple entry by then too, as well as that OnLive rubbish.
Anyway placement isn't everything. It's the money you make that matters. CVG only post crap like this because they probably get payed for the amount comments posted cant you find proper news CVG CVG only post crap like this because they probably get payed for the amount comments posted.
Cant you find proper news CVG By 2016 the xbox 360 will have been replaced by the 720, and the two reasons he gives for both 360 and ps3 being behind wii is normal tv and motion control.....err dosnt both consoles work on normal tv's? and wont they both have motion control soon enough?

Jesus, will anyone care by then? I mean, We'll pretty much have had all the games we're going to get by then, so what differnece does it make to us?
What is that, like the 8th/9th year into the consoles lifetime? The PS2 is around there now and as we all know, everyone is still going mental at the fact it's beating the Gamecube and Xbox.
Or not . . y'know. Yes I'm not at all surprised by this statement
Its been obvious for a long time now the 360 days are numbered (Since Blue Ray won the war) The 360 was good to get the next generation going but sadly the big noisy machine will be sooning breathing its last breath. To be fair, the PS3 needs a MAJOR price cut to get it back in the game. Yes I'm not at all surprised by this statement

But that guy is talking out his ass He says it is due to Japan, but I thought Britain was now the 2nd largest consumer of computer games after the US now, and I believe our main console is the 360? (yes, after the wii obviously) 8) may aggrree broother. ps-crap needs MAJOR price cut down. is tyrantt sony cut teh prise to £5, may by some...
shhh 2 throguh in the c hahah ps-crap ps-crap /ownd
8) The 360 will continue to sell in significant numbers as people replace broken down 360's that they bought in 2005,6,7 etc
Not a RROD swipe, as we all know that the majority of PS2s bought now are replacements.
360 will probably have more re-purchase value as people don't want to waste the rest of their paid for thier LIVE sub The 360 will continue to sell in significant numbers as people replace broken down 360's that they bought in 2005,6,7 etc

I think somebody in the CVG office must be switching the internet when they switch their pc off at home time. Big deal. By 2015 I would be very surprised if someone hasn't released a new "next gen" console and thus changing the rules of the game. Oh snap I'd better get rid of my 360 and get a PS3 so I'm not with the "losing team" in 2015! 8) broother horngreen, yous shold not hav greet and speciel xbox360 under the sam roof as ps-crap anyways sunshin So despite the fact that the wii's sales have plummeted over the last year and the 360 is much cheaper they still believe the 360 will be last and the wii first :S Who cares? By 2015 I will be over 30 :( well... we don't know what it is.. no-one does... but best guess... a white hole. Why do we even care? The market is healthy enough to support three consoles so what difference do sales make to the gamers? Post this on a business site, not a gaming site, CVG.
Now, enough flame wars, lets all talk about something else, oooh I know! What's your favorite sword from any game? Mine is Sephiroth's Masamune from FF7. Are these people actually paid for this load of old tosh they spout? CVG are probably paying 'em. i say BS to patcher. The 360 is outselling the ps3 in the U.S by an even greater margin than last year so how the hell is the ps3 going to catch up? not unless the 360 gets replaced. if you don't care about the sony exclusives or bluray there's no point in getting a ps3 over a 360.
whoever posted they switched from 360 to ps3 and prefer the ps3 pad i say you must be smoking crack or something. Microsoft will blatantly have released another console by 2015. Just cause Sony are going on and on and on and on and on and on and on about ten year life cycles, doesn't mean that's what Microsoft and Nintendo are planning. In fact, Ubisoft (I think, one of the top three publishers anyway) said they're expecting a new Microsoft console in the next two to three years. So in fact, the 360 will probably be fourth or fifth or sixth place in 2015.
Having said that, if Micrsoft market Natal in the way that Nintendo have marketed the Wii then it wouldn't be surprising to see them take first place with the 360 or 360 with Natal in the next few years. Oh for christs sake speak real english please & learn some grammar & spelling while your at it.
:roll: On topic really by 2015 thats like 5 & half years by then there will be another gen upon us or with us in full swing either that or we will be downloading all our games or streaming them & playing them through a little set top box like the On-live.
And as far as I can see there is no reason why the current gen machines could not double up as a set top receiver for such applications anyway, I mean MS are already testing the waters in this area with full 1080P hd streaming films, if they can do this with movies why not games? "Oh, for Christ's sake, speak real English please, and learn some grammar and spelling while you're at it."
There, I fixed that for you. Well, like someone said, CVG get money for loads of post so they're probably doing it on purpose :wink: 2015? Dont make me laugh, The PS3 is now on a 21.8% market share compaired to the 360 which has a 29.4% market share (wii has 48.8%). I think by the end of 2010 the 360 will be in 3rd place.
Just incase you thought I picked these numbers out of the air, try www.vgchartz.com you can keep a good track on sales across all formats. The 360's biggest problem is MS's inability to understand how to update their tech. If they could release a sexy little 360 in the next six months they would walk all over Sony, but we'll still be looking at their beige box for another three years at least. :roll: 2015, by that time Microsoft will have a replacement for the 360 The 360 and ps3 won't be very competitive by 2015.
I'll be amazed if there's not another xbox by then, i wouldn't rule out a ps4 by then either.
After testing overlord 2 on 360 and pc recently, it was painful to see the 360 struggling(framerate wise)to keep up with my pc.
The pc ran it at 1920x1080 with no slowdown ever, the 360 runs it at a lower res and it stutters like a champion.
The 360 is already looking like what it is now(a 4 year old pc). The ps3 is no better.
A decent pc hammers both consoles already, by 2015 it'll be out of sight power wise. Yeah, but can you buy a £130 Pc that can run it at all? 2015?????
why on earth would anyone even quote that time frame??? He does make a good point though. I imagine a lot of us have moved to PC gaming at the end of a console generations lifetime. It will certainly get to a point in the next couple of years where you'll need to play the PC version to get the full experience.
Time to start saving.
:) 8) blagger (noob) yous r an ideot! their is no game witch is better on ps-crap or personel-crap (PC) greet and speciel xbox is /win haha 8) »
I was going to say I don't agree, but if you already have a decent PC, you can pick up graphics cards that easily outstrip a 360/Ps3 for about £120. In fact I was playing San Andreas on my old P4 and Doom 3, Half Life 2.
I always thought the PS3 would outsell the 360 by the time their successors arrive. Not sure it'll happen by 2010 though as market share has stayed at roughly 22%, 30% and 48% for the last year, with the wii actually pulling away slightly. To maintain a higher market share, you have to sell more than companies with lower market share, so Sony have got to first match the global weekly/monthly sales of the 360 and then over take it. Think that might take a bit longer than 18 months, especially considering the USA's preference of the the 360.
I've come to three conclusions:
1) It's going to be interesting to see what happens when the prices are more evenly matched.
2) It looks like there is space for three main home consoles in the market. Even if two of them are closer in spec than probably ever before. I suppose that's because one of them approaches things totally differently.
3) This year I predict the 2009 Vauxhall Astra to outsell the 1981 Ford Capri. Very true. I could see them going down this route as opposed to further price cuts but if they haven't talked it up by now I can't see it happening. A couple of points, Japan are trying to be more western with their games so 360 could phase into normality there.
360 has the cheapest systems and with Natal may become even more appealing to the casual audience so could gain ground in this way.
Last I assume this is hardware only because I know the 360 will still make the most out of software and the PS3 doesn't actually sell units for games its more for Bluray movies (even if the games are top choices from E3 they're rental length games)
I'm going to make a better guess and say in 6 years Japan will be more of a standard audience in with America and EU in tastes and 360 will slightly penetrate the casual audience and Wii will slow sales to bring the gap between the two closer and PS3 in games sales will be distant third as the console will sell as a cheap/powerfull Bluray player but as a confused and unsociable console won't have enough appeal.
I'll be back in 6 years to gloat that I made a better estimate of gaming future than this guy lol. »
That's if there are any games developers still supporting the PC, and not just porting the odd console game over to it(the PC is now pretty much the worst selling platform out there). The artice lose all it creidbility from the oth by saying thw Wii compatbilty with SD TV is a reason it will be No 1.
Both the PS3 & 360, work fine on SD Tvs *sigh* You are not helping your case, just so you know. :roll: Yep. It's like clockwork and it blows big time. :evil: »»
I am sure the PC games market will be fine by then. There is still a hell of a lot going for it. There is still plenty of room for PC gaming and PC's are still going to be available for a long time for people to carry on developing on. unlike the consoles, where they are obsolete over time. Apart from good old retrogaming that is :) Pretty much, and your observation reinforces Ted's comment above. The current consoles might be able to stick around if there was a cheap, easey and reliable way to upgrade their hardware while not leaving existing customers out in the cold. However, if a workable solution was found it would probably result in the consoles imitating a fully fledged PC even more than at present.
The more PC-like a console becomes the more it seems the companies making them will have to consider how much of a loss per unit they are willing to sustain by entering what will essentially be a PC market if they want to keep their prices lower than existing PCs. That or they will have to specifically limit the functions of the PC-consoles at a time where many customers are accustomed to having choice and an increase in features - that may not be a winning strategy. Perhaps focusing on the "ease of use" factor would be the way to go since many people are somehwat intimidated by the innards of a PC due to a lack of knowledge about them, but that still leaves the console companies competing with existing PC makers and brings us back to the current issue of how to upgrade that system later on. In other words: back to square one. The 360 and PS3 work fine on standard def TVs. Don't make me laugh. Try playing Dead rising or the multitude of other games in which the text becomes practically unreadable then tell me they work perfectly well on SD Tvs. the fact that HD tvs have plummeted in price recently make it a bit of a moot point. but still. »»
Not quite. Forgot the MMOs? That market segment alone utterly destroys any other market segment in terms of sales and it provides a near constant revenue. I don't go for subscription based MMOs personally, but that doesn't blind me to the success of some of them and why they can be an attractive option for some publishers/developers.
It does seem that there are less AAA PC titles being released but they are still being released, though in many cases on multiple platforms which is fine really. Analysts, you gotta love em..they do what they are paid to do..analyse the figures as they stand today.
Of course it's rubbish..i reckon that the Dreamcast will have a great resurgence due to finally the english version of seaman 2 being released and everybody plays power stone all day.
that would be nice now wouldnt it. »»»
MMOs are kind of the exception, along with ad supported flash games and micro transaction supported games like Battlefield Heroes, which all generate revenue in ways other than the traditional method. But as for AAA titles? just look at the way publishers are now leading with the console versions, with the PC version following behind(I'm begining to think they only do that now to distance it from the others). Also, how many AAA PC exclusives are coming in the future that aren't supported by ads, subs or micro transactions? :? Official.... The year of the PS3... 2015... Just you wait! I know this is probably a faux pas, but the xboxidiot should know that an Xbox is essentially a PC dressed up as a console...therefore slagging off a pc is rather redundant. Who's "slagging off" PCs? :? I seriously doubt such a prediction. The console will definately fade in 6 years time- new consoles will be out by then, but I don't think that the XBOX 360 will ever fall behind the PS3. Just because Microsoft can't infiltrate Nintendoland (aka Japan...) doesn't mean it'll be bad; Sony did a good job of appealing to the west with the PS2, and the only reason why the Gamecube was still heard of years on was because Japan has an obessession with Nintendo.
It's definately not a console appealing to everybody like the Wii, but it certainly offers a few things more for the money than the PS3. you had to ask? The new Xbox will probably be out within 3 or 4 years, so this statement is void. I wouldn't be surprised to see Microsoft choose to have Blu Ray, because their other attempts with the HD-DVD didn't exactly go to plan. I do believe that the PS3 will begin rapidly catching up on Microsoft, but it needs price cuts firstly, be able to run every PS1 and PS2 game, and lots more AAA titles like Uncharted and GOW, to stand a chance. jazzy man yous is a noob haha may lath at yous. why not go love the "ugly bettey" game on ps-crap /owned. haha eat may Grow up What a load of bo***cks! Anyone can say who the market leader will be in x amount of years :roll: by analysing what's happened since the beginning of this new generation.
I think the Wii's user base will actually dip as owners get fed up with the cheap party games and gamecube re-releases. The PS3 will do well but the 360 could be just pip it as it has the superior game catalogue.
*There you go, i'm another idiot who has predicted the future with my masterful analysing.....now, where do i pick up my cheque? :lol: * Xboxrulez you are a bell-end! ****ing MicroShaft fanboy,learn to speak proper English like what I does! |
