I'd say the 360 does, maybe not the Wii as of yet.

But Wii is still serving the 360's ass on a Silver Platter.

Why is this?

Perhaps because 3 AAA games can't make a console.

Gear of war was a big help for the Xbox360 in 2006, same for Halo3/Bioshock in 2007.

Well I wouldn't say it will sell better, it will do good as the 360. But it will be hard for Sony to surpass the 360 if the 360 contiunes to sell good numbers.

I think there will be a bundle 40GB with MGS4 in. =) Great deal. =)
Same will go with GT5. And probably with FFXIII. :)

PS3 will be unstoptable with so many great games in 2008.

But sales are unpredictable, like SMG in Japan, the big game Bombed.
Time will show, with variety of AAA games in 2008, sales definetely will go up, and don`t forget about STRONG BRAND.



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.

Really I don't think so, considering Microsoft is going to make price cuts, and find more ways to bring Xbox Live Arcade into the mix. So really price cuts are behind Microsoft. Sony might have the games for 2008, but how many of those are really going to release?
