why does it matter that it launched a year earlier? the library is the same no matter how you look at it

 

It matters because games like Madden, Pro Evo, FIFA, NBA Live, Ridge Racer 6 and a shitload of others are counted as a part of the 360's game library. All or most of these games have newer installments that have been released on PS3/Wii.

@nightsruge - I completely agree. Now you are acknowledging that the price point is indeed a HUGE factor in why 360 is outselling PS3. Drop the Pro model to that $200 dollar level and PS3 will be falling back even faster than it is now.

Yep price point is a factor.  And I'm glad you agree with me that it has nothing to do with "how much cheaper the 360 is" and more to do with that magical $200 price point.  The 360 has almost always been $200 cheaper except for when Sony had their big cut, so why would being $200 cheaper only affect recent sales?  Because that finally breached the $200 threshold
