PS3 vs 360

Kojima said MGS 4 is staying on PS3 for good, a possible spin off or something on 360 or anything else? I will not predict on that.

 

The PS3 will still not sell crazy even when Lair, Heavenly Sword come out but they will sell more when they do hit the market. I don't think it's gonna start selling in really high numbers till there is a price drop and this isn't as horrible as people make it to be, if in the long run (a year from now or 2) PS3 hits the price where people will pick it up then it will start selling very well. The 360 is far from being too far ahead to catch up to for the PS3 even if this situation continues till these holidays or to 08.

About the elite sellouts, how many of them were put on the market anyway? The black elite is supposed to be a limtied edition so I don't think that many were there to be bought in the first place...

If things continue as they are now I still see PS3 being in second place after the Wii and ahead of the 360 worldwide, in the US is still unclear between the two consoles in the long run. 

 

Many good points. I know the Elite is not a limited edition, but I don't think it was mass-produced this month. I think it will be a permanent SKU, but they are trying to gauge the sell-thru of the console. My guess would be they might've produced 100,000 for it's initial release.

Sony still is a big name in the video game world, so I do believe once the consumer price starts dropping, the sales will pick up. I want to see next gen offerings of Team ICO and GoW so bad. Shadow of the Colossus is one of my favorite games, and I am about to play through GoW2 soon. And I think it was big news when the 360 lost 3 exclusives recently.
