I couldn't say for certain but a 200 dollar PS3 would give Sony a serious boost. And maybe it can use the unlimited usb memory stick or have a cheap small hard drive. 

You do have a point no doubt about it that the PS3 has some major depth in 2011, there are some great games coming out for it, but one thing your kinda ignoring is that Gears 3 is a proven bigger franchise than any game you just named this gen.  2 or 3 Megaton franchises CAN make a system sell better than 4 or so great franchises.

I'm sure MS hasn't even come close to revealing their full list of 2011 games and the exclusive game from Crytek Codename Kingdoms may end up being incredible.  Only time will tell.  

true. gears 3 will definatly outsell 2,3 of the ps3 exclusives next year combined. i think the winnder of 2011 will be the one whos pumping out the best software, well if their isnt a price cut. many people are starting to have two consoles, and i think that those are the people who are buying 30 to 40% of consoles currently.

Wanna bet ?? Has much a su want 360 will be year for 10 or MORE years... Even if its dont sell more than Wii or Ps3 or whatever Microsoft is winning money on the 360 so why stop selling it ??

What's interesting about this generation is that while Sony and Nintendo continue to market in a traditional way by letting rumors spread about new games and anouncing them years in advance, Microsoft has kept most of it's biggest Xbox 360 games secret until within a year or so. MS probably doesn't want next years games being talked about when they want everyone talking about this holiday season's big titles. I don't know which marketing strategy is better, but the reason you don't know many Xbox 360 games of 2011 and 2012 is becuase Microsoft doesn't want you to know about them. It's not becuase MS doesn't have anything, they just want you to buy Halo Reach, Fable 3, Kinect, etc. We pretty much know what Sony has planned, their won't be any surprised at retail next year for PS3, but MS has shown that they keep their best stuff under wraps untill they they want to show it. It may be a mystery, but you can bet that MS will have plenty coming out next year, just like they did this year and the years before.

isnt the star wars kinect game going to be a launch title?

true its all about tastes. but like godofwar3ever said the ps3 list has more variety.

"core" kinect games? until one releases it doesnt exist, hence the possibility of a core kinect game is slim to 0, mainly because kinect is their for the casual audience, and because it has limitations.

ok il bet, but if kinect sales the bet is off, since i said if kinect doesnt moves units. 

anyway il see you in 2015!

how about 2 year avatar/sig control?

4 years avatar and sig control.

deal, hopefully il be alive in 2019 to witness me or you getting back their avatar and sig.

this is interesting/ends sarcasm

PS3 isn't close to Wii so much as Wii has fallen down to PS3 level sales. PS3 is doing quite poorly too, remember that we're into August now and PS3 Slim was very widely known this time last year, and sales were very poor (93K, PS2 was nipping at it's heels). Being up 60% against last year's August sales is nothing to be happy about.

Wii is getting a slew of software in the short term, if they are big hits Wii will recover for a while. Any risk of Wii falling into third place again however will depend as ever on software, but tbh there's no reason to believe we won't have yet another drought after the holiday period this year.
