360 without a doubt, 360 price cut, kinect price cut, halo 4, and MS' holiday specials on top of the price cut will just crush all the other consoles.

PS3 won't have a price cut, they are just getting profitable.


In addition they probally will not be able to, since their division isn't making a profit now that it has been merged with one that was leaking money.

Which division is that?

X360. I'd like to see SON¥ try another price cut.

i'll give the nod to ps3 once again. xbotters want to play games. when all you have is 99 kinect game and Halo you cant expect much. The biggest perhaps star wars is not coming til june. thats 6 months of pretty much ps3 domination sony will be up a million by then. ms is still dealing with fewer markets than sony along with anti-american and xenophobic ways in the ap/mea thats what youll get. the big question i have is about steel batallion. when and how well will it work with kinect. if it works great we could have a nice spike in kinect bundles.

I love how Sony fans are under the illusion that people buy consoles solely for exclusives. If you look at the sales charts for a moment you'll realize multiplat titles account for a vast majority of software sales on both HD platforms. Sony puts out more titles, but none of their titles are really deemed big system sellers. At least not when compared to Halo or Kinect.

The core Kinect games don't really matter. It'll definitely make the library more interesting. But its the casual stuff that really pushes Kinect. As long as it gets more dance and party games, maybe a price cut, it'll keep going strong.

You expect the Wii U to sell about 4 times the amount the Wii did in it's first year?

Dude, I expected the Wii you to sell like the gamecube, which was outperformed by both the PS2 and 360 and look where we are now. 

Honestly, and I cannot stress this enough, PERSONALLY I feel that Nintendo is gaining Apple like-status, people will buy whatever is thrown at them as long as it's branded nintendo. Anything is possible really.

ive been saying that forever.   the power of your system dont matter.   nintendo has fun fun characters that has lasted generations.  sony should have push lgp characters a little more than even unchartered.   give the people something kids would like.

ms is really going after that market with kinect. disney, kinect rush, sesame street... 



I believe Xbox 360 will win.

The 360 will undoubtfully get a pricecut.

I believe the ps3 will only get another psuedo pricecut during the holidays.

The ps3 has 0 big exclusive announced for this year. The Last of Us could indeed sell 3mil+ in the long run, but being a new ip, its initial sales will be rather low. 360 has Halo 4 which will push some sales with the right marketing and if 343 industries does a good job and makes a critically acclaimed game.

Halo, Star Wars Kinect, and probably Call of Duty will each have limited edition bundles that will probably sell 100k+ each. Kinect will be bigger again next year. I think microsoft supported it really well for the casuals this year, and word of mouth will lead to another huge holiday for it.

Console sales will diminish greatly in Japan. Won't really effect 360 in the great scheme of things, but ps3 will lose a good chunck of sales. The wii will no longer be stealing a lot of potential 360 customers next year. Enough dance games have been sold on kinect for word of mouth to work its magic. I think the 360 will become the party console of choice at least in America, and steal a big chunk of the Just Dance Wii crowd. 

PS3 has a few things going for it as well. I think twisted metal will be very successful in America. It will be able to build up a decent lead over the nonholiday months. But microsoft has won the casuals over, and they will continue supporting the 360 next holiday. Its just that Sony just won't have a chance if microsoft is able to shift more units in the last 3 months of the year than sony can in the first 9months again.

Sorry, your argument was horrible so I assumed Sony fan.

What were your reasons 360 lags behind? Xenophobic markets and no notable exclusives for months? I've been hearing that but it didn't stop 360 from winning 2011.

You can't flat out say "arabs and asians don't buy american shit." They've sold 5.6 million 360 units in the AP/MEA markets. Without those sales the PS3 would have surpassed the 360.
