360 launch was great tons of presales 1.5 million of units for Xmas; though many first run issues caused some units to be replaced xbox support was pretty quick on any recalls/warranty work. but being the only system for Xmas they did great. sys sold for 299 and 399 retail and all games 59 & under... i have one and it fucking rocks... it was well worth the money spent.
now its a battle for next gen sys... xbox has already launched and pushed out over 5 million units by June 06 w/ an estimated 10 million by end of Q4 06. They still got some major tricks planned w/ launches of Forza 2, Halo 3, and a price drop for the holiday season.
Wii for 249 launch price you can't go wrong, system comes w/ wifi, wireless responsive controller, and a game. games are estimated to be 50 and under. there will be internet access and downloadable classic nintendo games online. 6 million units estimated sold before March 07; thats a whole lot. they plan on making it readily available for anyone looking to buy for xmas along w/ over 22 titles.
PS3 i'm wondering with the steep price tag of 499 or 599 is going to make or break them. 599 for a premium console w/o software titles is very steep. i read games between 60-70; which isn't great either. this long awaited next gen console could be the death of them. sony has announced it will only be shipping 400,000 to the us for launch and 100,000 in japan...
what is your take who will be top dog?
my opinion i think Xbox is going to start to take a huge chunck of the North American/Europe market... they can't compete with sony in Japan, its their home. Wii i think is going to be the great underdog story, i can see they low low price making some big numbers for nintendo putting them back in the console race. i know i'm going to buy a Wii.PS3 i just don't think sony has their shit together; don't get me wrong i'm sure its going to rock but high price low amount of units = unhappy supporters. i don't see many moms and dads wanting to shell out 600$ for little johnny when he probably alreadly has a 360/ps2.
