its also only 120 pounds in uk compared to 250 pounds the 120gb ps3 costs, and people are wondering why the 360 sells so "well"
i mean you can get a 360 elite with two games and a 50$ giftcard for 299$, that means only ~170$ for the elite itself compared to the ps3 250 gb (349) its a great deal, that + shortages are the reason why the ps3 doesnt outsell it 100k every week
but it seems that the people here just cant see it..


Well you can pretty much bet there will be "PS3 shortages" in North America for the next few months since this pretty much guarantees the 360 will take April.  Year of the PS3 indeed, LOL, wait until Halo: Reach and Natal drop and Sony can't use the shortages excuse anymore.

wow, youre really in denial, huh?


It's not denial it's seeing what's coming.  In North America the 360 will cement its lead over the PS3 by the end of the year and the beginning of the end for the PS3 in Europe will begin.  LOL, maybe Japan will be able to keep two Sony consoles afloat.

I must have misunderstood what you were saying. I was under th eimpression by quoting "ps3 shortages" you are in a sense mocking it, being facecious if you will. And at the end you said "shortage excuse" implying it wasnt a legitimate, factual, objective, real problem with supply and demand as to why the sales figures are currently what they are.

Then in your response i forgot who i was responding to, its like youre a tea partier in this console war. Carry on waving that rhetoric flag and fighting the good fight.

They'll be all gone in a few hours. All 20 or 30 of them.



It has %11,900 increase, it was #120 yesterday and is #1. And it's less expensive than a DSi...lol.

Wow, thats kinda sad... well good luck with all that, I hope your happy by the end of the year with all your 'predictions' and here's hoping you get that job at Microsoft . I can't imagine any other reason for your hatred of Sony and your obsession with the 360 sales.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

And MSFT is still making a good penny on every one of them.

Media Markt here in Holland is selling the arcade for 111 euro's including Halo 3 ODST and Forza 3 now thats cheap! Offer only lasts for one hour though on the 5th of april.

 



Looks like the Arcades are about to be cleared out in favour of something else. What could that be?

MS really is gearing up for natal and the new slim model...I think we are almost guaranteed to Slim retail at $159 and a Slim + Natal for $199. This could be a massive christmas holiday.

See? they're gone. And it only took a couple of hours maybe less. It's back a $199 on Amazon, and it will shortly drop to the bottom of the sales list where it stays all the time...



why does everyone think its for the slim? why isnt it that they are just clearing up space for the bundles with natal?
