It's really not hard to understand why the 360 is doing well. It's not fancy marketing. It's not just Halo 3, It's ALL the games.
This month's GameInformer magazine, for example, gave out three 9.75's. That almost never happens and they couldn't figure out which game to choose for game of the month easily!
What were the three games? Halo 3, Orange Box, and Mass Effect. What system has all 3? The 360.
Halo simply is at the spearhead of a wave of amazingly good games. And right now there is only one console that has them all: the 360.
Even the upcoming games that are multiplatform (Orange Box on PS3, Assasin's Creed, Rock Band, GHIII, etc.) don't help Sony much, because to date, history has shown that multi-platform games play better on the 360 than they do on the PS3. (Call of Duty, Madden, etc.)
The PS2 won the last round because of games, and the winner of this round will also be determined by games. Sony really needs some major exclusives, and more than one or two. They need to get back in the fight or...
Microsoft will finish the fight in 2008.
Gamers have 3 choices this generation: The Exercise Machine, the Movie Machine, or the Game Machine. What kind of gamer are you?
