actually, yes on all.

if the 360 overtakes the ps3 in feb or march, yes its coz more people want a 360 hence, its more popular and the ps3 is loosing popularity if its sales also drops.

but if it maintains its sales, then its just that the 360 is more popular and is no way an indication that the ps3 is dead.

same with the 360, even if the ps3 is outselling the 360, it doesnt mean that the 360 is dead coz its still selling at acceptable level. now if sales drops to what, by around 5k-10k per week and suddenly sells at 20k-30k per week, now thats an indication of looming death.

I'm sure 360 is not done for. I'm expecting a possible bundle with GTAIV (and price drop?) so that would help the 360 come back on top in the U.S. by a large margin, but in others probably not. 360 is not going out without a fight, thats for sure.

One thing's for sure - I'll keep this thread in the "crow eating" bookmarks folder in my browser.

Is it me or do Sony fans have the shortest memories of anyone on this planet?

2 Years Ago: "PS3 is going to KILL OFF THE NINTY FANBOYS ONCE AND FOR ALL! Motion controls? That's a gimick! Blu-Ray is the real future of gaming. The 360 won't last long either I'm sure some hardcore retards are going to keep playing it for Halo but there's no way its going to sell more than the Xbox did. PS3 has all the games and all the power! I can't wait for the next gen to get here so we can watch as Sony demolishes the competition once again!" 

I Year Ago: "Stop being so negative! One day when all the games come out, the PS3 will find its place and do well, Sony's not going anywhere! You just have to give it a chance, stop being trolls and telling us its going to die! Why can't you just let us have our opinion and respect our choice in gaming?! If we can respect yours you can respect ours."

Today: "Woooooooo! SONY DOMINATION FTW!!! 360 is dead! LOOK OUT WII! YOU'RE NEXT!!! We've been outselling the 360 by a hair sliver margin for several weeks now! ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE PS3 OVERTAKES IT WORLD WIDE!!!"

ps3 will continue to outswell 360 this year, and going into 2009 i think the 360 will drop off.

biggest mistake was not making a hd drive in the 360

i can recall comments since launch of the ps3 things like

"its only sold 2 million consoles, its gonna do a dreamcast"

ha ha ha, with great exclusives this year and a very possible price drop, ps3 will lead for sure

 That look fits you much better!

 To make this clear, every company that offers a warranty must set aside money to cover the future warranty cover. This will become part of the cost to manufacture a console and lower the profit margin. e.g If the 16% failure rate is correct than for every 7 consoles microsoft manufactures about 1 will fail and this means that for every 7 consoles sold, it actually costs them 8 consoles (very simplified). The write-off in 2006 was because they didn't set enough money aside for the consoles already sold, not future console sales....

360 will have a price cut soon and that will put it back on top in the US. I would love for the PS3 to stay ahead in sales from now on, but MS still has some options, and also a few big titles for 2008.

Yes because what the 360 needed the most was a hardware component to make it more expensive and also appeal to people who don't buy games.
