A few problems:

-The PS3 dropped $200 in price, the 360 dropped like $30-50 or so (I'm not sure). The 360's price will drop more in 2008 than the PS3's price.

-This period includes the PS3's launch in Europe, that's a one time thing, not something that will be repeated in future years.

-How many weeks did the PS3 outsell the 360 worldwide? Maybe 11 weeks out of ~50. Aside from the Europe launch spike, 6 out of 50 weeks.

We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
