Those PS3 numbers in the states...it's the one missing key from ensuring second place in weekly sales.

Still, overall it's a tie, and I'm happy for every console.

What could Sony do?? they dont have half a billion to spend like Microsoft did. at least PS3 is competively doing well despite the price and marketing advantages of the other 2 home consoles.

Sony's marketing expenses for 2009 were ~5 Billion.  So ten times what Microsoft spent on Kinect.

Obviously Sony has to spread those marketing dollars out over a lot of products, but please stop pretending like poor little old Sony couldn't do anything.

We don't know thier marketing budget for the PS3 and Move but even if we were to find out that it was less than Microsoft, let's remember that that was Sony's choice to not spend thier marketing dolars thier, not a lack of marketing dollars.

That being said, and before I'm considered a hater, I live in the states, and I just took advantage of the $50 gift card at amazon to buy my 2nd PS3 (to replace my 60GB that I lent to a nephew).  So I'm doing my part (but still think 360 has America in the bag going forward).

As always, your posting is appreciated.
