I like it when someone quotes the obvious i.e. "The 360 is now outselling the PS3 in Japan, the USA and Others/Europe." then goes on to extrapolate one or two weeks worth of sales while ignoring the fact that sales of the system are spiking due to a price cut.
Wii will sell twice as much as 360 and PS3 combined, as it has done, more or less, since launch.
If Sony don't cut the price, it'll be a draw between the 360 and PS3 this Christmas worldwide I reckon and I base that prediction on no more than gut feel.
I am largely platform agnostic. I fail to understand why some people get overly fanboyish about what is an inanimate piece of electronics that's obsolete even before it's launched, when there are far more important things to champion, such as preventing environmental destruction or preventing millions of people dying unnecessarily from illnesses. This fact however, doesn’t mean I am not someone who doesn’t enjoy gaming as a pastime (as I have done for the last 20 years) or doesn’t have a strong interest in how the market is evolving – hence my presence on this site.
Platforms owned – PC, DS, X-Box 360, PS3, PSP and Wii.
