Yeah well GT5 will outsell Forza 3 10 to 1 in Japan and Final Fantasy XIII will break 2 million in Japan alone exclusively on PS3 during the holiday season.

      The PS3 outsold the 360 during Holiday 2007 with Uncharted and Ratchet while the 360 had Mass Effect and Halo 3 and ODST isn't going to be as big as Halo 3.

This topic makes a reference to dollars, it's regarding US sales only, which if you check, PS3 was still outsold in the USA despite the added "value" of

wi-fi - $100

Blu-ray player $400

Free online $300 (6 years?)

+20GB extra (back then $100)

So that was $50 more, for what would cost + $900 on 360

 

Break it down now

Wi-fi + 100

Blu-ray player $100

free online $200 (4 years)

0GB ($0)

 

So for $0 more,  you only get an extra $300 of "value". The extra $50 was more worthwhile back then...plus you had other games like Heavenly Sword and Lair as well as Uncharted and Ratchet. So the lineups even less impressive this year.

 

And it's not just Xbox 360, but Wii as well. Since in terms of value, there's no reason for the PS3 to be outsold anywhere in the world by any other platform right? Even at $400 this was true, so why didn't it? Because Nintendo and MS have something Sony doesn't. Killer 5-10+ million sellers people want to play.
