Do you mean lifetime or over the course of 1.5 years. or in weekly sales?

when you say 360 has good games coming out this fall/winter, so does ps3. im sorry man, its ps3's time this fall/winter. basically, everyone who wants or wanted a 360 already has one. while for the ps3, many people want it but dont have it yet.

i kinda doubt this because most people wont care about the amount of memory the system has

but  if the price is right then it could be posible but memory alone is not

299$ WW price
80gb.

I've mentioned it before, but I love your taste in literature!

PS3 can possibly do it.
Americans seem 2 like da bigger space so it might.

I think it will be a tight race either way. Most people including parents are more price conscious and will likely go for what is cheaper. Sony is selling well and will continue to do so. It has proven that it continues to sell well at a higher price point and remain competitive.

If and when Sony drops price next year or so will likely make a significant impact, but for now I can imagine numbers will remain close.

 Ouch!, at the inaccuracy of that sentence. The 160 gig will be the $500 model.

It was obvious to most that when the new 80gig (40 gig replacement) was introduced, there would be another larger spec model (160 gig) introduced to replace the old 80 gig. Follow me?

So to ever assume the high end model would ever increase in price is ridiculous. Only Microsoft pulls those shenanigans.

If the PS3 sells at 2:1 over the xbox360, it won't be entirely because of the 160 gig. The entire lineup of games, online features, free online, marketing, public awareness, and most importantly..  the current momentum of the PS3 is what propels its sales now, and once the 160 gig is in full circulation.

We still do not know how many of these 160 gigs are going to be produced on a consistant basis since it is a "limited edition" or whatever Sony is calling it, So the 160 gig will help the image of the PS3 more than anything.

Also, A price cut at this point for Sony would not be the right move IMO. They are outselling the 360, and will continue to do so regardless of whether or not Microsoft cuts their prices further. The fact that people are finally percieving the PS3 to be the better value is really a going to be a problem for Microsoft going forward, and all the price drops they can come up with will not change this fact.

The sales ratio of 2:1 in favor of PS3 over 360 will become a reality eventually. But probably not until Christmas 09.

I would rather see them cut the costs of production and the price of the PS3, the two things to get profit up:

No slot loading drive, just a flip top like the slim.
A wired controller.
40GB HDD.
regular buttons instead of those fancy touch sensors.
10/100 wifi (instead of the 10/100/1000; it's useless anyway)

Most people just do not care about that stuff. People who spend more time on forums than playing games do, but these companies need to stop listening to the people on the forums.

No, unless its a price cut in japan,europe and america.
