PS3 is already a commercial failure in every aspect. Sony has already suffered irrecuperable losses with it along the years (just recently Sony managed to have some margin of profit over each unit sold).
That alone would be disastrous. If you take into account the fact that Sony held the virtual monopoly of consoles with PS2, it just aggravates the disappointing sales of PS3. So, EVEN IF it manages to outsell the 360 by the end of this generation (which is not a certainty whatsoever), it is still one of the biggest commercial flops in videogame history.
Oh yeah, before I forget, I own both a 360 AND a PS3.

Whats your point, from a quality stand point is better value then the 360 in almost every way, and everyone has had a console flop even nintendo bottom line is it's a far better choose then the 360 and the only reason the 360 is outselling it is because it was cheap and people are idiots

Choosing the machine that plays the games a person wants doesn't make them an "idiot". No matter how much you think the PS3 is a better value the fact is it doesn't have Gears of War, Halo, Fable etc. People who want those games chose the console that has them, just like people who want God or War 3 and GT5 chose the PS3, some paid the outragiously overpriced $600 launch price. A person's taste does not make them an "idiot". Have a little repect for other peoples opinions.

I disagree.
I do not respect the opinion of an idiot.
What's an idiot? An idiot is someone who goes out and buys a product knowing that its egregiously failure prone.
I myself considered an XBOX 360 in late 2008, but when I heard about the breakage (50% of every owner since 2005has had a broken 360), there was no way I would buy one. My parents taught me better....its common sense really.
Its like, when did people become so simple minded and foolish? When was it ok to put your hand in a proverbial fire to get burned over and over and over again? That's simpleminded logic even a pre kinder gardener can understand....literally.

So all Xbox 360 owners are idiots? Thats about as simpleminded a statement as your pre-kindergartener analogy.
With Microsoft's hassle free and FREE repair service nobody got burned in any "proverbial" fire after the retro active three warrenty was instituted. Microsoft has bent over backwards to solve the problem including the three year service plans on all replacement units. That means if you keep having issues they'll keep fixing it for free and restarting your warrent plan. Who else doesn't that? Not Sony and while it doesn't make headlines the PS3 has its fair share of failures with no extended warrenty, just an expensive repair service.
Halo is a top quality series worth playing and as someone who owns an Xbox 360 that has never broken down I can tell you that you should not be afraid of an overstated unvarified failure rate. Besides Halo there are plenty of exclusives worth playing that as a gamer you should want to play. Personly I think all 3rd party games should be multiplatform, but that is besides the point.
I'm not going to insult you or anyone who differs in opinion though. My parents taught me better, it's common courtesy really.

Wow you are really uninformed, at launch the failrate was closer to 68% then 50% and right now it's around 40% overall (counting all consoles ever sold, new models only would be better) as for the extended warranty it only cover half of all failures not to mention the disk scratching problem and if it wasn't for the warrenty they would of had to do a full recall and no it didn't restart your plan it was 90 days extra if it expired in that 90 days, the fact that they had so many millions of failrates made them not really look twice though, and someones opinion is what makes them an idiot, if they are one, so why would I respect it when I know it's wrong
