Why do people think the 360 is vulnerable in sales?

Logic has no place on these forums... to be fair the PS3's increase is more dramatic... it was sucking ass last year untill the end. If it wasn't for the brand loyalty in Europe Sony wouldn't really be in this game.

 

 

In all fairness, the 360 would have failed if it was not for the US, and the US numbers shows this. Most people know that the demand for the PS3 is greater than the demand for the 360, this is because the PS3 sells very well at a much higher price point than the 360.

So if the price was reduced for the PS3 and SONY were able to meet demand, then there is no doubt that sales would explode, due to the greater demand.

 

 

But that isn't brand loyalty... The US is clearly choosing systems based on games... when ever exclusive AAA games come out you have spikes... Halo 3 and MGS4 are prime examples to this.  The 360 is dominating the PS3 in the US with careful planing and if not for the hardware issues who knows how well it would be doing now... perhaps in the 14m range with the Wii.  On the other hand... dispite the lack of exclusive games the PS3 did very well in Europe even before any big launches.  This shows that they had a brand loyalty that didn't follow gaming trends, but followed from the PS2 to the PS3.
