Prove to me that the 360 is loosing steam. I hear this over and over again, the point of this thread was to say that during the busy season is when slow selling systems like the PS3 gain ground. During the slow season is when its important to gain ground especially when your 7 million units behind. If and that a BIG if ps3 sells hundreds of thousands more than the 360 during the slow season than I believe that the 360 is loosing steam. Right now all I see is what I've seen since the beginning of ps3 release, steady flow of 360 sales and holiday busy season/price drop ps3 sales boost.

No one is required to prove anything. Sounds more like its just that you can't bare to hear those kinds of opinions.

Yeah, we're talking about the states. The PS3 is indeed limping in there, it seems to me like the main region where people are willing to pull the plug on the PS3 and call it waste of time.

I find it pretty interesting that just because the 360 is dominating the US makes it already a lost cause everywhere else in the world. Like Japan, where the 360 is 1 million consoles behind the PS3, or in Europe where the margin has gone down a close gap of almost 1,5 consoles in between the PS3 and 360.

What I believe is that youre wrong judging the PS3's chance of surviving based on its status in the american homeland when in the other markets its making a good battle to maintain its presence with a optimistic forecast of actually succeeding.


 Ok, I will clarify. Like I said in my earlier comment the 360 has never slowed down in Others or anywhere else. The ps3 sped up in Others but nowhere near enough momentum to usurp the 7+ million lead of the 360 within the foreseeable future. Sure this may change, but anything short of a miracle swing, witch indeed is possible on Sony's part DURING the slow season is not enough. Just evening out in the market during the busy season will not give ps3 the lead. No need to explain this is simple arithmetic. And yes honestly to me Microsoft could be more aggressive with the 360 price point, but they are actually making money finally on their machine so they are going to wait till the last moment.
