from 7 million to 5.5 in less than a year even with no xmas sales its big, and games like ff13 or gt5 are yet to be released serious push hardware games..

 

Uh ... the PS3 has been on the market for more than one year, my friend. Since 2006. It's now 2008, and Sony will be going into it's 2nd COMPLETE christmas season. It experienced it's 1st complete christmas in all territories just last year. So it's taken them longer than a year to cut the lead down to 5.5 million.

The article is one sided and loaded with stuff I'd expect to hear from MikeB. If the 360 is a crumbling tower, it'll take Sony another couple years to bring it down completely. The only mystery left is how well LBP will perform for Sony, and if it will live up to being a true mascot in the vein of Mario or Master Chief.

 

The gap between the ps3 and 360 was around 7 million after the launch of Halo 3 last year.  Prior to that, the gap between the ps3 and 360 had only been growing. 

Since October of last year, the ps3 has shaved off almost 2 million units from the gap between it and the 360, and it is  this to which he is referring.
