honestly i think the 360 has been doing spectacular,that said,i think the 360 will see a pretty big drop in sales compared to 2007,in 2007 they had so many games to look forward to,halo 3,Bioshock,Mass Effect ect. Since the 360 has so many of its flagship titles out...there 2008 lineup is really lacking,therefore i predict it will affect the 360 sales,maybe not drastically....but i doubt the 360 will sell as well this year.

 

I agree. I love my 360 and all but I am already seeing limitations to what the actual system itself can do. Hell... even the new update made consoles slower. Everything has to load now. They did use up their best games. They have some good ones coming out but the rest are just old PC games. The hardware in the PS3 is crazy good and people are just starting to tap into its capabilities as a system.

I think folks *may* tap into the PS3's potential, but I'll put the good money on believing devs will see no real need to even go there. If you can get paid doing one job with lil effort vs. doing another job with a much greater effort, I would bet you'd pick the job with lil effort. Especially, when you realize the job with lil effort pays you the same and your rate of return is much, much larger vs. the other job. Devs and publishers could care less about which console has the better attach rate. They want to see the bottom line - how many games are moving ... and that's it.

Yeah, some devs will focus more and more on the PS3 and develop for it, but if they can get paid on the 360, they know the system, then the 360 will get the better ports of games. That's not fanboyism ... that's just common sense.
