you prove a good point but the 360 is really lacking in japan and "other". over 60% of the 360's sales are in North America. the 360 sales in japan are almost non existant. And the ps3 has the bluray built right into it. if bluray beats the hd-dvd then the xbox 360 is done. plus the ps3 has beat the 360 world wide during the last four weeks. i dont even think they have a release date for fable 2 or halo wars.

Microsoft is really lacking in Japan but it makes up for it in North America, besides of all three regions that this site keeps up with Japan is the least important in sales. That most likely means that the XBox 360 vs PS 3 battle will come down to Europe where Sony will have to do much better to make up for what Microsoft gains in North America.

PS3 is a more advanced console, but if we learned anything from Sony's domination in the last generation and Wii's domination in this one its that having the 'best specs' in a console has little to nothing to do with how well you do. Blueray has beat the HD-DVD, but that doesn't help Sony out nearly as much as many people think, especially when XBox 360 is cheaper and has better online play to help make that up.

.

The PS3 beating XBox 360 for the last few weeks means nothing, especially by the small margin that PS3 has won buy. The XBox 360 vs PS3 battle isn't even remotely close to where we can predict a winner. When we see how well Halo Wars, Splinter Cell Conviction, and Fable 2 (among others) does for XBox 360 and how well Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, and Final Fantasy (among others) do for PS3, and how XBox 360's exclusive content for Grand Theft Auto 4 plays out then maybe then things will start to clear up.

 Japan is the least important of the three but it is still important. without japan the wii would still be in second place. because in the end all it will come down to, between the ps3 and the 360, is the small boost that japan will give the ps3. what the ps3 loses in America it makes up for in "other", and if its still a bit short then it has japan to give it that small but vital push over the 360.

 

if we wait for most of those games to come out to make a decision then we will be waiting for a while. they dont have a release date for halo wars or fable 2 or splinter cell conviction. the same with mgs4, killzone 2 and final fantasy. none have actual release date.
