there is no stopping the ps3
its unstoppable, and there nothing microsoft can do to stop it except drop the price of the 360 to $2...lol
there are many reasons why ps3 is selling better:
brand name
better games(this year), and more to come next year
and other reasons

and nintendo fans, please dont say that the wii is killing both consoles cause i think weve already established that several times

It's the brand and the fact that the Xbox is American which hurts sales signifficantly in places like Europe and Japan.

yes, it looks like a George Foreman Grill, which everyone wants. 

You were joking, right?  The PS3 has a very ugly design.  It looks like 1982.

I think the PS3 is outselling the 360 this year primarily due to Microsoft missteps and the weakness of games on the 360 so far this year.

It is a combination of the XBox 360 being a non-factor in Japan(1)(2)(3), a lower priced model of the PS3 being released late in 2007(4), Blu-Ray winning the format war with the PS3 being the least expensive Blu-Ray player(5), and the PS3 finally seeing some high quality exclusive games in major franchises(6).

If things go well for the XBox 360 for the rest of the year (sees a price reduction, has many high quality games announced and released, and doesn't see too many delays) and things go poorly for the PS3 (doesn't see a price reduction, few new games are announced, and sees many game delays) the XBox 360 will probably be able to minimize its losses to the PS3 in North America and Europe/Total Others.

 

 1. Wow I didn't know we just cancel out a whole region because the competition isn't doing well there.

2. Guess that means get rid of 360's sales in NA too. 360 = 7.7 mil console sales Vs. Ps3 = 11.59 mil console sales Vs. Wii's negative 30 million console sales. PS3 IS WINNING THIS GEN!

3. All sarcasm aside now... Ps3 isn't doing well in Japan either quit with your bologna excuses.

4. Uh.... okay... again... didn't know we cancelled sales out because of price drop. Guess we can cancel out 360's sales since they had a price drop in others this year along with one last year too.

5. Wait.... I thought blu-ray was a useless luxury and that it will never sell. People don't want to buy blu-rays when DVDs are just as good at a fraction of the price.

6. Of course... wait... I thought it was because of blu-ray... now it's games? Is it the useless luxury or is it the lack of games?

The Ps3 is extremely slick and shiney. Slick and shiney is hot right now.

Yes, it has a piano black finish.  But it's huge and ugly and really fat.  Technology is supposed to be small and sexy, but huge, fat and ugly like the PS3 is.  The problem is that Sony engineering couldn't make it small and sexy.  They weren't capable of it. That's literally the truth why it is huge and ugly -- no one in their right mind would have said, "hey, we can make this thing small and sexy but let's make it huge and ugly."

It's more unattractive than the 360.
