Not really, that $500 mill is strewn across 5 Q's and is sensationalised, Nintendo spend more than $500 mill advertising the Wii most years .. it's not really that much. That at PS3 had GT5 which was obviously popular in Europe. Dunno what you expected Fable and Halo to do ..

Link? I've not seen that said before.

And Fable/Halo are MS's 2 biggest franchises. Big games releasing = More advertising for the system due to those games. Both system sellers (even if minimal) with bundling.

Add in a Slim redesign, and the launch of the fastest selling electronic device ever...

All in the space of a Year... While the PS3 had GT5 and Move.

It's surprising that the PS3 outshipped the 360, despite Slim, Fable, Halo and Kinect... Along with a $500 Million advertising budget.


No really, the ps3 was supposed to leave ther 360 in its wake by now wasnt it?  A HUGE number of exclusive releases have colme and gone, the very succesful MOVE is here and and the might of the sony marketing machine that pretty much beats any other on the planet is constantly in our faces.

Underlined - lolwut?

And no. It was likely that the PS3 wasn't going to outship the 360 in the last Year due to the things I listed above, which is what your thread is about.
