i think they are doing this to ensure that 360 sales will keep up with ps3's sales when the next generation starts so ps3 doesnt pass the 360 in sales ltd

You're right, they so give a shit about that.

The only ones who actually care about the ltd sales anymore are the fanboys and believers(Who have been believing since 2006). Although it's nice to see the sales, the novelty has worn off now, seeing as this gen is 7 years in now.

I would imagine they would want to sell as much of their product to people as they can.  PS3 has been around a year after 360, there's no excuse for a competior to over-take them, considering PS3's history..  They don't care about how many numbers sony are pushing, but, they still want their own numbers to be good, and if their numbers are lower than Sony's, then, it's simply not good enough.

Then, there's also things like exclusives...  I had to wait an extra year for Tekken 6 just so xbox could get a port of the game.  And, this is after I waited a year for the arcade version..  So many missed opprotunities with the PS3, because it failed to capitalize.

You say it's nice to see the sales, yet, how do you think it is to look at those sales, and think about the profit you're getting from those sales?  Fans aren't getting money, the corps are.  So, obviously they do care..
