So the reason for x360 sales going down is??? =))) While PS3 sales are going up. =]

Im gonna lol when the comming weeks prove you wrong

i agree that it most likely wont. sales after both of the consoles next drops will be key sony around march (though this might be erly for it still) and ms keeping with the same and droping it around october

as for new gen in 2011 it would be bad for the industry if it happened then and here is why

ive said this many times if any of them release before 2012 there will be backlash that would most likly lead to a crash this will not only come from the general buying public, but devs, whos asset libraries will be devalued. it would not be good for the industry right now.

we are in actually a pretty good place for all three with software sales being what they are sometime next year all three should put up proffits and continue to do so till the end of the generation. sony will be the last to post profits form its game division, and depending on how many units they move form now until the cut (march earliest), software could even offset a small loss per console basis.

other things that work against the launch are the "recession" that we are told we are in. the much more real slide of the euro and most world monies against the yen (the dollar has held steady but was already weak against it).

on top of that there is currently going on major revisions in board and ram design the like of which havent been seen since the mid 90s, this shift should be more defined by 2012 with techs less risky. it also gives time for ISPs to be upgraded and allow for smoother download of full games which is something devs want to kill the resale market (though rental of the game from a download is most likely a devs wet dream rentals on music and games make fortunes)

honestly the only one that could benifit from ending early is nintendo, since they have traditionaly made a profit out of the gate, making people upgrade would just be more cash for them, but killing a cash cow (the wii) is always dangerous

Me too, when the comming weeks will prove YOU wrong. =))

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 06th Jan 2007 to 01st Nov 2008:

6 years? Lol no. If it last 6 years you'd have to worry about being able to buy food let alone buying even a XBOX arcade.

At minimum its probably about a year long recession.  That alone will cost PS3 10-20M sales due to lost momentum.

it's likely they will outsell it by the end of generation but soon nope.
sony needs to drops the price, but at the price it's right now its very competitive and m$ should be alarmed.

Wait... Isn't this the same as claiming that you are the one who has said the most truth in history? Which sort of means you claim that you haver never lied.

Honestly, whether the 360 or Ps3 sells more doesn't matter. The total sales will end withing 10% of each other, perhaps within 5%. Which sells more has no signifficance for this generation nor the next.

This is the table of reality. This is what actually counts in this thread. Will the PS3 follow the trend of last year or will it remain flat? Its got 475,000 to sell in the next two weeks. Go get em boys!

ok first of all the 360 is available in 3 flavors (199/299/399) so id say the avg price is $299.. 299 60GB xbox360 vs 399 for the 40 GB ps3..

the ps3 is not double the price..

the xbox is selling cause it has some interesting titles(gow2, TOV) the ps3 is likely gonna resurg soon as well( VC,LBP) but with every country going broke offlate I dont know if parents care much for bluray or BC...

PS3= more expensive
wii= hard to find stocks
360=cheerful cheap(er), available..

If SONY kills the price in Q1-Q2 2009 im sure M$ would follow suit. where is halo 4 already.

And for all those of you who are playing valkyria.. i hate you all.. The best sega game in years and i cant play it coz its on a sony console..
..oh the irony!
