If you seriously think about it, Sony had a horrid year last year. The first 3+ months were supply constrained for M$ so that hurt them a lot in the sales department. If they had the supply thing worked out in early 08 I think M$ would have an additional 500k- 1M sales. So things could have been much worse for Sony.
As for Sony outselling M$ for the year, it is all but imppossible. Trouble in the economic sector for nearly everyone + major corporate downward spiral for Sony = Very ruff year ahead.
M$ has a greater chance of outselling the Wii this Christmas (not going to happen) than Sony beating the 360 for the year.

3+ months?

My cousin and a couple others I know tried to buy a 360 (locally) between Feb and March and ended up having to buy them online at amazon. So yea I would say atleast 3 months. Atleast in my region.

So you and your cousin had trouble finding one around your hometown/place and this is the basis for the reasoning that the PS3 has no chance of outselling the 360 this year?
Everyone is talking about the economy and pricing, with a pricecut, this would become a non factor, like it did with the 360 last year. Or is it just MS who gain advantages with pricecuts? I just don't understand the way some of you are thinking, is all.
