To be honest this round of consoles has been win, win, win. All three are in the end going to do very well

PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

So the Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 by 10k in August. Crow is being served on a steaming bun, however, people should look at a couple of facts-

The reality is,

A) the Xbox 360 is 100+ dollars cheaper than the PS3,

B) had TWO exclusives in August (ToV, and Too Human), and

C) had a liquidation of the 20 gigabyte unit. This should reflect very easily in the sales numbers.

It only outsold the PS3 by 10 k units. So for Xbox 360 fans to suddenly cry out "PS3 is dead,"- imagine what one price drop with a bundled game would do for the Playstation 3? Not only that, Gamestop across the nation have said there has been a shortage in supply, and the new Cell 65nm has been a bottleneck in production. World Wide the PS3 is still outselling the 360.

So is the PS3 dying? No. Is it too late for the PS3 in NA? No. Is bluray dead? No. Are people on VG Chartz blowing 10k out of proportion? Yes.

add ps3 supply constraints into that equasion also.

...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

To have to make a thread to claim that the PS3 is not dead means you unknowingly say that there is a problem with the PS3...

In anycase, something can't be dead if it hasn't been alive yet.

This is one crazy thread. Relax, chill out... they're only consoles, not puppies...

OT neither 360 nor PS3 is dead and neither is 'doing a PS1/PS2' at this point in time.

Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Off topic question but I've been trying to figure this out for a long time and it's really bothering me. What do they mean by "bottleneck". (sorry for the stupid question)

The PS3 or 360 arent going anywhere, they are both viable options to 3rd party developers that isnt changing for the foreseeable future. If the PS3 stays in 3rd its whole life does that mean its not a viable console?
