This is going to be a big christmas season for the box. Definately it's best selling period yet. I don't think Sony's game lineup (though awesome) has the ability to overpower it this christmas.

And as a result of repeated troll posts, I'm putting sporticus on a one week ban.

I think the ps3 might just sell as well as the 360 in North america, and maybe better elsewhere. Forget my above post. Heavenly sword will move consoles even if it did get a 7.0, because its being compared to god of war. Unreal tournament 3 might force 360 owners to get a ps3. "If it gets a better review than gears of war". Haze not much. But the ps3 does have a great line up of games.

As for the psp, I think it might outsell the ds(the new model in japan seems interesting to see).

I'm sorry, but this argument is getting old. If the PS3 thrives so well on brandname, why is it still struggling to keep up?

And I will be absolutely SHOCKED if the PSP outsells the DS, leo.  Only two weeks in this entire generation has the PSP outsold the DS.

Unreal is coming to xbox as well, yes at a latter date, but why would that force any of them to get a ps3?

mistake 2 Haze is also for 360....

so the only thing you have up there is HS, so it has a decent line up of games, but it really doesnt compare to 360 or wii

lastly seriously what are the chances of psp outselling ds........

I try not to count games that are on PC/Multiplatform as really console moving, Oblivion is a good game but sold better on PC then 360 + PS3 combined.

Also there is the word YET there, is mass effect even out? Eternal Sonata might sell in Japan but idk about the US and Europe, and Lost Odyssey is made by mystwalker isnt it? if so and its as bad as Blue Dragon (sorry but DQ/FF/Golden Sun/Paper Mario and the other RPGs are 100% better) I dont see it doing much for the 360.

Has any of those 360 exclusive RPGs been released in the US/Europe yet? dont think so. If Blue Dragon's effect in Japan is anything to show, it will sell maybe 1 million copies but mostly to people who already own 360s and barely expand it's overall console sales (Halo 3 will be the reason for 360 sales tripling).

And.. whats Two Worlds? I never heard of it.. is it being released on the PC, i might look into it if it is.

The reason why I see the PS3 version of UT3 selling more then the 360 version is because it supports M&K. Of course PS3 + 360 version wont equal UT3 PC.  

Do you fail to see its in a software drought and damn near twice the price of the competition, price means little on xmas.

you need to do some research before you start talking. Mistwalker is made up of 10 people thats it, its mostly just sakaguchi and uematsu (however you spell that) all they did for blue dragon was 1 music, and many didnt like that cause it was ment for japan. So all they did was watch it and make suggestions, it was made by ARTOON, the same people who made vampire rain (sigh) that gives you an idea on why its not that great.

Eternal sonota has gotten numerous awards here in the Us for  best looking rpg (see game trailers) and game informer just gave it a 8.25 and blue dragon a 9, alot better scores then alot of those rpgs you just listed. Its a matter of opinion and you need to stop making general statements and say its your opinion. Blue dragon also did quite a bit for the 360 it sold almost 200k copies thats almost a 50% attachment rate and that is HUGE so it sold quite well in japan and eternal sonota is almost hitting the 1k mark which is 25% which again is HUGE and it has not been out as long as blue dragon.

Also lost odyssey is again overwatched by mistwalker, but if you go into interviews sakaguchi states that this is the title he has been putting full power into, not blue dragon. Also lost odyssey is made by FEEL plus, a group that microsoft made just to help make this game with over 100 staff, and 20+ being former square employees. This game is supposed to be much better then blue dragon because its got much MUCH better of a storyline and is more based more realistic graphics and just looks like its going to plain out rock. Im not saying it will def be fantastic, but your stating that you know its going to suck, sorry, but why would microsoft create this group JUST FOR THIS GAME to have it suck (yes they are only working on this game).

THe PS3, though pretty, has nothing this holiday season, no MGS4, no GTA4, there are no HUGE names for PS3, thats the facts.

 Sorry Killzone, as someone who thinks the PS3 is far from doomed I have to disagree with you here.  Its not that price doesn't mean anything at X-mas, its that it means less.  And I can't help but wonder how many people are really going to spend $500 on a console when for so many people that is all or most of their X-mas spending money. I think the big reason price means less at X-mas has to do with the messed up mentality that expensive gifts mean you care more. So if getting little Timmy a PS3 means someone else doesn't get a gift at all that could be a problem. But aside fromt hat I just don't see people going out in droves and dropping that kind of cash for a console, mainstream still percieves all consoles as toys, and when they probably have quite a few other people to shop for it will be hard to justify that kind of expenditure on what they percieve as a toy.

This is why we will probably see a poor performance of the Elite, mediocre performance for the premium, and most of the sales for the 360 will go to the "Core".
