I'm really enjoying Forza Racing 3 right now, and GT PSP.....so the only game I can say I'll be buying on my PS3 is GT5, can't wait for that.. but I doubt I'll be missing anything else.

But its not the fairest assessment.  We could go back and forth about what the fairest assessment is.  For instance, based on EXPECTATIONS, the PS3 was expected to blow away the 360 and Wii prior to launch.  People were calling it the Dreamcast 2.  And that makes sense, as the previous Playstation consoles were not only market leaders but DOMINATED with sales of over 100 million consoles each.  So wouldn't being fair include that the underdog 360 has impressed by not only outselling its predecessor immensely but by NOT giving up any lead to the 3rd console of the Playstation legacy?

That's why I stated what I stated before:  they are both selling good right now, so why take pot shots at them?  The PS3, as the 3rd place console, will shortly have sold better than any 2nd place console before it.  This gen has been an impressive feat overall.  As gamers, isn't that what we should be excited about?

If the 360 didn't have a year head start the ps3 would already have outsold it, if you take away the 360s sales of the last year ps3 is way ahead, it's a small miracle the 360 was able to even keep it's lead with it's fallrate and lack of decent exclusives MS really downplayed the fallrate and managed to make people think multiplats were exclusive the 360 does not sell on merit 

Actually no, sales from November 2006 (PS3 launch day) 360 is ahead with some units not much but they are ahead. And if its any company that pulled of a miracle it was Sony, PS3 probably had the worst first 2 years out of any console from the big 3.

Wow unknown soul, lots of typos. Fallrate?

I agree with mundus6, Sony really pulled the PS3 through those first couple years, and managed to turn almost every third party 360 exclusive into a timed release, yet Microsoft hasn't be able to do the same back. Oblivion, Bioshock, Star Ocean, Ninja Gaiden 2, Tales of Vesperia, and even Mass Effect 2 now, all timed exclusives. Also didn't PS3 start off with a $600 price tag and a severe lack of first party exclusives? Resistance was good, but Lair and Heavenly Sword were not, and basically until Uncharted 1, I don't think Sony had anything really that amazing. Even then I don't think the PS3 had any unforgetable titles until Metal Gear Solid 4 came out, and wasn't that in April 2008? It didn't even have a trophy system then.

As for my comment on the 360 re-establishing it's peak lead, I think if Kinect takes off the 360 will definatly re-establish it's peak lead. It won't hold it, but for a period of time it will re-establish it. If Kinect fails, or just does as well as Move then I bet the 360 will still get a 6.5-7 million unit lead by the end of the year, which isn't bad.

I will start off by saying that on an year to year basis the PS3 is outselling the 360. The PS3 came out a full year later and as a result started the race with a huge gap between it and the 360, so if it had outsold the xbox by now it would mean the 360 was absolute crap and should be burned.but in actuality both systems are giving each other stiff competition. I think the PS3 will outsell the 360 in life time sales tho since sony seems to support their last gen tech for a long time, i mean look Ps2s are still selling new in large quanities.So if given the same number of years to count sales like 5 years for the xbox and 5 years for the PS3 i think the PS3 will win by a very small margin
