Playstation 3 Already Won the Next Gen Battle?

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday March 9, 2004 @05:10AM from the look-into-my-crystal-ball dept.

damyan writes "The BBC are running an article that claims that the Playstation 3 has already won the next-gen battle, since 'The Informa Media Group predicts that Sony will sell more than 30 million PlayStation 3s in Europe by 2010. It puts Microsoft in second place with 10 million sales and Nintendo trailing in third with five million.' If only everyone could see that well into the future."

Predictions... by GearheadX · 2004-03-09 05:12 · Score: 5, Funny

I wonder if this is a bunch related to the people who somehow predicted, and convinced, the old head of Nintendo that optical media in video games was 'just a fad' back during the N64 design phase.

  I remember CNN telling me that yup, we assume Gore will win Florida so we're just gonna throw those electoral votes into his pool. Man, was that ever frustrating when a couple hours later they yanked those votes away!
  
  Anyway, I've never owned a console before but I plan on getting a playstation 3. Why? Because the specs for PS3 are fucking ridiculous!! There's gonna be like digital naked-chicks and fucking explosions coming out of my Holographic HDTV set when I hook this bad boy up in 2006. :D
