wait, people actually think Microsoft is going to be bringing something to the table at E3? the only big announcement they've made for the platform in the last two years was Halo 4....and that'll be big, but it won't be a super mega seller.

I would go out on a limb and say that Battle Royale will push more consoles than Xbox 360...Battle Royale is new to the HD consoles, whereas all halo fans already have 360s.

If Halo 4 isn't a "super mega seller" then what is?  

I mean it's not gonna be pushing consoles.  the game will easily break 10 million sold, but I can't see it having a mega huge impact on console sales, as it's a fair assumption that all halo fans already have a 360 (what with 3, reach, ODST, and Wars)

and yet every COD game pushes a few 100k consoles extra every year.

And Halo Reach pushed a couple 100k consoles as well. Pretty much any game with a limited edition console will push consoles.

I am surprised xbox 360 still breathing considering PS3 owned the most populated regions in the world. Congrats PS3!

I believe that the gap in june will be around 120k in PlayStation 3 favor.

Still plenty time to turn it around.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Why do you people even bother, the gap is supposedly at 2.1 mil now, in a few months there could all be adjustments and the gap could end up being 2.8 million. The PS3 has lost anyway, it hasnt sold half what the PS2 has while the 360 has sold almost 3x the amount of the original. It also sold more games.

Shhhhh....don't be such a negative nelly. PS3 is winning now. That's all that matters. We live in the present, not the past.

A price cut could really help out PS3 sales. It is currently the most expensive console out of the three.

No. No. No, it's not.

Nintendo Wii = $140-150

MicroSoft X360 (250GB) = $300

Sony PlayStation 3 (160GB) = $250

Oh, you're counting something without a dark drive. Man, oh man, you are a fan boy aren't you. $90 is the cost for MS 60GB HDD, so that puts the cheapest system realistically at $290 (250GB @ $110). For the new S revision though 250GB is the smallest option at $100, so you're at $300 all over again. The 360 is by a large margin the most expensive console on the market.
