And that, is that.

nice race!!! Congratulations PS3 fans for the close win of your console!!!!

Kind of figured the PS3 would pull ahead for the last week.

Still pretty close. 360 did a very good job to shrink down PS3 lead so much. 360 is really seasonal now vs PS3, I wonder how this will impact MS strategy if at all.

So a good year relatively speaking for both PS3/360 HW and SW.

Will be interesting to see how MS spin it regarding their statement/boast/taunt earlier in the year. Close race in the end. I'd say it was nail-biting but that would imply that the rest of my life was pretty fucking boring.

Like expected PS3 won the last week.

The final GAP is ~300k (PS3 favor).

Totally agree.

Gratz to PS3, but gratz to XB360 too.     A little dig at bragging MS PR and just the minority of haters amongst the fans, but full gratz without any dig to hard working devs and faithful fans.

About your doubt, strategies, I'd say both should keep on their respective ways, sales suggest the different ones they found are very fitting for their products, maybe adopting the same they could end up damaging each other instead of benefitting themselves.

Anyhow, now I must be back drooling on the new year's PC games list, teh undead, d0m3d, home (to tell it from teh other undead, PSP, and teh two d0m3d ones, 3DS and PSV, that are all portable  ) gaming platform (*) is calling me!    http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=138465&page=1#

(*) to anticipate the obvious but legit question, confusion with Wii is warded off because the latter is d0m3d and home, but not undead.

Yeah man, that was cool to follow. Congrats to the PS3 on winning the year. 360 definitely made it interesting for a minute there. Now I wanna see where the dude who bet his VGC life on the 360 winning is...lol.

PS3 wins by 300k units this year, if there is no adjustment in the future of course.

PS3 won the hardware number this year but Xbox360 won in the financial numbers.
