last year at this time i cast necro on this thread, as i felt it fun to look at our past thoughts on the race. I will do the same again this, I hope i do not get banned, and that this thread does not get locked, as i feel it would be nice to see it once a yer till the generation is over
it has been an interesting year, the ps3 looks to close out the year within 1 million of where i thought it would be and the 360 underperformed due to poor management by ms. i had felt other changes needed to be done going into this holiday season, but ms seemed fine with last years sales points. i feel this years hard ware offering at current cost is a rip off especially the new elite and lack of a hard drive on the arcade, what should be the pro.
it seems as though they are bidding their time until next year with hopes that the natal and keep the prices high now so they do not have to be raised. I feel this is a foolish stratagy, unless the natal is sold at a major loss or packed into all hot selling games and consoles it will not reach a large enough attach to be a major concern no accessory really ever has unless this was done (dual shock/analog on the ps1 is the only one that comes to mind)
so my prediction it looks dire for the 360 to stay on top I had always felt 2012 would be the soonest any new generation console could come out right now it feels that unless one comes out in fall 2012 to end this generation the 360 will be passed that year.
though with the ebb and flow fo this gen who knows
its been fun to watch and read though
