i get that feeling too.... it will be rough on them if foza 3 came out before gt5.   both games are quality, but with all the rummored stuff being added into forza 3 it would seem that team would have done more with less time then polyphone... I could easly be wrong, and i dont see forza 3 coming tll 2010 personally, but i feel if gt5 does not comeout firs there will be major heat applied by sony onto them

@ misterd signature

Almost there!!!

Your sig, FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1, good buddy. Full of win!

If you mean sales wise then no, Wii will dominate again cause Nintento will release Wii Fit add on packs or Wii Sports or Play sequel.

Where did I say or even imply that Sony would dominate anything ever. Never in my posting history have ever thought of something that stupid.

Do I think Sony can dominate quality wise? Of course they can. Sales wise? No.

Sony currently dominates this gen anyway, you have to add in the PS2+Ps3 and PSP, unlike the Wii which has nothing to do with the GC outside of duct tape and the Xbox could be counted with the Xbox360 as it's the exact same thing... going by nouns.

DS has nothing the do with GBA/SP/GB so it wouldn't be fair to count that either. All others are not in this gen, of course DS isn't related at all to the Wii... so yea Sony is dominating.

I was referring to the OP's thread title.

Ok, I hate Sony....

Come on! I dare you guys to try and kick me out!

Software can push a console more then price cuts. The price cuts are to attract potential buys who are staying away due to the price tag. By cutting price, your goal is to namely attract them. Software is more importaint as it can attract buys who had little or no interest in the system. If they want the title, then they must buy the system. The reason why this had not been the case with this generation is the lack of real pushing hardware and the lack of exclusives. Tetris and Pokemon where some of these title. Nintendogs and Wii Fit were these kind of titles too.

Last generation was more about quantity over quality. Sony dominated becuase it had a lot of software, thise enough buyers were attracted. Microsoft and Sony are lacking in both of these (amoung other things).

People see price cuts as importaint becuase this generation has been driven by them. Last generation, they did not matter (the Gamecube was 99$ for a long time and it still got 3rd place).
