okay? You act as if HALO 4 is the only big game coming out..

news flash.. COD took over the FPS crown.. its the definitive fps game of this console generation whether anyone hates it or not..

and not only that but.. although HALO 4 IS A BIG TITLE.. sony has some big ip coming out for ps3 too.. and.. they may release a budget ps3 with all these PS collections they are announcing with HUGE ps franchises.. like god of war/Killzone/Uncharted/and more..

Gonna say no. MS plenty of stuff to push away Sony for a at least a while longer. Halo 4 will probably end up being the biggest exclusive this holiday if Wii U sells much better than expected, it'll have a little extra ammo in the form of Forza Horizon and the free to play Happy Wars, kinect is usually a decent seller this time of year and will have Fable Journey behind that, but the real deal with be MS' $99 console, that'll be the biggest attraction this holiday. Let's not forget the boost the 360 gets from a brand new Call of Duty game as well.



You dont know of any major titles.........um HALO 4?!?!

But this is actually 360s 4th year without a price cut. It has to happen now. That, plus Halo 4, means 360 will hold this year as well.

And people say this stuff doesnt matter, but they are blind. All fans associate themselves with the Gold, silver and bronze that their console/corporation holds. Nobody wants bronze......so the threads will continue until it happens.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

Maybe. I'm leaning towards yes because I'm feeling optimistic in favor of the PS3.



I believe that it will be pretty close this year.. probably less than 500k in gap. Goes either way.



Yay!!!

I'm going to say yes. While nobody on this site cares about wonderbook. Harry potter fans, and moms everywhere might care enough to give the PS3 the boost it needs to overtake xbox this holiday season... Unless Sony messes up the marketing like it usually does.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

Maybe. But who really cares?
A 6 year old system passing a 7 year old system in sales is a hollow victory.



Only with a new SKU and a heavy price drop. It will overtake it eventually but it'll be construed to be a lose-lose situation either way for Sony. Microsoft will sugar-coat it and say the 360 has more than tripled the the original Xbox and has changed the industry, and Sony will lament the money and market share they lost on the PS3.

I was just talking about exclusives, but ok. Halo 4 is the only real big blockbuster exclusive between ps3 and 360 this year. Sorry, but it's true.   



i dont see it happening, MS has halo 4 and kinect, and they market the hell out of the thing in the holiday seasons. i think MS will win the holiday season but its hard to tell if they win the year overall. but i think in 2013 the PS3 will destroy the 360 in terms of sales
