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.

So now Sony is the little company that could?

Gotta love it!

While I know that comment wasn't aimed at me (I hope at least ), I'm not sure I understood what you meant.

Sony is a HUGE company.  When they came into the console industry it was seen as unfair because how could small companies like Nintendo and Sega compete with one of the biggest electronic companies in the world?  In the end Sega couldn't compete financially and Nintendo only managed by being able to remain profitable even when Playstation 1 and 2 stomped all over them in terms of sales.

Microsoft on the other hand was laughed at when they tried to enter the console market with the original Xbox.  The prevailing sense was that they could never compete with Sony.

Now you have people trying to portray Sony as the poor little underdog to the big bully Microsoft.  What a load of crap.
