The lead will never disappear. MS won't allow it, they taken their promise seriously and seems to always be one step ahead of Sony in every department. The 360 is about to get its second wave of big games after 2007. Plus Natal and the fact that MS can cut the price if they want means that this lead will be intact until 2012. Just imagine NPD sales for the 360 during the release of Halo Reach and Natal.

if the lead is always less than a year of sales,while the xbox had a year advantage and always cheaper,i dont consider it an accomplishment.

imo

As papflesje said, that is a fairly narrow viewpoint to take.

Make a comparison to the sales of each platform-holder's sixth generation machine and you'll see what I am saying.

360 lead over PS3 will fall to 4.5 million this year, but rise again to 6 million by the end of the year.

PS3 will not be any closer to the 360 by the end of the year. It will be like Ground hog day. De ja vu'.

PS3 is not zooming pass the 360 or crushing it in weekly sales on a regular basis. The boost from the PS3 Slim launch was just a rally due to consumers waiting for a cheaper price point of $299.

Three more big games left for the PS3: Final Fantasy XIII, God of War 3 and Gran Turismo 5. 360 has more games up its sleeve for second half of 2010: Halo: Reach, Fable 3, Alan Wake and possibly Gears of War 3. Price cuts in 2010, it has been two years since the last 360 price cuts. Natal launch in second half 2010.

Sony may have to delay Gran Turismo 5 launch until the second half of 2010 and reveal the second half games very soon. PS3 not expected to cut prices on SKUs but the 120GB could be replaced with 250GB and have the $299 price tag. Sounds familiar, Microsoft dropped the Pro 60GB and replaced it with the Elite with the $299 price tag in 2009.

It will be interesting to see how the sales battle between the 360 and PS3 unfolds in the second half of 2010.  Second half of 2009 turned around in a blink of an eye all due to the PS3 Slim launch. 360 is in the battle to win and it will not lay down and die.

 

you seem to have left out agent and last guardian.

Last Guardian will not, and Agent probably will not shift consoles.

At the end of the year the lead by 360 will be 4.5 mill max. Yea, great year for games on the 360 but non are system sellers. There is Halo reach but if you are into halo you already own a 360. A Wake Is the closest to a seller

god halo is so not the type of game i would play 

Yet about 3 x more people play Halo than GoW, so you're outnumbered.


What a crap arguement! 3x people play wii sport so by your thinking wii sport > halo?

In terms of sales and what it does for the system yes ... you do know wii sports is the highest selling game ever right?

Ps3 keeps outselling the xbox, so the gap should keep going down. Or up, if vgchartz keeps adjusting things.

All im pointing out is that 3x more people playing halo is not going to make joel12345 like it any more than GoW just as 3x (prob more) people playing wii sports than halo is not going to convince me or you its better than halo so being "outnumbered" is a crap arguement.

LOL, look at the thread title, unless he specifies he's talking about his own personal taste, I'll assume he's talking about which will be more successful.

Which i have done. Im no fool and if he thinks GoW will outsell reach, he is. But i dont think thats what he is saying, looks way more like personal choice to me.

Nah, first he picks at GoW3 not officially being announced, then at all the games mentioned in the OP. Was obvious he was trying to say that all the PS3 games will have a bigger effect than the 360 ones.
