When the MS supply issue is resolved

There are a few factors to consider:

First, the 360 is being eeked out in places and folks buy it. Some places haven't gotten shipments in weeks. MS is creating a demand, much like Ninny does with the Wii, and then will roll out the newer, reliable ones with a price cut as well.

Second, folks are rushing out and buying the best Blu Ray player on the market after the victor has been declared. Maybe they'll buy games for it later ... but right now, they are buying just Blu Ray movies.

Third, it's tax time. And folks are also getting rebate checks - $600 to $1,200 and beyond ... and folks have decided to take the plunge.

With the Sony domination, all I want to see is - the attach rates. If it's not going up, yeah, the PS3 is selling, but not as a console as much as the best Blu Ray player on the market.



I wonder if the recent news of the new model will slow down sales for the next few months (People waiting to buy a PS3 until MGS PS3 Bundle in June)

Then we got GTA4 which I'm sure will sell consoles...A shame Sony didn't do anything for GTA4, I'm sure Sony could have stole a lot of sales if they offered a GTA4 bundle



its hard to accurately predict, but i will guess uhm from here on out ;)


@Maddskillz - your sig is way too busy , and for no real reason. nothing to do with yourself or video games. but uh yeah Chapelle is cool and you like Facebook OH OH dont forget , red sauce on pasta, that is SO FUNNY - congratulations on being such an annoying attention whore

I think give or take a few weeks the PS3 will outsell the 360 from here until the end of this generation, and if in game xmb ever actually arrives, by quite a bit

so youre saying that the ps3 outselling the 360 depends on in game xmb....


No I think it will outsell it regardless, but it will outsell it by more if in game xmb happens. I think cross game chat and custom soundtracks are quite important to a lot of people.



Yes
