Money is made from software sales. Here in NA the 360 is still king. The sky isn't falling you ps3 freaks. ^_^

So, 360 has a shitty '08 lineup, eh?

(Note: A few of those are for '09, but you get my point)

I'm a member of High Def Digest forum and a number of folks bought a PS3 and haven't bought a single game. Plus, some want to buy a standalone player instead. With the clear winner in the HD format war, folks are looking at what the PS3 offers vs. standalone players. When the PS3 does the same thing and even more than the other players on the market, which would you pick? Do the math.

Make no mistake - yeah, the PS3 is catching fire, but the Wii is a console purely and winning folks. The PS3 has the unique position of being a console and a Blu Ray player. The only way to see if the PS3 is being picked up by folks as a console is to watch the software numbers. If the PS3's attach rates jump, sure ... it's beating the 360 in the console wars. However, if folks are just picking it up because it plays Blu Ray - and I know a guy that did just that - and bought a few Blu Rays, but didn't buy any games, nor does he plan to. He just enjoys his Blu Rays.

When the software attach rates coorespond with the hardware rates, it's on. 

@Madskillz: I did that. I didn't have any games for months until my birthday in November.

Right now there are shortages in the USA.

Understand something very simple.  The Xbox 360 is a success for Microsoft.  IT has attained profitability and will sell far more than the Xbox.

The Playstation 3 is a failure for Sony.  Their gaming dominance has been ceded to Nintendo and to a lesser extent Microsoft.

Sony has no chance of selling 100 million PS3's, the console has failed to meet it's expectations. 

I think someone should sue Sony for monopoly tieing and predatory pricing like they did with Microsoft on IE and Windows.  The only reason blu-ray won over the studios in the format war was because they pumped out PS3's with blu-ray at a substantial loss.  Stand alone sales were in favor of HD DVD until the PS3 started coming along.  They used the PS brand to win the format war...

Sony's attach rate will sink over the next few months because of the blu-ray win.

Bum Bum Bum Bum.... wait thats "here comes the bride"

Bum Bum Bum Bum... there we go the military funeral song.

And here comes FishyJoe bashing PSP in a completely non-related thread.

Even PSP is "falling" the fastest, the weekly WW sale # of PSP will still be above Xbox360. 

All of you who think its over for 360 will be eating shit here in the next couple weeks

Edit: I meant crow... not shit

I think most of the people in this thread need to take a few deep breaths and take off the rose-colored glasses for a minute.

DMeisterJ, the PS3 is not going to beat 360 in NA on a consistent basis. Wait until the weird supply issues are taken care of to see how the consoles will truly match up in 2008 ... or if they aren't gone in a month, then you can start making fun of how MS is obviously discontinuing their hardware in shame at losing the home territory.

360 fans, the PS3 is TOTALLY going to beat 360 WW on a consistent basis. Like a redheaded stepchild, based on evidence thus far available.  Price cuts will help 360 sales, but they will not put rocket boosters on a 2 1/2 year old console. On a related note, I will laugh long and hard if/when the Arcade is cheaper than the Wii.
