Well, he is right about the 360, the closer we get to the release of Gears 3, the closer we get to the launch of the next xbox and the retirement of the 360. And, the Wii is a 6th gen console (albeit the strongest one) competing for the favor of people that have never been that much into gaming while losing a lot of longtime gamers that weren't raised on Nintendo.

Dude do you have to keep going on about Gears 3 and it being the end of the 360, you know nothing.

 

When they release Gears 3, what its? oh fuck we need to release the next xbox, we have nothing left ....

 

 

If they release Gears 3 on the current 360, they will have a much harder time selling the next xbox, and when your key game is headed towards your next console most other development starts to follow.

Of course, if they choose to keep the 360 on the market much longer the PS3 will overtake it by the end of 2010 as Sony will have a massive quantity of exclusive games on the way from first and second parties, Hideo Kojima, Sega, and Square while other than Halo and Gears the 360 really doesn't have any strong games and Gears really saved it last holiday season. Without Gears, the PS3 would have slaughtered the 360 during the holidays.

Oh ok this is where I stopped reading.

 

 

Well, that's nice to know that you didn't need to read the explanation why because a period there probably does suffice for some people.

 

Most people would stop reading there because it is an idiotic prediction!

The PS3 has been losing ground to the XBox 360 since it launched and unless it sees a price reduction that Sony can't afford 2009 will (probably) be the year when the PS3 loses the most ground to the XBox 360. Even if Sony holds their own through 2009, in 2010 they would need to sell 8 to 10 Million more units than the XBox 360 which Sony has no capacity to manufacture.
