If PS3 outsells 360, I highly doubt it'll be happening between mid-October and early January.

Why would you focus on such an old breakthrough (MS competing with the PS brand) when a more recent breakthrough is happening right now (the PS3 possibly catching the 360)?
Sure, the latter is a little old too, we saw that the PS3 was catching up since 2010. But it's still more relavent than something that was established in 2007/8

quoted for double the price at launch. Superior brand and ps2 be damned, 600 ain't gunna sell consoles. period.
Also, ps2 continued to sell more than half what 360 has sold this gen....so "superior brand and ps2" isn't a good argument when the ps2 is still there.
Should have waited for financials IMO.
Anyway, its quite something that they managed to close the gap despite all the fuck ups they did since launch... I guess it shows brand power. Despite so much, the PS brand is still stupidly strong in gaming.
MS played a pretty much perfect strategy. 1 Year + Head starts, best online, cheaper, stealing "exclusives", exclusive advertising for the biggest games, Kinect.
Sony did a shit. Late release, too expensive, shitty support, shitty PSN, losing previously PS centric franchises...
Yet the gap still closed.
Either way, 360 will be cut soon and Wii U will release later... Still more twists and turns.

Thats not our problem, thats Sony's mistake.
Yay!!!
It'll be fun to see how next gen starts.
What kind of disc format is 720 going with? BluRay?
| theprof00 said: No, that was half my point. My point was that, and you can read it again if you like, with every sale the ps3 makes the more that devs will consider going multiplat from 360 exclusive, and more exclusive when considering multiplat. Since the slim, and the dramatic slash in the gap, ps3 started raking in more and more games, and now is getting it's own dlc content, in Japan, FF13 was exclusive, lots of exclusive 360 games were then remade into ps3 exclusive international editions. Lots of Japanese companies were saying that they just made the 360 games exclusive, and then used the profits to make a better game for ps3 lol. |
Well, I'm confused by what your point was so I'm just going to stop.

I understand your point, but take what is being said into context.
It took quite long to happen. Launched at 600$ and a year later with roughly the same graphics.
Do you still think it's qft'worthy to say that it took a long time? Any other console would have sold 10m and died on the spot.

Fun fact: That's highly irrelevant to the topic |
Fun Fact: i forgot to mention how happy i am about the PS3 catching up.
So yeah, pretty awesome - but we will need to see what happens in the future, Microsoft still does insane in the Holiday Season, so i wonder if Sony can pull it off within the next 12 months.. hmh.
I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

here's a hint, you bolded the first half of the point, and didn't bold the second half, nor the first two lines of the post.
