which puts it around ....8 mil I think a post said a while back? In Nintendo's camp, the first week of November and especially Thanksgiving weekend should be pretty intense. I wonder if it will be enough to spur reevaluations from the remaining industry vets. It'll be telling regardless.
I personally think that Sony is on a sinking ship that is at least another 2 yrs in repair. First they have to dig themselves out, then they can finally try to compete. VGChartz releasing a press release about Sony passing 5 million isn't even laughable anymore. I just put my head down in disappointment and worry for what Sony is going to do. For those who don't like Sony, they still must admit that they did a lot for the growth of the industry with PS and PS2. And if Sony were ever completely defeated, then that will be another big lose for the industry, despite their arrogant show leading up to the PS3 release.
That rumor of Microsoft giving 360 up to EA also has some pretty big weight with all the movement. MS hasn't achieved their goal of using 360 to extend the media experience and capture the living room as quickly as they had hoped, but they still have succeeded thus far against Sony with a chance to finish the fight over the next year. I would be surprised to see Microsoft let that go after all the agonizing effort. If this were to happen though, I don't see it till after the holiday as EA would need a period to shift gears and rebuild consumer confidence with some big guns tailing for the holidays. Plus you don't want to confuse Consumers just before a holiday, which makes you wonder if Sony's many SKUs will help or if they could also hurt.
