As far as the HD console race goes. It is really to bad LBP got held up a week. I would have loved to see what it looked like if F2 and LBP could have faced off. Next week PS3 should close the gap in the US and mabye even have a shot at surpassing 360. With Motorstorm 2, and LBP sales should see a boost. Then 360 will win the next week with Gears 2. Hopefully they both see major boosts, and start to close the gap between the Wii.

So far the PS3 continues to stick tight to last year at this time. It should deffenatly hit 20M by the end of the year.

Or, more likely, both systems will sell about the same as they did this week, with a small (10-20%) boost as we continue to move towards the holidays. You'd think by now that everyone would have learned that hardware doesn't go through huge spikes for new releases. Software numbers go up and down frequently, hardware tends to stay pretty steady. The games that provide noticeable, sustained pushes (e.g. Halo 3) are very few and far between.

Also, kudos on quietly erasing your original 2008 prediction numbers, KBG. I believe they were something like 32m for Wii, 25m for PS3, right?

 

Ha already off by like 11 million and only gonna get worse.
