People are quick to over look the fact that the PS3 is $400 dollars in the US, $600 in the UK and the 360 is $199 in the US and $239 in the UK.

Yes 360 is doing great numbers, but do u really think it will matter in the long term, the console war is 8 years away from finishing if we believe SONYs claim.

Just watch when the PS3 drops its price, then u will see how a console is supposed to sell , i can guarntee that for the majority of 2009 the PS3 will sell around 200k + a week if it gets a price cut of $100 making it 299. Once it gets to 199, it will sell 250k +.

Haters or people who have just lost faith in the PS3, pray to SONY that they drop the price, then the PS3 will absolutly murder the 360.

Ugh, I hate seeing stuff like this.  Outside of Killzone 2, what game fits this description?  And how does Microsoft not do similar things?

Both companies have their share of games that are announced extremely early in developmnet, and those that are announced pretty late.

And by "announced" I mean its debut with a trailer, whether CGI or gameplay.

thanks for that tid bit of information.

PS3 isn't dead, i don't know what you've been told. And as soon as the price drops to $300 PS3 will be outselling Wii. you can quote that.

A console generation typically lasts five to six years. This console generation is now over three years old. That means this generation is halfway towards completion. Anyone spouting that a generation is ten years long is supremely ignorant, and they should probably do a little back ground work before they start handing out analysis.

Further more Sony is not endowed with the power of god. They cannot dictate when a generation starts or ends. That is really decided by the launch of a next gen console from a manufacturer, and they are not going to dither about for another eight years.

 That's funny.

Of course what you'll find is that most PS3 fanboys will just get very, very quiet, just like MS fanboys did when the PS3 was doing better than the 360 during the early part of the year.

This site is a lot more enjoyable when we just analyze the numbers that come in.

a console that sells 200k in one week is... dead? hmm. i don't quite see it.

Funny, people on internet forums tried telling me the PS3 was dead shortly after it launched and that was about 2 years ago....

ps3 is dead unless they suprisingly do something at the end of the year, 360 looks good on all fronts now gears 2, new xbox experience, price cut, holiday bundle, 3 sku, whether xbox 360 failure rate is huge or not u g2a admit ms is not gna lose to sony without an all out war dats for sure.

2007 we are back arent we
