Will PS3 eventually pass 360?

Eventually yes but only after the Xbox 3 already has launched, and by then not many people will care.

2011 will be pretty much status quo in sales (12-13 million each for PS3 and X360). Both consoles will drop $50 down to $250 (Xbox 360 250Gb will drop to $200 in Europe and the Arcade is even cheaper) so neither one will get a price advantage. And the broader worldwide popularity of Playstation will be offset by the Kinect boost.

If hardware is a stalemate, it will be the 1st party games that make the differance.  Do you think MS can compete with Sony in that, i sure don't.

Funny because MS hasn't announced their full 2011 lineup, and Forza 4, Gears 3, a likely timed exclusive Mass Effect 3, and a rumored Halo remake among other games sound like one hell of a fall lineup. I think software will be pretty equal, especially considering how many people considered 2010 to be a PS3 favoring year by software, and sales are likley to end withing 500k (still in PS3's favor).

Funny i have yet to see you not side with MS in any thread.  Yes nice fall line up, what about the rest of the year ?

MS 3/4 games are nice but very lacking compared to Sonys.

Uncharted 3
Killzone3
Twisted Metal
Resistance
Motorstorm
Infamous 2
Move Heroes
LBP2
Ratchet and CLank
Socom
Last Guardien (if the gaming gods are kind)

 

And how many of those games will be released in 2011? I really doubt Sony will release all their shooter brands (Uncharted, Resistance, SOCOM, and Killzone) in the same year (this is the same logic as to why Gears 3 was pushed back), and games like Last Guardian have been delayed repeatedly. Also the only new IP is Move Heros, do you think sequels will push consoles that much?

Still you gave a list of 11 games, at least 6 will score above 9/10, and are blockbuster titles.

For 360 we have Mass Effect 3 (likely a timed exclusive if not a full exclusive), Gears 3, Forza 4, Kingdoms, Huxley, Prey 2, XCOM, Project Dragon (likely Panzer Dragoon-Kinect), Steel Batallion (Kinect), Dead Island, Dungeon Hero, and Mechwarrior. Not to mention there are rumors of a Halo remake, and in the past 2 years MS has always announced at least 1 mega title late (Forza 3, Gears 2 in the past), and MS could announce anything for the Kinect. Either way I have named 11 confirmed exclusive 360 titles, along with at least 1 very likely rumored game, and 1 likely timed exclusive. Of those confirmed pure exclusive games, at least 5 will score above 9/10, and are blockbuster titles. A possible Halo, or Mass Effect exclusive will balance that though.

Now you may argue that you never heard of these 360 games, but Forza, Huxley, and Dungeon Hero are all first party developed, and Gears 3 is first party published. Kingdoms is an exclusive from Crytek, and Prey 2 is a sequel to an existing 360 game which scored 9/10 and above on most websites. Se we know those are all good. Mechwarrior, XCOM, Panzer Dragoon, and Steel Batallion are all revivals of old franchises just like Twisted Metal and technically The Last Guardian are. So any of those could go either way, and Dead Island could be anything, but the trailer is awesome.

So don't hate the 360 lineup just because the games haven't been hyped for years, or aren't all sequels to existing franchises. At least MS is finally releasing some new IPs.

As I have shown, software is about the same fo PS3/360. It depends on preference, and we still dunno what Sony will do for the Move and MS will do for Kinect. So there is no real reason to beleive the PS3 or 360 will sell noticably more then the other, they should be roughly on par for 2011, which will make it very difficult for the PS3 to surpass the 360 in the years beyond.

P.S. I side for whichever console is being unfairly put down. I have yet to see you not put down the 360, so thats why you always see me stand up for it.
