Its time to admit it. PS3 will NEVER overtake 360.

The PS3 will surely overtake the 360 LTD, the main question is if its before or after the "next box" is released.

I say thsi with confidence only because of the strength of EU and Japan combined with the fact the PS3 still has price cut boosts left.....

Im not so sure the spike in America is really due to the $150 model to be hones of the, i thought it was, but we have two weeks of increasing numbers....th eonly reason it could increase a second week was the availability of the slim, not a big software bump.

Lol @ bolded, underlined, and italicized.

MS just added features and kept the price the same.  Once Kinect and Move launch, the bundle costs will likely make the overall console purchase more expensive than they are now.  This means both consoles will still have plenty of price cut boosts left as well as feature added boosts.

I think it is far more likely that these 2 consoles will keep swapping momentums until the end of the generation and the 360 will end up being ~5-6 million ahead of the PS3.  This is because of the year head start among other things.

Well, we aree both entitled to our opinion. When the PS3 began selling for $299 WW last year compared to a $299 and $199 xbox we see where WW sales end up.

Because of this i feel when the PS3 drops to $249 and $199 it will eat up a lot of space. Granted there are unknown variables......based on Kinect it could be easier or more difficult for Sony.

But i really think its  amatter of time...because who decides the end of the generation? Thats why i said its only whether it will be before or after one company introduces a new console.

As of now the PS3 will get a decent chunk boost in Japan and Others from GT....a pretty good boost for FFV13.

The holidays will be very important, but we essentially know the two companies hands right now. Kinect and Halo vs Move and GT. There shouldnt be too many surprises this holiday but i still stand by my opinion that its still only a matter of time only because the PS3 has never been MSRP'd for less than $299 yet the xbox is currently MSRP'd for $150.....

Only time will tell, we can debate until we are red in the face but we will have a better idea post Kinect/Move.
