PS3 may surpass Xbox 360, says Sega

Posted on November 19th, 2007 at 04:53 EDT

Noah Musler, Sega’s Director of Artists and Repertoire, has stated that he agrees with industry analysts who feel the PlayStation 3 will catch up to the Xbox 360 in terms of hardware sales, if not surpass it altogether.

Musler attributed this not only to the introduction of the new 40GB console and various price cuts, but the influx of quality software available.

"Microsoft has done a good job of closing the gap between the platforms. I don't think they are in the situation they were in with the PS2 and Xbox 1, but it is still too soon to say," said Musler, during an interview with Gamesindustry.biz

He also added that he feels having multiple PS3 SKUs on the market would do little to hurt the machine, stating, "I think it has still got a little bit of time to grow.”

"Fortunately, there are a lot of videogame consumers out there, and the market continues to grow."

"People want to play games, and the games keep getting better. The development community is really driving that by making great product."

PS3 id Bedsidelee, Sega can't say that the way ps3 is going it's going from bad to worse unfortunately, and if the xbox360 have a good holiday season with games like mass effect on the way then this holiday season could prove disastrous for sony. Only i think sony has got a fighting chance with drakes uncharted and haze and if these titles sell well then it could be a turnaround for the ps3, and people say it's too early to say who's going to win this war i disagree i think christmas 07 is vital.

WTF does Sega know about winning a console war? Haha jk,

Seriously though, if the PS3 doesn't surpass the 360 in sales, it shows that either people are morons or Bill Gates is brainwashing the mass public somehow, only some of us are immune. Man I need some sleep

In any case, both consoles will see a major growth this holiday season, thats not to say that Sony can't walk away as winner during this time with all its major effort into making sure the games and the machine at a competitive pricepoint is there to move consoles.

But I have to say people are morons and are stupid and only the stupid are brainwashed! W3 PS3 owners should stand strong on the road to victory!!! W3 are the smart. W3 are the proud! W3 are PS3 Owners!! LOL
