Lately we've been hearing a lot from people from the video gaming industry wanting to give their opinions on the console wars. Many of the people have said that the PS3 will do better. Again, analysts from Lazard Capital Markets and DFC Intelligence have said the same thing, that the Playstation 3 will soon be the leading console. They say that the Xbox 360 will be in trouble in the coming year.
In the past few months, we've heard several groups from the video game industry give their opinions on the console war. Some of the more outspoken ones, including Electronic Arts and the President of Ready at Dawn studios, have expressed favor towards the PlayStation 3.
Analysts from Lazard Capital Markets and DFC Intelligence had the same sentiments, saying that the PlayStation 3 will soon be on top in the near future.
Now, analysts from the UK, Europe, and North America chime in with their own opinions, which they expressed at the Nordic Game 2008 conference. However, instead of focusing just on how big the PlayStation 3 will be in the future, they were more opinionated on the fate of the Xbox 360 and the Wii.

Truly shocking. The PS3 certainly will do better in the future once more price breaks arrive.
360 will suffer most when they make an attachment for the PS3 to play 360 games...that would be awesome.
They aren't loyal to any particular brand. They aren't paid by the brand either. They are quite literally weather men that predict economic trends rather than weather. You can give their thoughts about as much credence as the weather guys too.
Look how blatantly wrong they were about where the Wii would be by now. I don't think anyone predicted it would sell this fast. And when it did everyone thought it would peter out by now. Frankly I'm still waiting for production to catch up with demand before I even bother to try to buy one. And still I figured I would own one by now.
Having said that, there statement on the Wii is probably relatively accurate: the installed base is huge, but much of it is due to casual gamers most of whom are satisfied with 2 or 3 games at the most, which means that eventually Wii will be knocked off its pedestal. And most likely sooner rather than later.
As to the PS3 vs. the 360, yes, the PS3 will eventually prevail. But not until Microsoft releases their next-gen console, which should be in the next 2 years.
They look at the numbers, do their research, but come on, how much can they really know compared to...well us? I'm sure most of us can agree that each console has loyal gamers, that the Wii is not a fad if it's this strong in sales, and that the 360 isn't in trouble because it's line-up is looking solid and the failure rates have dropped by a large portion.
I had a ps2 and I got an xbox.
I agree with koloth and iLL, but right now PS3 is in more of a deep hole than anyone.
Edit: You are all a bunch of *bleep*ing tools, nobody can answer my question but you thumb me down? Then you thumb Gamesta up because he is loyal to PS3 and doesn't own Msoft consoles. Every day you fags just prove how biased gamegrep is.
I don't see being loyal to a console as a bad thing, it's only when you take your loyalty to far ie. being a fanboy.
I guess you could say I'm loyal to Sony consoles but in no way do I hate consoles besides Sony ones (except for the first XBOX
