Yet ps3 has had major price drops in its first year, while 360 had a meek 50 buck price drop in almost 30 months.

360 has plenty of options just as well

Like I said PS3 is doing good.  It took a $200 price cut, 4 SKUs, some excellent titles at Christmas (R&C, CoD4, UT III, Drake), the promise of MGS4, FF XIII, Resistance 2, LBP, GT5, continued Home Vaporware showings, a blu-ray win, but they are now doing good.

What more can they do in the immediate term?  I don't think much. 

Meanwhile 360 has stayed steady, and is over delivering over expectations for this year.  For the past few months these forums have been filled with "Sony Domination in 2008" and 360 has nothing...  If Sony domination is outselling the 360 between 10K-50K consoles each week, I think most 360 owners will say who cares? 

Especially, when Gears of War 2, Banjo Kazooie 3, Too Human, Left 4 Dead, Ninja Gaiden II, GTA IV delivers the first of two episodic editions, and Halo Wars brings RTS games onto consoles for good this year.  Yes, Sony will have GT5 (maybe this year), MGS4, KZ2 (maybe this year), Haze, Tekken 6 (maybe this year), Resistance 2, LBP (Looks very creative and innovative), and of course FF XIII, among others.  The point, is, Microsoft will deliver just as good an experience even with Sony, taking out all the big guns this year  (But, all this is just recycled releases from what was supposed to ship last year outside of Resistance 2).

 Yet the 360 is cheaper and still can't outsell the PS3.  So a cheaper console with many great game(Halo 3, GEoW, Mass Effect) can't outsell a more expensive console with mediocre games?  Wow if you ask me that's pretty bad.  It isn't over for the 360 since MS won't drop it and they have the funds to keep it alive.

And this is why ps3 fanboys piss everyone off.

Next time 360 outsells ps3 im going to create a million threads going OMG PS3 IS DEAD SOMG.

You understand that price drops....formats dieing...etc all will boost game sales right?

wasnt the price cut just $100 on 2 skus? it doesnt make sence to add em together. 

and what can ms do in the immediate term? not much either...oh wait, they can screw all x360 arcade owners with gtiv dlc. tough luck to those who bought an arcade and want the dlc. looks like your cost saving was short lived as you have to go out and buy a hd for your 360. wait, they've already been screwing the arcade owners coz a lot of 360 games needs a hd. way to go microsoft!

Once it does it for twelve or thirteen weeks, then yeah, go ahead!  LOL!

You want to know how many months of the year last year 360 outsold ps3 LOL =)

I love how the tables have turned, and you're banking on price drops to sell the system... How the mighty have fallen.

ROFL..Ever single person in here remembers the ps3 fanboys crys of how we should just wait till all the uber games were coming out for ps3 and it would save it. Guess what did? Price drops.

Well I have news for you, the gap is only getting bigger between the two.  At first, PS3 was only outselling 360 by five to ten thousand per week, and now it's doing ~50k weekly.  And this has happened over the course of twelve weeks.  At this rate, by summer, it could be outselling 360 by 100k weekly, and by fall, it could be outselling 360 by 150k weekly.  I don't think that that'll happen, but I do believe that before Summer ends, the PS3 will be outselling the 360 routinely (as it already is) by about 100-120k.  And I have every expectation that theh PS3 will have outsold the XBOX 360 by the end of the year. 

You go off the suggestion that MS will just sit back and twiddle their thumbs and nothing in the world is going to change.  You understand that during the begining of fall and all these times you are talking about both ps3 and 360 were lucky to get much more then 100k, but now you figure that ps3 will pretty much more then double it sales and 360 will remain the same? Use your head before you post.
