aha i dont think its sinking quickly its going to be about a year or more before ps3 passes its sales ww

I don't think LtNK's "death before surrender!" HD DVD boosting is relevant here.

As for the title: Add "marketshare" and it's golden; unfortunately, that's not what people are saying. The 360 IS NOT DYING. Live with it. Is future victory (2nd place) not enough for Sony fans -- must they really pretend to have it now when they in fact do not?

And I actually did "surrender". When it was discontinued, I admitted that Toshiba handled it wrong, because the facts were there. My main contention was the people who were trolling under the guise of being blu-ray fans. I did let my emotions get out of control though. Not a good time in my life. Don't ask.

even if ps3 was to sell 100,000 units more per week from next week and we take the gap as 5mil that is been really optimistic on ps3 side, it will be may 09 before it catches up with 360. i think ps3 is in trouble because by that time you will probably be looking at the new next gen console. taking a more realistic figure of 50,000 ms just have to sit on there backsides and keep plodding along while developing there next console. either way it looks to me like sony have lost this one big time. they are the ones with most to lose there last console was king while xbox was the poor cousin. this time they are in distant third with time running out. the sales have not taking off as they hoped and i really think the wii is hurting them more. come next gen people will be looking at their options and if a new x box was bc how many ps3 owners would buy it. i think quite a few because so far it has been all spin and little substance with the ps3. everything is in the future untapped potential, home, games running late whereas the 360 does what it says on the tin. the problem for sony is the future is now the present and still too little delivered. there is a saying in the entertainment business you are only as good as your last gig. i think this could well apply to the ps3.

What I meant was you screaming that it wasn't over for HD DVD until Toshiba said so. But you were man enough to salute the victor once that finally DID happen and as I said I don't think that guy has any reason to mention it.

Yes, the lead was 7 million at launch but after the ps3 launch the xbox continued to outsell it, racking up nearer a 10 million lead, which has now been reduced to 6.3 million.

 So yes, lead squandered!

Perhaps he was just hoping that quality hardware would prevail over trojan-horsing a new format into your console to get movie studios on your side and forcing many people to pay for what they didn't want.

An amateur author who wrote an amateur analysis of the current generation of console sales. I can read better analysis from the every day visitors to this site, so why bother?

Aren't you people bored of having this same conversation every day multiple times?

All 3 are selling well. MS can't be sinking if sales are increasing. The 360 might not be selling as well as PS3 or Wii at the moment, but that doesn't mean it is dying/sinking/failing.

Is PS3 dying/sinking/failing when it got outsold in the U.S>, by 360 last month? Not in the least. Is everyone else sinking because Nintendo is clubbing them to death with stacks of hundreds? Not in the least.

It's silly and boring.

i think it all boils down to Micro AND sony not giving the wii enough credit from teh start, so both companies got caught with their pants down
