New Year’s Predictions
Posted on January 2nd, 2008 by wagnoid
Here’s my own predictions for 2008 in gaming:
- PS3 will finally get some traction this year after a good spring and summer. There are number of good titles that slipped into Spring and if all goes well for Sony, they’ll have more buzz in their favor over Microsoft in the console wars.
- Wii might overtake Microsoft and Sony in console sales (if they haven’t already), but they’ll lose the war big time on software sales especially for third party games. I think many Wii owners will be happy making it a Wii Sports player, and many more will simply have Nintendo player.
- By next winter we’ll here about a Wii HD in the works which will be backward compatible with the Wii but be a bit more powerful to support HDTVs.
- Grand Theft Auto 4 sales will be below predictions.
- A new PSP will be announced (but not released) that will support PS2 titles via download and have two analog sticks.
This is all complete speculation on my part and very likely dead wrong. It’s fun to speculate though!
