Wow people really think that the PS3 and X360 will continue at the rate they are now you need to look at what is coming up in the game library the price cuts that will be here what attracts buyers dont just look at comparing this gen and last gen things have changed alot and it can only get better for the consumer(us) and dont expect sale trends to continue from now until the end of the gen.

No, some of us believe that the PS3 and 360 will sell less than they are selling now in a not too distant future. And rightly so, as that is what has historically happened to consoles that don't win the generation, no matter what games come out for them. This generation might come out different from every other in the past, but I'm hardly convinced of that yet.

Exactly, but the ps3 needs games though, people wanted the ps2 since it had the most games and the best games as well as a cheap price. Like I said before 40gb model will bring the ps3 way back to what the wii is selling at this point.

40GB model will kick serious @ss this Christmas if it comes or even if they lower the 60GB or 80GB to $399 which would be even better and then next month is when the games start to roll in and the no games argument is already wafer thin anyway and alot of the hate that was on the PS3 last month and the month before has left after E3 and everyone has relised that the PS3 isnt as bad as first thought. 

If the 20 GB model failed, what makes you think that the 40 GB model will make any difference? Price is only a barrier, and has nothing to do with the console itself. It's all about the games. The Playstation was $100 more expensive than the Nintendo 64, yet it defeated it. I think the Playstation 3 is doomed. Wii will win.

Because the 40GB will be priced at $399 same as the X360 Premium unless they drop the price $50 but then you still need to get a first game so another $50 so then there both $399 again but you get a free game with the PS3 and free Blu-Rays so its the better deal and if it comes out it will come out around Christmas and make the PS3 sell better because it is cheaper.
