Who said the PS3 will catch up? It depends on how the sales will stabilize in the next years, of course. I was only pointing out that the poster before me took a wrong logical step (that would only hold if sales were constant)

we know sooner or later ps3 will catch up with the 360 it is inevitable.

gotta love how there is a typo in there:

"since many people will rather pay online for free than pay for it."

play online for free. I wonder if they have editors from this site, or if just any opinionated piece of trash article is posted.

I am not saying I disagree with the opinions, I think Microsoft should be afraid, for the reasons that were pointed out, but please... this is a very unprofessional article.

Studios eat through profit margins.  MS's game division would have an even harder time profitting from quarter to quarter with 1st party studios needing checks for all their employees and supplies.  MS want to compete in price arena.  Their business model is built around that thinking.  Plus, MS still has over $5 billion to $6 billion to make up for.  It's almost certain that MS nor Sony will be able to climb of the hole this console generation.  However, Sony spent all that money to be recouped over, AT LEAST, 2 console generations with Cell and Blu-ray.

Also, Sony isn't "building" the world's largest 1st party.  They've had that title for quite some time now.  It's just becoming even larger.

valid points nicely said. However, what is the outcome, what will happen after all that bragging and fear of the competition. My guess both of them will just have to learn to live together. They are already losing both sides so, is more lose is gonna stop them, I dont think so.

'Afraid' is such a strong word is this case... Although otherwise there are quite a few good points.

I wonder who writes this shit. M$ is afraid of Sony, even to an extent that justifies the massive investments into the business. But the post didn't really go into the reasons.
Surely it's a relief to M$ that Wii is leading the market instead of PS3, but they have next gen to take into consideration, where Sony could disrupt M$. At the moment M$ play the game of "deep pockets", where their aim is to get Sony to bleed as much as possible, since M$ can absorb the costs it creates to itself.

Because 7 8 9.

Wait, wrong joke...*reads thread properly*

Yes, but this is changing.... wheras Sony's momentum is falling in their 3rd year, the 360's increased substantially in their 4th. The "same point in time" comparison charts will equalize over the next few months.
