Does Microsoft not now that GT5 will be released this holiday? And that it will probably sell more than any 360 exclusive? Then again, it's just PR talk...

Whoa!

How is this going to be a tough for Sony exactly? They're literally in almost the same position they are last year. They still have a PS3 at 299 and they have GT5 coming out this Holiday. And if i remember correctly the PS3 beat down the 360 last Christmas.

Now here's the funny part, MS is in almost the exact same position as well. Except we don't have a confirmation of a new Arcade unit at 199 (and it would be stupid not to have a console at 199 for MS). And I'm sorry but i don't see an accessory moving that many consoles for them (Same deal for Sony with Move). So this is basically a repeat of last year and I honestly don't expect a ton of people to rush out and buy a new 360 just because it's redesigned.

If it's going to be tough for one company this year, I think it's Microsoft.

No, they know that it will and Halo and Call of Duty games are just bigger ...if only games in those series were being released in 2010.

I doubt gran turismo sells more than 8 million copies.

I do think that this holiday season is going to be very interesting because, unlike Microsoft, I think sales as of right now can go in favor of any of the big three

sales are going to be interesting to watch this Fall

If only mainline games in COD and Halo hadn't already been released.

The top selling exclusive game of last generation on home consoles was Gran Turismo 3. (Yeah GTA:SA is but that went multiplat eventually)

I hope that adds perspective to things.

Worst E3 ever for MS, for core gaming, very mediocre and eventless E3 for Sony as well, best E3 every for any company, for Nintendo, so it's no mystery who "won" the real question is, who "lost?"

That would be Microsoft. They should have sold me a little on the redesign. I don't see why I should buy it.

Halo Reach is main line. And regardless of how you see CoD:BO, World At Wars perfomance shows they have little to worry about.

And what are the top selling exclusive games of this generation?

Lol, yeah the M$ guy was very unconvincing. he spent more time trashing the other consoles than explaining why they won E3. Reggie and the sony bloke were on the other hand very convincing and confident and actully said what was good about their shows rather than trashing the competition.
