Is the 360 in trouble?

360 is actually selling better than expected.

The 360 only sold a little faster (although Halo 3 had less an effect than I expected, probably most Halo fans already upgraded due to the demise of the XBox) and the PS3 a little slower for the United States than I personally expected.

But there was also a lot more FUD and misinformation (US - Weapons of Mass destruction-style) floating around than I expected.

The presence of Devil May Cry, Resident Evil 5, GTA4 on Microsofts console makes it a lot more viable and can be considered a big blow for the PS3.

I think most people already foreseen this considering the titles and companies involved. Devil May Cry 3, Resident Evil 4 as well as GTA3 were all released for the PC, also RE4 was on the GameCube, GTA3 was on the XBox. IMO no major shockers there.

These are important games especially Grand Theft Auto 4, but IMO Gran Turismo 5, Final Fantasy XIII and Metal Gear Solid 4 is a much more powerful combination, all PS3 exclusives designed to get the most out of the platform (at least for the time being, adapting legacy game engines further or engines built from scratch for the system like the White Engine will evolve a lot further in the future).
