Sorry it is too late for the PS3 to catch up. Have you see the software sales in the US chart that ended 12/13! Gears 2, COD WAW, Fallout 3, Fable 2, and L4D are the blockbusters of the year.

The x360 has most of the hardcore gamer, has the price advantage, has Live, heavy marketing. How can PS3 compete with that?

GT5 will outsell Wii on Opening week! Hahaha, please, that is like saying the Detroit Lions will beat the Ny Giants.

Three shooters, a shooter-RPG and an RPG.

Okay, the hardcore gamer thing. It has a larger userbase, yes. But that is caused by the other three things.

Price Advantage: Hence the price cut. Obviously, without a price cut, the 360 will destroy the PS3 next year...

Live: It costs money and PSN becomes better with every patch.

Heavy Marketing: I agree. Sony needs to step up their advertising.

How can the PS3 compete with that? By cutting the price, improving PSN and advertising more. Not difficult.

EDIT: You do know that the PS3 beat the Wii on MGS4's launch week, right? Are you saying that GT5 has less sales potential than MGS4?
