Why the PS3 will ultimately succumb to the 360...

Just out of curiosity, why is this "modified" version of the original "why the 360 will succumb to the PS3" any more or less "fanboyish" than the original? The original was full of guesses, approximations, opinion, etc. I actually think it is amusing that he took the time to "flip" the argument to illustrate that point rather humorously. Here's a simple fact that I'm going to put in my signature cause I'm tired of saying it. The PS3 is currently behind the 360 by 6+ million consoles total. That means it will have to start outselling the 360 by about half a million consoles PER MONTH just to catch up. Assuming the 360 continues along on a 250K/month, that means the PS3 has to sell 750K/month or 5x what it does now and it needs to start immediately to make that happen... It certainly isn't going to happen through the end of this year. Maybe next?

All good points that fanboys will never understand! You're just wasting your time by trying to use logic.

 I know.  I keep trying but it's pointless.  I don't know why I do, but I have this thing where I can't stand idiotic arguments.  Sometimes I make my own, lol, but will own up to them if someone presents me hard data otherwise.

I didn't even add in my argument that the above analysis assumes that whatever Sony does to push it's console to outsell the 360 won't trigger a reaction from MS to keep that from happening -- i.e. price cuts, pack-ins, etc.  Imagine if MS took some of it's 1st part stuff and started giving it away in bundles for cheap prices...  Say a $299 premium bundled with a handful of first party games, a second controller, and a free live account -- say for 6 months or something along those lines.   They would sell a bundle, for sure... I can easily imagine seeing a 500K units/month averaged out on an annual basis.  That would then push the threshold for Sony to close the gap to 1 million units per month.

But again, no-one will listen to logic.  It just doesn't work for so many.  I'm clearly a biased fanboy who wants to see the PS3 go down, right?  (Actually I am going to get one soon, but that's not important here)
