News article is something that is based on facts and written to report news, Blog is a persons view being expressed and can include biased facts to try to persuade others into believing their beliefs.

He probably thought the Libertarians would win the presidency too.

I'm inclined to believe that once Sony stops hemorraging money due to the global financial meltdown, it will drop the price of PS2 and PS3 sharply, which will sap Xbox 360 of most of its current momentum. PS3 for all its issues is still selling about 2/3 to 4/5 as well as PS2 in Others in any given week. The drop in the Americas is trending toward 2/5 to 5/10 as PS2 sales, and PS3 sales in Japan suggests 2/10 to 3/10 of PS2 sales.

That puts PS3 at maybe 30m/22m/5m or so worldwide.

Can't really see Xbox 360 topping 15-18m in Others, 1.25m-2.25m in Japan or 30m in the Americas. Certaintly close, but they are essentially fighting to be the second console for the pluarality of Wii owners looking for more.

I agree with this.

And...

No mention of rrod? No matter how much the actual hardware is free from this failure, I don't think that the perception about this issue should be underestimated...
