The difference is huge and the xbox360 is selling much better on a weekly basis .Why the hell would fifa help the ps3 ?? Anyway we'll probably get official numbers at the end of the year (we always do with the U.K) and these will show how silly this discussion is.

I was in London at the beginning of this month and went both to HVM (oxford street) and GAME and the xbox presence in retail is huge compared to the ps3.

Are you even thinking that through, if you think MS only has 1 high profile game next year you're wrong.

Games like LBp2, K3, Infamous 2 ect are not going to sway the competition, it's such an absurd thing to say.

And lmao at the italicised bit, software the same in America? You need to go recheck those numbers, 360 is over 130 million games ahead there. Also has the highest attach rate there.

Okay fair enough, i wasnt aware of the 130 mil lead, my point was based on cmeese47 said, its logical that this is the case because of the 10mil lead in US. sadly you are right, how ever many awards or perfect scores those games get its unlikely they will sway the competition. however i think we're in for a few supprises next year!!

yes i think that Gears is the only HIGH profile game coming to the 360 next year, the only other thing would be Forza 4 Kinect or Halo Reach ODST; nothing else has been announced. the gladiator thing you mentioned is based on a hack n slash market which is no where near the strenght of the FPS on the 360.

Nowhere has Kingdoms been called a hack n slash to my knowledge. XCOM is from the Bioshock team, and we've yet to see what 343 industries are up to, it might be something bigger than we think. Of course 3rd party games can't be ruled out, whichever they are. If you think MS are going from May to Dec with no top tier exclusives then I don't know what to say, if they can't get one from a first party, they'll get one from a third, they've never gone a holiday season since 2006 without one.

I dont think xbox 360 will have a lead of 6 million by the end of this year. GT5 will sell consoles im sure. And sony has to be dumb not to bundle it with consoles. I think 360 will end up having a lead of maybe 4.5-5.5 million by the end of this year. And 5 million difference is not much anyways. Lets face it 360 came out a year earlier so it is natural for it to be ahead throughout this gen. The wii is a special case because well it was cheaper and was the "cool" thing to buy.

oh wait im going off topic. Anyways it might be possible. Blu ray sales are increasing every year. The ps3 price is decreasing every 1-2 years. Ps3 so far has the best line up for 2011. I dont think the 360 will even come close to the number of quality games ps3 will have next year. All those games might actually sell a bunch of consoles. Imagine the PS3 going $200-$250 next year too! Either way people who don't own a ps3 will be missing out. Luckily i own both 360/ps3 :)

I assumed being based on a gladiator thing it would be hack n slash, either way i suppose it could be the big release for holiday 2010. i think MS have said the Kinect will increase the 360 lifespan another 5 years, so i take it that means a LOT of their releases next year will be based around kinect. and probabily more shooters.

although i have no idea, we'll see how things go next year, i think we might get a few supprises from both companies, kinect pre orders are high apparently, it will be interesting to see what software sells well on it!!

Well the PS3 will be dead sooner then most think. I give it two years tops..Sony is rumored to be burning the midnight oil hoping to get their Next Gen PS4 out alittle before MS's Next Gen console this time.. So i love all the speculation by too-blindly-loyal Sony fans that somehow someway everyone in the world is going to change their mind and go buy a PS3 just because (insert reason here) .. Yeah you're right PS3 is getting cheaper, problem is Xbox 360 is getting cheaper too.. Blu-ray is selling decent, but going by sales trends - it will never outsell DVD players or have the market share that DVD had in its peak ? Why ?? Its a different world.. Digital downloads are taking over, the optical business model is changing.. Someone important in the indistry recently said if customers have to choose between convience and better quality, they'll go with CONVIENCE.  I order 720P movies all the time on cable.. people use redbox and all sorts of media outlets that didnt exist back in DVD's hay-day.. the Music industry just 4 years ago still sold most music on disc.. but not anymore.. now downloads have overtaken media.. Is media dead - not by a long shot- but this is a trend that only a fool would ignore.. Most cable internet providers are only increasing ( you're seeing doubling and tripling ) download speeds over the next few years.. which means no waiting.. GT will likely sell millions, but it wont be anywhere near PS3's #1 seller COD MW2 ( 8.1 million units sold lifetime ) and it'll be NOWHERE near the console pushing Halo Reach ( that did 4.1 million in only FIVE days )

I understand but to some people quality is actually more important than convenience. I think blu ray will sell along side with digital media. The net xbox for sure will have a blu ray drive too. Anyways im not a a blind sony fan. Im not even a microsoft fan. However im supporting sony a little bit more this gen because imo they released a better quality product just like last gen i supported microsoft with the original xbox. Either way o own both ps3/xbox so it doesn't matter in the end of the day.
