@Gobias: I think it's not nearly as ridiculous. The key thing here is that any possible PS3 2nd place now has to happen so long from now that it won't matter even if it happens.

Just because things changed once doesn't mean we shouldn't reevaluate the situation using our brains.

 

I agree its not as ridiculous, but the stark change from PS3 is the hunter to the PS3 is the hunted and the extremism on both ends is just insane.

People need to relax, anything can (and will) happen. Nothing is over.



As in go buy us some coffee.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Well, for me the interesting part of the console race is over. The only interesting thing left to see is how Sony manages as a company, and what's the impact of this in the next-gen.

The only way for the console war to get interesting again is if the PS3 gets discontinued. Then it will be interesting to see who gains in developer attention between the Wii and 360. Otherwise I don't expect any big changes.

wii numbers drop? so either stores hoarding for black friday or consumers waiting for black friday

 

 The wii is IN STOCK at every retailer right now, so i doubt the retailers are holding anything back.

 

Amazon stopped selling them a few days ago. Walmart only has expensive bundles on their website. Target's site is out of stock too I think.

 

Yeah, this is telling a different story:

Are you serious? The only thing that is availible online is expensive Wii bundles? Wow...



The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?

The interesting fact to me is that Wii and 360 sales are greatly up from last year, while PS3 sales are completely flat (no growth at all). I'll run a further check on the numbers when we have Japan numbers as well, just to be sure.

It's a little hard to get a direct year-on-year comparison for sales, because Thanksgiving (and Black Friday) were 1 week earlier last year.

It's not key at all.

It won't matter which console ends up in second or third place.

It's official:

 

On November 26th, 2008 at around 6 pm Est, The PlayStation 3 is dead. According to well known experts, The 360 killed it with one shot of price drop to its head. We have over 17 million eyewitnesses and from what I hear, its not pretty. It is a sad day indeed, but we still have some gaming to do, I wonder who's going to buy the rest of the 135 million  Sony plan on producing.

Once again, the PS3 is dead.

 

emo?

The xbox360 was also declared dead multiple times this year

 

 

Put the bottle down for one second, and read it again. Do you sense anything?

@Lord N: That's exactly my point. From now on, any changes don't matter much (short of a player dropping out of the race, and that can only be the PS3 barring a nuclear bomb dropped on Kyoto or Redmond).

You're right, they'll probably end up within 5 million of each other either way.
