That's pretty surprising, I would have thought Peter Moore would mean that EA backs 360 more (lead platform, that sort of thing).

Anyone who thinks the 360 will stay ahead is a blind fanboy.

Haha, unless you and the rest of SDF "invest" in another 10 PS3's EACH, it ain't happening. It will happen eventually though (mid-late 09 would be the earliest).

This thread = Blind fanboy.

The Xbox360 will outsell the PS3 2nd half of this year world wide.

May as well go against the grain eh?

Reasons?

1. Awesome games that cater to a different audience this year (JRPG/RPG) and not shooters. Different audience = different market to sell to = more sales.
2. They can make a price cut and still be profitiable.
3. They are in the next best position behind Nintendo to utilize motion controls. Because A, they have one foot firmly set in the mouse dominated PC world. B, They have launched 3 hardware SKUs so they can be flexible and modify their offerings to suit the market, C. They can afford it.
4. They look like they are going to update their console lineup @ E3 so they can raise the specs to compete better with the PS3 technically. Wifi/HDD size etc.
5. They haven't had a price cut recently in North America, yet they're still going strong so they have the chance to grab the Sub $299 market share before Sony gets there in North America.
6. Come Jasper RROD will be a distant memory.
7. They don't have to raise their sales by much to beat the PS3 week on week averages and if they win this years Holidays substantially the PS3 will never recover.

@Squilliam,
IF in 2nd half of this year there will be available 299$ costing PS3 40GB with Full BC SLIM, what you gonna say then? =)

Too Human - Haze
Fable 2 - just like mass effect(won`t move hw)
Gears 2 - Resistance 2
Banjo 3 - LBP
??? - Motorstorm:PR
IU, ToV, LR - jrpgs on x360 doesn`t move HW

PS3 has what to offer against x360.
x360 has NOTHING BIG to offer against ps3. Not enough big games.
And for now, PS3 outselling x360 WW.

Probably the PS3. Brand worldwide vs 360 is more likely to make the difference in the long run. But unless Sony pulls off a corker of a turnaround it will still have lost ground vs previous gen while MS will have gained ground even when 360 WW sales are below PS3.

The 360 fired all its best shots last year and the PS3 still managed to outsell the X360 by 1 million consoles for 2007. In 2008 the PS3 has a better game lineup and the PS3 will sell like 6 million consoles more than the X360 in the second half of 2008.

In the long run it'll be the PS3, that's what I think.

Hardly matters.

Seems its a MS / Sony battle for the first runners up position.

I'd say: " I hope Sony gets a good price when Microsoft buys them out"

Because, they would lose so much money they may as well step out of games consoles as a bad idea.

Besides this I wasn't talking about games matching games, I was talking about games matching the market conditions.

There haven't been many RPG games this generation, especially WRPG - so the 360 can clean up here because theres NO competion. I didn't even consider games like GOW2, I don't even like the series so im not going to consider it in any discussion about the Xbox360.

Wide variety of games like - Age of Conan - Huxley - Sacred 2 - Fable 2 - Fallout 3 all tapping the WRPG market. They have JRPG games - for people who want them, if they do then they will buy them and the console to go with it. The wide variety of multi-plat games which can be enjoyed for cheaper than the PS3 for the exact same game.

Its all here.
