you all seem to forget the xbox360 is longer on the market. (xbox360 since 22 nov '05 & PS3 since 11 nov '06) if you look at the same life span, the PS3 OUTSOLD the xbox360 by 3,9 millions. with the very strong lineup where is coming on PS3, i don't think the gap will melt in favour of the 360 where also has a strong line up to come but as some of you already mentioned, the games are mostly sequels where already make an appearence this gen -> no big HW sellers. on the PS3 it's different with GOW3, GT5, FF13, R&C etc...

• GoW 3 - true!
• GT5 --> GT5p
• FF13 --> multiplat (except Japan)
• R&C --> sequel http://www.vgchartz.com/games/index.php?name=Ratchet+&keyword=&console=PS3&region=All&developer=&publisher=&genre=&boxart=Both&results=50&order=Hits

lifespan argument was proven wrong so many times, but I don't blame you, you are new on VGC. The Dreamcast had a headstart as well.

 

Have you seen GT4P's sales compared to GT4 itself? Take a look if you haven't.

 

FF13 = Exclusive in Japan, where it'll have a strong impact. That's why he mentioned it.

 

As for R&C, that's true. I guess he mentioned it because the PS3 has a lot more momentum now compared to back then.
