About this time last year, the PS3 was in the same spot as the 360 is today. It was on the edge of falling below 100k a week. Doomed-threads were being posted all over the interwebs. The 360 will get a nice boost on AW week, but after that its kind of slow for a while, so we'll probably see a 90k number soon enough.

The 360 has been outsold since the Slim release (Sept-May), lost the holiday sales, despite having a 199$ console it gets outsold, its in its 5th year on the market, the exclusives are far apart, its currently close to droping below the 100k mark, still no success in JP and is only on top in the US out of all regions.

Do you think the 360 has hit its peak, and is now slowly fading away?
Or do you think the 360 will survive just fine for another 4 years until the supposedly nextbox gets released?

Nah, I see way more of a dry spell currently on PS3 actually. After God of War 3 and Heavy Rain, PS3 really has nothing huge known upcoming but GT5, and Socom Move, both of which cannot compare to Reach. At least until they unveil stuff at E3.

 

 





GT is just the biggest Sony franchise of all time. And Gran Turismo is a bigger franchise then Halo. I cant remember Halo selling 14,5-15 Million Units with one title. 

Even if GT5 will be weaker then usual it will still sell atleast on par with Halo Reach. Both games should be around 10 Million Units LTD.
I am absolutely sure that GT5 will sell more units then Halo Reach in the end. Not as fast as Halo but steady like always. How can You say GT5 cant be compared to Halo Reach when GT5 is clearly the biggest Title for the PS3 since its release ? And noone would doubt that GT plays in the same league. Difference is that GT already showed way more muscles then Halo and Halo just started to play in the same league with halo 3.



BTW:

360 is not doomed its to late for it.
