 Fact 2 - He was talking about the games in his comment, I hit back with games. I didnt even say anything about the technical side did I? nope.

Well, I actually was talking about both aspects. So He had a good point, which I agree.

Fact 7 - Goto Chartz than Hardware from launch. Compare current week PS3 is on versus the week the 360 had in its life. Also look at the fact that the PS3 is 50 weeks younger than the 360. Fluctuating gaps due to price drops before the holiday season does not make a sturdy ground to predict the future. What will happen if Sony drops the PS3 $100 this holiday and outsells the 360?

Comparing from launch is not always such a good idea. There are several reasons. When 360 was first launched, many people were sceptical and they wanted to wait until ps3 and wii were released, and then decide. When ps3 was released, people were already given all thats available, and the new generation had fully begun. Also Microsoft or Sony wouldnt care about "from launch sales", but current sales and we're not living in the past. They price their consoles with whats happening now. This is why 360 didnt get a price cut before 2008. The important thing about sales is the yearly gap, meaning which console is selling more each current year. So far, ps3 hasnt sold more than 360 in any year and the gap is increasing.
