Also, if the PS3 manages to out sell the 360 they can thank their bluray player as it is the only reason people are buying the PS3 more this year. Most gamers are smart enough to understand the 360 has better games and only blind fanboys buy the PS3 on hope that the upcoming games will be amazing. By looking at the attach rates it is clearly evident that a lot of PS3 are just bought for the bluray(GTA4 attach rate for PS3 is low) and that means SONY loses out on the console just bought for bluray as they expect to gain their revenue from games bought(predominately). SONY is in big trouble. If RandC could barely sell a million I doubt any of these upcoming games will do better. Considering Resistance and Motorstorm were bundled just to save face and not be a dissappointment is pretty pathetic. MS on the other hand keeps increasing their profits, buying more exclusives, releasing new gaming innovations(x-mote), and releasing more content on XBLA(and gains more and more money from it too) while PS3 developers have to put millions more into development into a game that will have lower sales like how Gears of War > MGS4 in sales. As of now SONY is in deep trouble(Hell) while MS is picking it up(Heaven).

**Sigh**

29% - 360 owners bought GTA4
34% - Ps3 owners bought GTA4
I just disproved one of your points at the very beginning of your post. I dont think I should even read the rest...
EDIT - No I change my mind I'll go on.

Oh so the massive increase of hardware this last week was because of a blu-ray movie?
Most gamers are smart enough to understand the 360 has better games and only blind fanboys buy the PS3 on hope that the upcoming games will be amazing.
Is that why the 360 outsells Ps3 week in and week out and ahead in Europe and Japan.... oh wait... That's not the 360
and that means SONY loses out on the console just bought for bluray as they expect to gain their revenue from games bought(predominately).
Oh of course... They are only used as a blu-ray machine and no one buys games to offset the cost... wait... what about the blu-ray movies that people are buying? How did you ignore that?
If RandC could barely sell a million I doubt any of these upcoming games will do better.
You do know R&C was never a front loaded game... right... And you do realized that every other game had a re-release treatment... right? and you do know they released on a much bigger install base... right? And you do know Deadlock only sold 2mil.... right? Please tell me you knew these things and you just aren't THAT ignorant.
Considering Resistance and Motorstorm were bundled just to save face and not be a dissappointment is pretty pathetic.
Um... Resistance was only bundled in Europe. It was bundled from July 13th to Sept. but could hardly be found in Sept. 369k units were sold at that time (And I'm being generous here) 2.88 mil units of resistance has been sold.
That means the bundle only made up of 12% of sales.
Gears of War > MGS4 in sales
Um... how did you come to that conclusion? All we can compare is data we have at this point in time. And all we have is 1st week sales.... but MGS4 > GeoW there... and GeoW was released for Christmas
