Yep hes right ... and lets dont forget , the GC has an awesome launch lineup , with Star Wars for ex. ( there is a huge SW fan comunity ) , while the only really exceptional game for the PS3 was RFOM ...

Ahhh, I remember thinking the exact same thing.  I played FFVII at an EBGames and thought there is no way anyone is going to buy that trash, the graphics were bad, it seemed like you only played maybe 1/3 of the time with the rest being FMV and load times, and the idea of a Final Fantasy not on a Nintendo console just didn't compute for me. 

I wasn't the best market analyst in those days, I also thought Madden would never sell year after year with just roster updates, Mortal Kombat would do better on the SNES since the graphics were better and who wants violence anyways, and that dual analog was an idiotic contol scheme when Goldeneye/Zelda/Mario played just fine with one.  My last terrible video game call was that GTAIII wouldn't sell well because who wants to run around killing cops, beating up people, and doing prostitutes? Well a heck of a lot more than I thought.

Anyways, more on topic, all I can saying to crying Sony fanboys is get used to the heartache from Nintendo fanboys.  Many Nintendo fanboys are itching to repay with interest the heartache Sony fanboys have casued them for the last 12 years.  The best advice I can give is do what I did late in the N64 days, grow up and get over it.

I have to agree your routine is getting more aggravating, and less entertaining as time goes on. Seriously if all your going to post is the same dribble every single time you post then why bother in the first place. The flaws in your logic have been explained to you dozens of times, and historical information has been presented to you. You even apparently ignore the data that is the hallmark of this very site.

You talk about PS3 momentum. Yes there is momentum in the general sense the Game Cube has momentum. Were you to have sold ten of something and sold just one more even if it was a hundred years later you would have momentum. The truth is that the PS3 momentum is a roller coaster. Sony cuts the prices, or introduces a bundle. Then suddenly sales rocket up for a couple weeks, and then the consoles sales slide back down to a base state. Usually shedding a quarter of the previous weeks sales in getting there each and every week

Anyone else feel we are seeing a diminishing return scenario in the PS3 when it comes to price slashing. The first one took nine months in North America. Then almost four months for the next price slash. Were the trend to continue we are actually due another price slash in December. Mark my words it will probably happen. Thats right we will be getting a $300 model three weeks before Christmas. I know poor humor, but I would not be shocked if it happens.

If the PS3 dropped to $300 in December Sony shareholders would go berserk. It would be 300 Sony Execs vs a million Shareholders, lol.

As Chadius said. Sony is in a tight pot; more price reductions, more angry shareholders; no more price reductions, angry possible customers.

lol I just read the first page and how people brutaly denied the ps3 would be even close to 360 World wide sales in the holidays,

Tough call for me to say. I think sales will increase, but its how much it will increase, will the 40gb be attractive? Or abandoned like the core 360?

Ya know, the Dreamcast dropped its price real quick too....That didn't mean it sold well during it's Christmas period.

IMO, the 40gb PS3 is a good move @ $400, but it's only putting a bandaid on the venom going through the PS3 (no uber-exclusives, weak 1st party games).

Sony has to keep the PS3 @ $400 for a long time. MS has had a huge advantage with their drops: keeping the price so high for so long built a strong precieved value in the hardware. When a price drop happened, sales skyrocketed. With Sony dropping the price twice so quick, I wonder if consumers might get the impression a drop to $300-350 might be looming, making them think "oh, Im just going to wait awhile longer".

Sony needs to make it's stand at $400. Save their cash, and dev more games, and focus on cheaper games that have a lower chance of crashing (no Lair-budget games), and try to take back that pitiful 4.5%-ish number of J-games coming to PS3.

According to VG chartz, didnt the Xbox360 sell even less consoles at this point in its lifecycle?

It had 4,900,000 sold. Maybe im looking at it wrong but it says on October 22nd 2006 the Xbox360 had 4,900,000 sold. Why do people keep bringing up sales for the PS3 to bash it even though their console was doing worse.
