i think this changes alot of things... august and september.could be the 1st months ps3 and 360 sales are neck and neck in america... the reason i say august and sep. is because thats when the games start rolling out....

There's only one sure-fire megaton hit in September, and it's coming to the 360. And the momentum building from September won't stop, so the PS3 HAS to close the gap sooner rather than later.

Do you mean GTAIV and "and it's coming to the 360 as well" or do you think Halo3 will outdo GTAIV?

Now that I think about it... it probably will, R* should've never wasted their time putting this game on the 360, it sure as hell would've(and still will, just not as many) moved PS3s.

Yes, I was talking about Halo 3, specifically, and it will outdo GTAIV on the PS3. Not sure about GTAIV combined 360+PS3. Halo is a guaranteed smash hit; probably will sell in the vicinity of two to three million copies before October hits. Then, October is complemented by GTAIV. And then the holiday season begins in November with a slew of titles, some which cater to casuals more (GHIII), not to mention a big JRPG for Japan.

So, the PS3 needs to close the gap in NA VERY quickly. We'll get an idea of the impact the sales have for the later half of July and all of August when the PS3 gets it's AAA title Lair. But, something tells me the momentum Microsoft will build for Halo 3 could be unconquerable for Sony. Name one Sony game that will outsell Halo 3 this year .................. if you can.

Edit: ckmlb, GTAIV is definitely a megaton, but the original post was referencing August and September, so I didn't mention the GTAIV bomb.
