Is the 360 in trouble?

Personally I feel that every single copy of GTA4 sold for 360 is an absolute victory for Microsoft. It's a slap in the face for Sony. It also prevents Sony from an extreme boost in console sales. I think without a 360 GTA4 version PS3 could have seen at least 2 million extra consoles sold.

I think it's way too dramatic to assume that the 360 could be dead by Jan 2009. Even when hardware sales decline dramatically (there's no sign to that, currently the track higher than last year) the software sales are heroic.

Like I said above, Microsoft doesn't need to beat the PS3 to be successful.

Yes but the PS3 has to beat the 360 to be successful!

 Even if the PS3 passes the 360, it won't be successful because it will never catch the Wii and it will never have the sales or market share of the PS2 or PS1 for that matter.

@Rock On, are you serious. The PS3 is not going to sell 100 million consoles generation. The only place were the PS3 may be able to match the PS2 or PS1 is Europe. It won't be as successful in Japan. It may sell 6 or 7 million consoles there lifetime if they are lucky. Its not going to sell 40 million plus consoles in the US either. Where are you getting this 100 million estimation from, I'm curious.
