I honestly don't think analysts take games yet to be released and how much of an impact they will have into account when predicting sales figures.

But gamers rely on future games a little bit too much. Anybody remember Lair? Heavenly Sword? Not saying they are good games...just saying that sometimes we gamers hype up a game soo much that we believe they will become system sellers when in fact very little change occurs.

The best counterargument to people who think upcoming titles will completely change the race would be X360's performance. Although somewhat lacking in variety, most reasonable people admit that it has the best library of all this generation's consoles, yet the PS3, with the weakest library, is matching 360 in NA and overtaking it everywhere else.

Library is important, no doubt. And big releases will cause a short-term surge in unit sales, but they don't drive an entire year's worth of sales all on their own. There are many factors at play.

True, but PS3 sales have been boosted by the price cut as well.

But for how long? Sometimes there are situations where a bad start can haunt a system for the rest of its life you know...
