Said this once and going to say it again, 360 is half the price and released a year before. NEVER write off the Playstation brand, especially when it is being outsold for a whole 3 months after a huge price cut by the competitor.

Wii has won, PS3 will easily take second place. Trust me on this, as soon as the PS3 gets a price drop and it outsells the 360 it will be "360 is doomed" and all that malarky, it's just a never ending cycle of hate. :(

Gotta ask this, for one strange reason it seems A LOT of people on this forum want the PS3 to die a miserable death. Why?

This is a very dillusional post. PS brand actually means very little now here in UK. Only this morning on BBc Radio 1 with Chris Moyles they were massively bigging up 360 and the Live service asking people for them to send in their Gamertags. And after about 10 mins some guest they had said, "yeah and Resistance 2 on PS3 is pretty good". Moyles and staff reacted " What? PS3, no they're rubbish. Stop talking now Michael"

4 years ago it was PS2 this and PS2 that. Here PS brand means nothing.

 

Right so some dude on BBC Radio liking the 360 means the PS brand is dead? Now THAT is extremely dillusional, my friends all know of the PS brand and dont care for the 360. Maybe it's because I am in an area in London where generally everyone is well off and can buy the best of the best. Of course there are many chavs in the UK so thats where all the 360 sales are coming from. ;)

 

That didn't sound conceited or pompus at all...

On topic; in the near future, the gap will hit 8 Million+, before the PS3 gets its rumored price cut in March of next year.  After that, it will recede again until E3, coming back down to ~7 million or so.  E3's announcements (and other game announcements/releases) will determine who wins the fall and holiday '09. 

Based on pure speculation and rumour, I'll guess Microsoft will have more tricks up their sleeves and announcements than Sony will next year, and will take the second Xmas in a row (and set an unprecedented 4th year of sales increase for a console).  Overall though, the 360 will never gain a lead of 10million or more.
