Seriously I'm getting tired of the price drop excuse. The 360 is still cheaper to get than the PS3. And most stores are giving $100 discount as we speak. No console has better deals, cheaper deals than the 360 right now.

Ugh America does not equal the world psrock, for goodness sakes.

X360 may have $100 gift card deals (a $50 giftcard deal on PS3 is on par given it has had a $50 price cut) but the PS3 has been cut world over, the X360 hasn't. Sure it's getting deals in some of those places, but so is the PS3.

This Wii is also cheaper than X360 and it's not outselling it ... I would say you should stop thinking price is such a determining factor and Kinect is worthless, but it'd fall on deaf ears as per.

Well in PS3s defense, everywhere but in the united states 360 is actually cheaper (yes the 250gb non kinect model). Sure its cheaper in united states too if you count the other models, but we all know this is the main model.  Price is a huge factor, if 360 would lower price by $50 on all models the sales would skyrocket.

That said i think M$ has been doing the best job with their console throughout the hole generation, got the best games early and always kept the attach ratio high. Sure Wii has sold a lot more, but how many games have the Wii sold per unit?

Sony has better first party though, i give them that, but it is only really relevant at the start of the generation, if you haven't picked up a PS3 by now chances are 1 game is not gonna change your mind. Early when there are not many games to play this is a huge factor, in fact i bought PS3 only because of MGS4. In retrospect a huge mistake and since i already had 360 and the game was a dissapointment. Now there have been a few games i gotten on PS3 that was exclusive, but when there are about 20 games every year i want to play and i got time for maybe 10 i miss a lot of games. 9 out of 10 games i want are on both platforms so...
