Outside of Japan I would say Microsoft is doing alright and is probably waiting for a good opportunity to capatalize on its earlier launch/larger userbase, lower manufacturing costs and strong line-up ... If I were Microsoft I would be anticipating Sony having a disapointing E3 for several reasons; the main one will be that, although the games are demonstrated, several of the highly anticipated PS3 games will be delayed to TBA 2008. This should mean that Microsoft will have (in many ways) a better line-up through 2007 than Sony will ... As I see it, after E3 Microsoft will be anticipating people being disapointed with the PS3 and excited about the XBox 360 so it should be an ideal time to drop the price of the XBox 360.
This is funny, I was thinking of starting a thread about how the 360 is really starting to pick up momentum. I don't know about the Europe numbers(which other people are debunking anyways), but despite horrifically smaller launch numbers in NA, the 360 overtook the xbox this december. It posted some good January numbers and will do so again in February. Partly because recent games like Gears of War, Lost Planet and Crackdown. Sure Japan is a waste land, but if you compare it to the Xbox, you'll see that it's sold a lot more software, and has been posting much higher weekly numbers for some time now, meaning that it will probably overtake the xbox in the next 2 or 3 months. So with an install base of 10 million, Mass Effect, Fable 2, Forza 2, Halo 3, GTA and many other system selling games on the way, increased sales over it's predecessor and it's major competetor more expensive and in less homes, I'm actually quite possitive about the box of X
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
Well it's outselling the PS3 worldwide, so if it's dying, what does that say about the PS3. (No, it's not dying, stop being a fanboy and do some research before posting flamebait like this.)

The PS3 hasnt started picking up steam yet. Here in a few weeks the first push for sony starts. Up untill now, has been the "yup. You bought a console... that wasnt done. You idiot haha." But unlike microsoft their not going. "Haha. Your 3 month old console sucks, and you got ripped off. We are totally rebuilding the 360." That would make me kinda... mad.
