I'm humbled by the compliment man. Thanks, lol.

This is simply bluster by MS. The lead isn't large enough for the PS3 too start losing support. Unless MS opens up a significant lead in Europe, PS3 owners have nothing to worry about. Europe is keeping the PS3 multiplatform viable. The lead does make it easier for MS to acquire third party exclusives, but not large enough for anything more than timed exclusivity. There are exceptions, but their are exceptions to everything.

Ahh. This guy is awesome. :D Maybe ps3 is really doomed!

If you are a 3rd party publisher, you see the one console selling more than the other one, you see that the userbase is already 8 million bigger, you see it is selling more software per console, you see the other one stuggles to drop price and to appear to a wider market and the leading one offers you a decent amount of money to make your game exclusive... what would you do?

Maybe some 3rd party publishers decide to go exclusive again...?

Ok, firstly - this will not impact 2009 for Sony. If devs are moving away from PS3 development, then it is recent, so it will affect the library 2 years from now, in 2011. The only threat Sony has for 2009 is canned/cancelled games or studios shutting down with PS3 games in development.

That said, the marketshare conquers all. It is true that a few studios are rethinking their game plan and who to spend their limited funds developing for. Yet, MS is mistaken if they think that they are shifting to another HD system. THe bulk of those devs who are leaving PS3 projects behind are opting for the cheaper development with the Wii.

huh w/c software selling by 8 million more? FPS? As if they're such importance to me haha

This is a bunch of garbage SW companies need all the sales they can get these days with the high cost of development if anything support will get better as time goes by seeing that developers are already getting better with the ps3 awesomeness
I wouldn't be surprised if that 360 EU margin be gone b4 the year ends

With all the major publishers laying people off? Something is going to get cut.
I'm guessing the lowest selling platform with the highest development cost, aka, PS3.

Ok people, let us start being fair here.

Many began hating on Sony because they became arrogant right?

Ok, now why are we not starting to hate this guy and MS for their arrogance?

A genuine question, just looking for a genuine answer.

I don't get it ... the PS3 is over 3M units ahead of the 360 world wide if you align their launches, e.g., it has consistently sold equal to or better than the 360 at each stage of their respective shelf lives, despite costing significantly more. The 360s aggressive pricing and SKU assortments going back to late 2007 did cause the gap to narrow from 4M down to, at one point, 2M, but it has actually widened again since the past holiday.

Given the price structure of the PS3, launching at $599 and never costing less than $399, I'm actually surprised its managed nearly 20M units. Back in early 2007, I honestly thought it would do much worse.

Rumors of Sony's demise are greatly exaggerated.
