Real gamers will game on this:

^ Real small gamers, maybe.

u could be right real hardcore gamers will still buy a 360 if they already havent b/c it has good hardcore games like l4d2 and gears3 and all that

but i think the article is talking about this next price cut war it looks like the elite will go to 300 not the 250 some thought and the arcade will stay at 200 if this is the case then i bielive that most consumers will choose the slim over any 360 sku

why u ask? and why hasnt the arcade been included?

will lets include it now in 2007 the arcade was 280$ and the ps3 40gb was 400 the ps3 won that holiday season with over a 120$ price gap take thoose same mathamatics again now the arcade is 200$ and the slim is 300$ only 100$ more the slim will get u a 120HDD, bluray player, and rechargable controller  all things the arcade wont

the wii is the overall winner.
the xbox360 is the winner in america
the ps3 is the winner in europe

i have all 3 consoles, so i'm the winner worldwide. end of the story :D

Yeah really. VC is the first game I bought for my PS3. It came with MGS4 and KZ2. I haven't even opened MGS4 yet. I may eBay it or trade it in to Gamestop. Not mentioning Valkyria Chronciles should be punishable by caning. I say we send him to Singapore and let them deal with him.

Worse yet, we could send him to Ubisoft Singapore and let them do a shitty remake of him. Ben Dutka: Re-shelled. Considering how bad the original is, I tremble at the thought.

Sounds like the same fanboy old argument: games, reliability, blu-ray, da powa of the cell, free online. At least this time the PS3 is $300.

I love how half of the games mentioned are not even out yet. If he mentioned VC or Resistence, it would make too much sense!

I feel that since the 360 has more consoles sold, more "firends" are bound to have one, i.e more people will be better introduced to the 360 beforhand and therefor will have the 360 in mind when they finally enter the game store in pursuit of a console.

But i see what you're saying. If one were to do a clinical comparisson between the two. If someone were to buy his or her first console with no outside forces telling you what to buy, i'd say the consumer would probably go PS3 8/10 times. Just look at all the mag and site reviews pre-PS3 launch. Stuff, T3, M3, PCGamer, Newspapers, Engadget, Gizmodo etc.. most had the PS3 at 5 stars, while 360 was a 4 star. But look at were the 360 is now. Marketing and outside preasure goes along way.

I think you will probably see a shift towards the PS3 after the initial boost in sales, but I suspect that the XBox 360 will still be selling well enough to not really be able to justify this claim. The main way I expect Microsoft to "fight" the PS3 will be through their traditional holiday bundle, followed by agressive bundling in the new year ...
