@slowmo : Just a few fixes :

"DVD is ok since both the Wii and 360 use it for over 75% market share" : nice try, except the Wii has no multiple disks game, and it accounts for nearly 50% market share, which makes your whole point completely wrong. And yeah, multiple disks is so 1999.


"despair for Sony" : like this week or every week where they crush the 360 worldwide and even in NA now ? Well, I guess the 360 must be even more doomed these days then ?

"Natal" : NatEyeToy will sell exactly like Eyetoy, like the PS Wand, or maybe a bit more, which is... not so much anyway. It's a gimmick and a non factor. No gamer wants to jump in front of his TV, the grandmas and kids who liked that bought a Wii long ago, and it's now collecting dust. How MS could seriously believe copying Eyetoy would save the 360 and attract the casual crowd is beyond me. It has around zero chance of success, since even the Wii is already on its way down.

Natal will stay as one of their biggest failures ever, and their list is already long and pathetic, including Vista, yahoo bid, Zune, RROD or Xbox 1. Natal will probably be the last nail in the 360 coffin.

Hey MS, I've got a secret for you, the reason you're losing this war is because you lack AAA exclusives and studios compared to Sony. Look, that wasn't hard to guess, I predicted everything that is happening now a few years ago and explained Sony would win because of content. People buy consoles because of the games they can play on it. Go figure. Wow. 2 studios < 20 studios last time I checked.




Perhaps the fact there is so few games that use multiple disks on both systems prove Bluray isn't a necessity yet.  The point is DVD as a format is a more than valid solution this generation.

Didn't the PS3 lose out to the 360 in NA mere weeks after the huge price cut and new model launch, to me that is pretty bad for them in that region long term, how long did it take the PS3 to outsell the 360 last year in that region after its price cut?  I merely said that for every negative post about the PS3 I can post plenty of the PS3 too, the point is I don't see any relevance in them to the discussion.

You think Natal has zero chance of success, good for you.  You're entitled to your opinion, I would highlight you've created a very careful analysis of the product given the massive amount of time you've spent using it, oh hang on you haven't used it have you.  With such sound logic from you I think thats a moot debate.

MS have still sold more 360's than the PS3 and they've made more money this generation so how in the hell are they losing to Sony?  I'm sorry but you're coming across as a quite bitter individual with that last sentence.  Come back and claim your victory on the day the PS3 surpasses the 360, until then you're just being ignorant.

Please don't bother replying, I cannot be bothered arguing with such a close minded individual unwilling to grasp arguments in their full context they were posted.
