| Chadius said: 3k difference is well within the margin of error. It's a statistical dead heat. Sony's problem right now is producing some feature/exclusive that the PS3 can use to really sell en masse. It needs to outsell the X360 in order to catch up to its userbase.
Edit: Minor typo, added last sentence. |
I think the problem is that they are tied now, and next year is the second full year of the PS3 and all the big releases are coming just as 2007 saw the xbox 360 powder ignited (halo, Bioshock, ME...)
I seriously wonder if so much hate against Sony came from the inner knowledge that the Xbox never took enough difference to seriously discard a competitively priced PS3.
Another interesting point that tends to be disregarded is price. In Spain you can get a new 360 premium+Gears of War for 300 EUR, whereas the PS3 with a game is around 430 EUR.
Still, as some here take as proof of our lack of knowledge in VG, PS3 sells much better. At the end of this generation we will see which countries are not getting it yet.
MS hasn't officially lowered its machine much, but in fact it is quite undercut from the 400/no game combo I got at launch day. It's about the same price of a Wii+game.
