I think for the next 2 or even 3 weeks Xbox 360 will outsell PS3 in the US and possibly EU but after that Sony will be ahead until Gears 2 week where I think the sales will be close again or possibly the 360 could win that week too (remember I say possibly because all 4 of PS3s biggest holiday exclusives will have shipped which could keep PS3 ahead that week as well) but overall WW I think the PS3 will win altogether through Jan 1, 2009.

 

I think you give to much credit to LBP and SOCOM... as for racers Dirt is better than Motostrom by a long shot and Resistance is a better game then SOCOM.

(edit)  I will put in for PS3 getting hammered in number by the Wii and 360 this holiday... None of those games are system sellers and the price isn't where is should be... 360 should post Wii-like numbers this holiday season.

And.. You have caught my attention. Without even glancing to the left I already know that your post count/ knowledge is low. Opinions are one thing, but you fail to realize so many things.

First of all 360 stands no shot in Europe, was that a typo? You would know this because the sales are actually shown week by week on the front page. Also there was only a 360 price cut in America. The Euro-cut already happened and the 360 has been priced under the wii for some time there - only to still get continuously destroyed by the PS3 week after week. Europe alone gives an advantage of ~50,000 to sony in recent weeks.

Even in NA, (North America) where the 360 used to be king, the PS3 now reigns supreme. In NA, the 360 will get large boosts for a short period of time. (because of the price cut) But the sad fact is that will only be bringing it up to par for a short time WW (world wide).

PS3 Sales since Christmas of last year would disagree with your analysis.

Also, whether it is Socom or Resistance, both are PS exclusive, and Dirt is a multi-plat (multiple platform game).

So things that could help a pro 360 argument in your case would be Gears 2 and a price cut in NA.

But we know how the price cut will turn out eventually, since we have a direct example of the same price cut happening in Europe months ago. Bad.

 

@OP,

I think PS3 will edge out the 360 this week. Next 2 weeks after, the 360 should outsell the PS3. Lets hope for Microsofts sake, that it does.. otherwise what was the point.
