Summer means nothing other then momentum. It will depend on price and games by Christmas...

If 360 cuts price permanently and PS3 doesn't, PS3 has no chance to beat 360 this year and possibly the generation.

If both manufacturers permanently cut price PS3 will continue to gain on 360 wordwide but they may be hampered depending on the game reviews for new games on both consoles this year.

If 360 price stays up in price and PS3 cuts, PS3 will make huge gains on 360...

Really the ball is in Sony's court. They pretty much have to cut price in some way if 360 does to stay in the game. Because of the number of existing exclusives, 360 has a lot of room to come up with big value bundles at christmas. This is make or break year for Sony though. If they can't close the gap by at least another million wordwide by the end of the year they are in for a tough time the rest of this generation. It is obvious that 3rd parties are backing 360. Sony really only has strong 1st party exclusives.

Nah.. I think It'll go back to where it is. The price cut only made a 20k(or more?) consoles. The drop was unusual. If it's supply issues. It'll be back sometime.

Boy that sure sounds like last year....

i dont think it will be 2010 but early 2009. this year ps3 could easily close the gap to 3 million, especially during the november and december and i also see the ps3 speeding up and gaining more momentum! while the 360 is going to slow down after the release of Halo 3, there really is nothing left! hell that is the only game im going to buy this year for my 360. i think 2008 will be microsofts worst year.

at the moment i doubt the PS3 will overtake the 360 in NA, but its still on course to outsell the 360 in Japan and Others fairly well.

With its amazing back catalogue the 360 will always have the advantage.......

The 360 has survived the loss of the HD-DVD vs Blu Ray war

Metal gear solid 4 despite been a GREAT game has not made the HUGE impact that some ps3 fanboys were hoping it would

Nothing on ps3 comes close to sales of Halo 3 or Gears of war.... and now Gears of war 2 is only 3 months away and a new Halo game will be announced soon

Aswell as Metal gear solid 4 were ps3 fanboys not saying that FFXIII will be a 360 killer? oops, its multiplat now

Microsoft have already STATED they they already have a date pencilled in to drop the 360 to $199....... will the ps3 be anywhere near a price of $199 over the next 3 years? i doubt it.....

Microsoft were 1st out of the blocks this time round and have many counter attacks for anything that ps3 can do due to price cuts, better online ect

Valves next 3 games are 360 Exclusive, Microsoft having close ties to the pc world means that microsoft get 1st option on most pc games

Valve love microsoft, thats a big plus....

Microsoft will always remain one step ahead of ps3 this generation and its ultimately gonna lead to a victory for 360 over ps3

Bottom line_____________________

$199 for xbox 360? wow are you kidding me? that cheap? Sometimes I think too cheap is no good. Even the Nintendo Wii won't be dropping down to $199 anytime soon. Price cut= huge loss for the company, they just need the right time to do it. Now is not that right time.


I don't think PS3 will surpass America anytime soon but I believe PS3 sales will overtake Xbox 360 in WW sales next year.

im not sure it will last long

I think Ps3 will go back up...

im not sure yet, but i find it kinda ironic that the mega announcement two weeks ago about FF13 the 360 has outsold the ps3 WW since. Now i noticed the ps3 dropped like a bad habit in america? that had alot to do with FF13 going multiplatform whether sony fans like it or not. I am still sticking to my guns and say that hte ps3 is gonna be last this gen just because what you can get on the ps3 you can get on the 360 as well. Guess what the 360 is still cheaper and looks as good as the ps3. sorry i think sony is hurtin and will end up third.
