Your holiday gaming outlook

http://blogs.cnet.com/8301-13506_1-9800502-17.html

360 has the best line-up this Christmas and PS3 has the weakest and they think it will outsell it!?!?!?

Funny how he says Mass Effect,an unproven IP,but from a reliable developer,won´t do much,but implies Haze and Drake´s Fortunes,also unproven IPs,but also from reliable developers,will make a lot of people buy PS3s...

I'm starting to think VG chartz is a better analyst team than most of these so called proffesionals.

 Can you be more specific, i have read some good predictions from thesource but i have also read some of the most foolish opinions ever on here.

 Even those foolish opinions (not counting leo-j's) are better than saying that PS3 will beat 360 during the holiday season.

The article started out well.. Then crashed 1/2 way through it.

It seems his basis for sales is which AAA titles are coming out. Well, I deserve a job because I to can see popular titles.

"And for all of those who weren't able to pick up a Wii, the Playstation 3 will be the next logical choice."

No explanation for that and I would disagree as the PS3 is more expensive than the 360. If you goto a store expecting to pay $250 would you A pay $280 (xbox arcade) B pay $350 (xbox premium) or C pay $400 (ps3 40g) ?

The PS3 predictions don't make any sense. Isn't the 360 just as affordable?
If what this guy was saying about parents choosing another console instead was true, we would have seen it last year, which NPD said we didn't. In fact, it was the DS that benefited from the lack of Wiis. I think parents are much more likely to drop $130 on a system instead of $400. Even if the parents were just looking to hold their kids over until they could get a Wii, it would still be cheaper to get both the DS and Wii than the low end PS3.

^Damn straight

This guy is talking out his ass and has just as many facts as Sony Execs.

Wait wait guys... Look hard at the title:

PS3: moderate (...)
360: mediocre

Can't you see the bias? Merriam Webster's dictionary will help you:

me·di·o·cre: of moderate or low quality, value, ability, or performance

EDIT - Also (emphasis mine):

And while I have some issues with the upcoming catalog of games (it's a bit weak), it's strong enough to justify people spending their cash on the device.
