If 360's were pulled off the shelf for a year, you know, to even the time they've BOTH been selling.

The early launch is one of XBox 360's advantages. There is no way to have them on some equal playing feild becuase we would also have to change the hardware of the PS3 and their game library. The reason consumers pick one over the other are for reasons people want to remove. Early launch helps to get early adopters and 3rd parties (more long term then short term really). Price also attract consumers as does games and game library.

I will say that Microsoft will beat out Sony this year. Price drops are tempoary, and I think both hjave snagged mosty of the buyers waiting for a lower price, so a drop will not help very much. Also, Microsoft didn't do much better with the price drop, Sony did worse.

 

 

I actually agree, I don't believe Sony will outsell MS this year. If your talking about this generation as a whole though, thats another story. I think the PS3 will surpass the 360 in sales sometime during Q2-Q3 2010.
