The 360's sales are indeed increasing year-over-year, but the PS3's sales figures are increasing faster. The 360 price drop seems to be producing the usual pattern that the HD consoles have had surrounding price drops and big releases (a two-week boost followed by a crash and burn), so it is unlikely that the price drop can be counted on to produce a significant permanent sales boost.

Fortunately, the 360's inability to produce lasting sales boosts seems to hold just as true for the PS3. But if that continues, then the race will go to whoever is selling faster without the boosts, and right now that's the PS3. It will take time, since a price cut won't permanently increase either console's rate of sales, but given long enough it looks inevitable unless something VERY impressive happens.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
