Yes but 5 million is a big, big gap and Sony does not outsell 360 by enough to close it soon, and even when 360 price cut might not hurt PS3, it will definately help 360. So even if eventually PS3 passes Xbox360 it wont matter that much because Wii will be unreachable.

we will see it in cristmas

 Best post on this site so far. Sony would be in serious trouble when Japan wouldn't be so loyal to their own companys. MS trys so hard to satisfy the japanese market, no JRPG could tell such a story of the one guy fighting these huge competitors. Imagine the 360 lead over the PS3 with just 2 million more consoles sold in Japan.

I know that is a personal opinion but MS is really working hard to do the best for their gamers. Okay, The rrod was bullshit but talking about games, MS is really trying to get the best ones. With Resident Evil, GTA, FF, DevilMayCry they got games, which were connected to the PS, on the Xbox360. Nintendo is in no need to work hard. Ok there is WiiMusic coming out, but thats about it for the Wii and it is still selling like hot cakes. Sony just started to make some games. They had the trust in their 3rd party-games, but MS managed it to made those multiplat, now Sony is focussing on their own developed games. If you like MS or not, you have to admit they are the ones working very hard to gain marketshare.

You hear all the time, MS all-time-strategy is like going in a market, buy the competitors, eleminate the competitors. That is not the case for this generation. They are profitable and they are working hard to deliver the best possible product to their customers. If you come up with the Xbox1: There is no way in hell to get a footstep in this market without one generation of losses. No company on this planet can bring out a console that is profitable in its first generation. MS knew that, they even said the Xbox1 is an investment.

It must be said that it's commonly believed that when the GPU too will be shrinked, the RRoD problem should be solved, reaching failure rates close to competitors. With partial shrink and mobo redesign it wasn't completely solved, only reduced, most probably also due to the slim case that I think I read somehwere, in MS intentions should  have lured more Japanese customers... And this is another lesson from Sony MS badly copied instead of really learning: Sony released a slim version of PS2, that really sold better, when it was possible and safe to do it.

Anyhow, if MS is sincere, and I must admit that in this market, where they haven't  a near monopoly, they behave much fairer, at least to customers, soon the problem should be solved, but with more than 20 million consoles around, more or less vulnerable, but all with failure rates too higher than competitors, by now the damage is done.

About sales, in Europe PS3 is now selling almost twice as much as XB360 does, so if a price drop is beneficial to XB360 and will help Xmas sales, surely it isn't hurting PS3 too, let's just hope that Nintendo, to be safe, drops its EU price, just to be sure Wii remains the lower cost current gen console of choice.

How did the PS3 lose? It sells doesnt it?

So is the Sony Vaio dead also now , cause they just did ANOTHER recall of them TODAY cause they started exploding again.
