Wow ... there's a 14K difference between the PS3 and 360. Does the difference mean the PS3 is thriving then? Be honest, why do you hate the 360? Did one bite you in a dark alley once? Did the RROD blind you?

MS dominates the PC market anyhow ... I disabled Windows Media Player on EVER copy of Windows I have ever installed ... no biggie ... 



Interesting.

I hate MS and therefore 360 by default and the fact it has nothing besides shooters(yes it has some other games i know but they are all subpar and its best games are shooters) which i prefer on PC.



That's it, its allllll over for Microsoft!




 

That 14k difference will grow steadily during the year. You will see by this holiday how much it outsells the 360



Wow, this thread got waaayy out of control really fast. leaving now

 Nobody said anything that drastic, but it is bad news no matter how you look at it.  If MS wants todo business in the Eu which i assume it does, i has to cut the BS that the US lets them get away with like monopolizing markets and making it difficult for competitors as well as developers from writing software and all the other BS they pull.
