Now, I've been going around forums and lately have been hearing that Xbox 360 will destroy PS3 because of the fact that it will be releasing earlier than that of the PS3 and the Revoluion. Xbox 360 slated for this fall, and Sony's and Nintendo's in mid-2006.
My opinion.... Sony has never been the first of it's generation and has won in sales for 2 generations now. (Note I said sales....SALES not capability of hardware superiority...) For 2 generations Sony PSX and PS2 has ruled the sales charts and it has not released first.
So what I'm trying to say is.... you think Xbox 360 will win next-gen in sales because it is released earlier? I don't think so...
Even though Dreamcast was the first 128... it wasn't in the triple threat in this generation.
Of the three in this gen... PS2 released earlier, and we saw better machines in Xbox and GCN because they released later and had more time to perfect their machines.
Will we see the sae fate with the Xbox 360 being the weakest system, releasing the earlier of the 3?
