I can't believe I just read that MS should be scared because of the black friday sales. There were 75k more PS3 sold than Xbox360... Oh no Xbox360 is doomed! (Remember there is still a 9 million gap in the US)
I think it is impressive for a console in its fifth year to sell 325k consoles @ black friday. Besides that, they won on the software front. Assassins Creed II, Left 4 Dead 2 and Modern Warfare 2 all on the X360 were the big winners.
But anyway, Sony has still GT5 to make its debut for this gen. This and God of War III are the last big IPs Sony has for this gen.
MS will release Natal and advertise the hell out of it. I say we might see a $200 or $250 Elite with Natal this time next year. (I still hope that Alan Wake will be a great success, but thats just me :D)
This gen is basically:
Wii Owns! But that's boring so we check MS vs Sony:
Xbox 360 rules America
Xbox 360 rules UK / scandinavia / Australia
PS3 rules Japan
PS3 rules continental Europe
Just by looking at these markets it is easy to say that the difference in sales won't be huge at all. They will end up more or less with the same amount of consoles. Maybe a 5 million difference (like 55 vs 60 million), but there is no publisher / developer that can afford to drop a 50 million userbase just for the fuck of it.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
