theres no pricing waggle room left for 360, if ps3 sales can keep up with 360 saless this fal, im sure it will. then price cuts on ps3 in 2009 wll move big numbers. theres more demand for a ps3e than a 360, 360 pre major price cut sales r proof of that.............i predict in 2009 360 will again become stagnanted in demand like it was this year, chuck in a cheaper ps3 compared to this year which wud make it much more affordable.........its a sure winner..................a 249 or a 239 ps3 in the uk would be amazing

Sure there is waggle room for price with the 360. In fact, logically there's more waggle room for them than there is for PS3 since they are not losing money on console sales, while the PS3 still is.

If Sony cuts their price, Microsoft will drop the Arcade to $149 and the Pro to $249. And I would be shocked if we don't see a $99 Arcade by the end of this console life cycle.

And crazyman, it's a bit silly to list every single PS3 exclusive of the quarter but only list two 360 exclusives and say that the PS3 has more.

The real list:

PS3: Resistance 2, LBP, Valkyria Chronicles, SOCOM, Naruto: UNS, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift.

360: Gears 2, Banjo, Fable 2, Last Remnant, Left 4 Dead, Naruto: The Broken Bond, Lips

Looks a lot less uneven now, eh? Also, just as a fun fact, Gears 2 has outsold every game on the PS3's list combined. Even Fable 2 is a measly 82K away from outselling every game on the PS3's list combined. So clearly Halo 3 isn't the only game Xbox fans are buying like "zombies".

100% agree. The major problem with PS3 fans, is that they always think that about their exclusive list and its selling possibilities.
In reality and especially this year we have seen something different, Gears of War 2 outsold everything the PS3 has to offer and 360 is winning the hardware battle.

*Βtw i believe that Killzone 2 will never be the HALO killer game. SONY and its fans always wanted...

You don't need to kill Halo. Halo as an FPS is dead. It died with Bungie's departure.

Besides, wasn't it this site that said CoD4 was a Halo killer? I disagree strongly, but CoD will outlast Halo.

Halo as an FPS is dead? Then this basically is saying Halo as a game is dead, and thus dead = no one plays it.

Wow. I want whatever your smoking. Then again, if its that strong it'll probably kill someone within the week.

Dead does not mean nobody plays it. Dead means it doesn't sell anymore.

Bungie are not going to make another full Halo game, unless they decide to go back to Microsoft, so if Halo isn't dead now it will be within a few years.

No insult to the quality of it, just pointing that out.

Looks like Squill's prediction will come true. The 360 is on track to outsell the PS3 in Q2 as well..

Too bad you didn't take perpride's offer for a ban bet
