After I said "360 always got a bigger boost" I also wrote (I think). It's key not to edit that line out. I was correct for every year except 2009 (and I'm not sure about 2007 because I dunno which week BF was). I already justified my reasoning.

As for being affordable.

The arguement for 2009 was Not Affordable--->Price Cut/Slim-----> Affordable, more reliable (not first gen), and sexy. Many sexy new IP's around the corner

The arguement for 2011 is Affordable for 2 years, with lots of great games released with sequals------>Wii U announced, speculation on an upcoming PS4------> More Affordable, but few new IP's releasing.

Get the logic? A smaller price cut, on an already affordable console, this late into the consoles lifetime, especially with very few new IP's releasing...won't boost as many consoles as it did in 2009, when thoughts on the PS3 were more skeptical.

Also, didn't Blu-Ray just eliminate HD dvd in 2008 or 2009? At that point in time, people were also finally thinking of getting a Blu-Ray player and not worrying about getting the wrong device.

I don't wanna spend anymore time on VGC...trying to cut back....wah... yea i'm not here all day. i'm on WWE.COM

People who buy consoles now, don't have any "must have" titles. They buy a 360 for Halo, and PS3 for Uncharted, and it's likely they will want to start their consoles life with the older games. 5 cheap games bundled in the console will likely entice new console buyers more then the newest version of 1 or two of those franchises. meh not to sure about that

Sony will have a good January/February, MS will likely break even for March, then who knows. yea

For faith. I feel Kinect will push sales in Novemeber/December because it's a casual add on, and like Wii Fit and the Wii, sales tend to jump in November/December. well i can except feel but i don't like that either. i feel nothing concerning this areguement. its all bout what i see. the proof. the facts vidence to support the claim. for every argument theres a counter until you both agree or say we arn't going to agree and agree to drop it, but thats not an issue for us. we've agreed allot more then most would think as a core 360fand PS3, PC fan would normaly. i also saw your arguing about black friday, but looking at the numbers other then 09 your right but wht makes it a pointless argument is that 360 only outsold PS3 by 1m on 1 of those friday's and that was in 07. when you can cut a gap from 1m to a few 100k then you've done something. 

50-100k was for all 4 consoles. The White PS3 of the mid summer also came with a hard drive boost, and November isn't the Japanese holiday season like it is elsewhere. Also many people interested in a coloured PS3, may have gotten a coloured PS3 in a previous limited edition coloured release, so adding colours now should be less dramatic. not sure about that. i'm sure its never the same colours.

History can repeat itself. Every time CoD launches, 360 gets better sales, again, except for 2009, and 2007 because CoD wasn't big then. 

now i flip the same coin i did in our last discution about this. history doesn't have to or always repeat its self. BF3 was a sure shot at majorly boosting 360 hardware more then PS3's, but we both saw what happened and got egged for it. and it always sell better on 360, but PS3 got the bigger boost this time.

i'm not doubting 360 will have a more significant boost then PS3 but over time COD on PS3 has become a more recognisable brand. take a look at the sells chartz for last wk and the ones that are up now. the only version of COD you see in the top 50 is the PS3 version, and its up wk over wk significantly. again i look at whats infront of me. average it out by what i know about it. and the come to a conclusion. and that conculsion with a rapedly closing gap. i'm not talking about the hardware gap. i'm talking about the softeware. the gape use to be about 6m i think in favor of 360 when concerning cod. but like everything else that gap continues to close and with both the console and software gap being less then 3m how can you think the 360 will outright have this boost over the PS3 version.

your using sound logic but you not taking everything and accounting for it. i guess that my job? if this was 07-08-10 then we wouldn't even be discussing this. but this is 2011 and most of all the software released multiplatform in the past is showing better legs on PS3.

if you tell me those leg don't mean sells when MW3 releases then you'd only be half right.

I already answered your first question. Black Friday is a US sales event, where sales of consoles increase in the USA only. 360 is nearly twice as popular in this region as PS3, so naturally Black Friday should boost 360 sales more then PS3, even if the PS3 sees a greater % gain, t's weekly sales are far too much below 360's to match the boost 360 gets.

As for which will sell better, there are arguements/facotrs for both, and I agree with many of our points. However XBLG will soon get basic TV, and as of recently (this fall) 360 has seen more exclusives (Halo: CEA, Forza 4, Gears 3, Kinect Sports S2, Just Dance 2, + Kinect Shovelware vs. Uncharted 3 and Resistance 3). MS always pushes harder in the fall on a software front.

And he forgot to mention R&C too

But it will be bundled soon so no worries ;)
