For all you doom and gloom people out there  consider this for a second. What does 360 have to offer after Gears 3 launches? The answer at the moment is nothing, they will be reliant on 3rd party sales. Sony on the other hand has a huge list of 2011 titles and will likely have a price cut to fall back on should they need to. Yes the 360s and price drop hurt Sony in the hardware race but this is the first week in quite a while 360 outsold PS3 in software. 

Long term outlook Sony> Microsoft

Short Term outlook Microsoft>Sony and Nintendo

First of all I don't think MS wants to take any focus away from Reach's launch. You can be assured there are some games being developed specifically for the 360 that will be coming out after Gears 3. Next year's E3 will be full of announcements. If you think about last year at this time we knew about Reach but there was no info about it, Gears 3 was still a rumor as was Fable III. MS just doesn't announce games quite as early as Sony.

Ugh, sickens me ot see people keep buying that Madden crap year after year.. On the plus side, Starcraft 2 is doing well.

Anyway, what it appears is going to happen in the long term as far as the 3 major consoles is that, aside from the holiday (where Nintendo will get the largest boost), and during a huge release (where the HD consoles are likely to get more of a boost), all 3 consoles will be selling extremely close from here on out, at a virtual tie. Once the dust settles on the 360 slim and the holidays are over, it will probably settle to something like Wii > PS3 > 360, but all three will be VERY close.

I put 360 slightly in last because in the long term their lineup looks very weak compared  to Sony and Nintendo. They didn't even announce any new core games at E3. They are essentially banking on Kinect to be a success (it won't), and the bottom will then fall out from their core market as they will be in a position where they have few core games and their Kinect games nobody will buy.

So Fail in ONE single post... haha


im sick if people disrespecting others for no reason. how does it have so much fail? you said that halo reach is going to move millions! 

you remind me of reach and his infamous 12 million prediction for reach after 10 weeks.

Care to explain why?

What I said is ALREADY basically coming to fuition. The only reason the 360 is separated from the other two currently is because of the slim boost. But once that wears off, all three consoles will likely be very close in weekly sales, besides the holidays (which will favor Nintendo) and the weeks of huge releases (which will usually favor the HD consoles).

dont mind him, since e3 their have been some new users coming and boasting in. obviously he still doesnt know about sales and thinks that the numbers the 360 is doing is what it has been doing all year.

Yeah, some people for whatever reason seem to have a hard time seeing beyond the short term sales #s.

o.O
i never noticed that. but its still true, after e3 many people came here like reach and they are disrespectful.

it also doesnt change the fact that he is disrespectful, since when has metalic been here, he laughed at him, said his post was a fail without giving a reason. i may be new but atleast i respect my elders! lol :P

Interesting fact

2010 v 2008 ytd comparisons...

Wii down about 2.7m

360 PS3 up about 2.8m  (360 1.45m PS3 1.35m)

 


looks like 360 could be up 3m by year end to 08 putting its total at 14 million for 2010, and ps3 up 3m as well from 08 would be 12.7 million. wii will probably be down 5 million putting it at 19.4 million.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Xbox 360 - AMAZING

PS3 - Very Good

Wii - Very Poor

DS - Godly

PSP - lawl lawl lawl
