@DGC:

A wise man once said to me this. "Owning a console is like a partnership. It doesn't matter how big your consoles install base is, what matters is what your console does to pleasure you."

Well these are interesting numbers. Means that the 360 is still outselling the PS3 at around 150k+ per month in NA, the numbers seem to be stabalising and becoming predictable.

Next week is a massive week for the PS3. It has its A card for the year out (GT5,GOW3,FFXIII as much as we pray they come out this year we know they won't). The PS3 has to get on par with the 360 numbers for a few weeks with the release of KillZone 2. If it doesn't then the only thing that will save the console from falling 200k behind each month is a deep price cut. It was rumoured that was going to happen in March, well March is only a week away. If it doesn't happen then, then i think we have to say earliest it will come will probably be just before the holidays in december. If that happens then its probably over for PS3 in NA in terms of catching 360.

*Meditates on Words*

I see...

Why the american software numbers take so long to be posted?

its quite predictable now. 360 sellling roghly 50k more for the week over ps3.

i think it will stay like this until any price cuts on ps3.

next week i think 360 will have a weekly lead of mabey 80-90k because of so4 release in japan.

I don't see KZ2 making much of an impact at this point. While there are factors such as it being the sequel to a poorly received game, as well as KZ1 being bigger in Europe than America, I think it's mostly advertisement. Where are they? Where is this marketing rush that Sony talked about? When is Sony going to learn that you need to advertise the shit out of their games, and that they can't rely on internet hype? This game could and should be a system seller. Top notch graphics, reviewing well, and a deep multiplayer. It has all the necessary components of a killer app, except that Sony isn't getting the word out.

the major tv ads start tomorrow. only smaller teaser trailers have been released so far.

just because killzone is a great game doesnt mean its a system seller. only very very few games are system sellers.

i can only think of mario - metal gear - gran turismo
