What surprise me most is how hard both Sony and M$ is trying to accomplish in both region. Sony believe they need more FPS and M$ believe they need more JRpg. At the end it seem that Sony did alot better with the FPS then M$ with JRpg. I just hope M$ just don't quit releasing JRpgs because of their sales from it.

where abouts have u got up to on lost oddessey? its a great game imo

Pretty much pointless thread.
Nobody knows how many PS3 will be sold, when it get 299$ price,
neither, will 199$ or 249$ x360 Pro model have any Big effect.

p.s. And you will never know, how PS3 would be doing today in NA, if KZ2 and R2 woudn`t be there released. After all, it`s most expensive console on the market during economical recession.

should take you 30hours+ to get to the final grand staff.

I don't see PS3 coming back against 360 in US. The 360 and Live is too entrenched now. The only way I see PS3 having any chance is to gain momentum outside the core shooter market - i.e. to start competing with the Wii rather than the 360, and that seems really unlikely right now as it is tagged as the 'other HD console' and is too expensive.

Japan also looks over from an HD perspective. Even with huge backing 360 has only gone from dead to limping along (a big improvement, but not enough to change anything drastically). PS3 spikes show it has enough titles/impetus to easily hold of 360 and FF/GT should push the console way out of reach - essentially the opposite of US. MS could continue to fight for exclusive content but I think it will find it harder and harder to gain as most developers will surely go multiplatform.

Others could go either way although if I had to guess I think that FF, GT and God of War, plus versions of Jak and Daxter, etc. will be enough to give the PS3 a small lead in Others when all is said and done.

Wii will be number 1 unless things cave in massively - which despite recent dip in Japan seems unlikley.

Still, it should be interesting when the PS3 price cut hits.

Fix'd

lol it wasnt hardly a big spoiler was it.

Considering the point he is up to how is he supposed to know he will be going to another Grand Staff later on?

I actually agree on this one ;) In the HD war Sony won Japan ( especially FFXIII beeing exclusive in that region ) and MS won the US. The gap in the US is way to big at this point and in best case I could see Sony shrinking MSs lead by ~ 2 million lt but I wouldent bet on that...

Others... well Im confident that because GT5, a pricecut and mainland Europe still being mostly Playstation oriented ( when comparing to the Xbox ) Sony will pull ahead of MS with a pretty nice margin especially when it will come down to lt software sales, and maybe even 5 million + hardware lead when its all said and done... but even this combined lead wont help to pass Microsofts NA lead and IMO it will probably be a virtual tie... mybe some lead from MS but the two region lead for Sony will help it equel the sittuation when it comes to software sales...

Don't underestimate the GT5 in Europe. That game will push alot of hardware in the region. IMHO, by the end of 2010 the PS3 will have a 2 to 3 million lead over the 360 in Europe/Other
