x360 cost MUCH cheaper, than PS3, and yet struggling to outsell PS3.

Do you people think, that PS3 at 299$/€ would sell as BAD as x360 today???

I am a big fan of the PS3, best console Sony ever made, but sadly there's nothing about its latest sales to rave about. And, more important it's still being outsold every week. Yes, with a price cut, it will outsell the 360, but MS can still lower their prices as well.

If you look, every console is selling less now than earlier.

360 is definitely dead. After all, it's only tied with the PS3 this week before the sales of its strongest market come in.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Actually once you've added the cost of a wireless network adapter, wireless headset, play and charge kit, 3 years worth of xbox live and a bluray standalone player it's insanely more expensive and of course every single gamer needs all those accessories (not to mention they must buy the elite for the bigger HDD).  So by this logic (which I'm pretty sure you and many other fanboys have persistantly used these last few years) the 360 is doing amazing outselling the two cheaper consoles.

What I actually see is the PS3 has less perceived value at it's price point than the 360 does right now hence why it's selling less in the 2 main territories.  To answer your question, by the time the PS3 is $299 the 360 will still be cheaper and selling on par or better.  Neither console is going to die off and both are selling crap compared to the Wii as always anyway.  Come back when the PS3 has outsold the 360 for a year then we'll take you seriously.



Then the PSP's dead without Japan

Well what MS can do to counter Sony if they drop the price of the PS3 is drop the price of the 360...quite simple actually.  360 has more than enough games coming out this year to satisfy even the pickiest gamers.   The chances of the 360 dying are about as good as the chances of the PS3 dying...which is virtually none at all.

 

 

 

I'm impressed that you made a pretty non biased post here.

The 360 won't die. There is a good chance that the PS3 will outsell the 360 for a year if the fabled $150 arcade doesn't come to fruition. Even though MS has loads of cash, I honestly feel like they don't want to blow another few billion on another console as the 360 has finally started making some money for them. Furthurmore, so long as their current console is many times more powerful then the current market leader, a spec upgrade is not nessisary.

Both the PS3 and the 360 can sit back and Sony and MS don't even have to start thinking about new systems as long as Wii sits at the top of the hill.

Well i actually try to be non-biased most of the time...sometimes i succeed sometimes i fail miserably, especially when Halo is brought up I tend to get pretty defensive lol.                                                                                                                                                                                                                  I actually believe that MS could lower the price of the 360 again very soon and at least break even if not make a small amount of profit on each console sold.

Never has the J man witnessed so much win , its mindboggling......



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

Hes right
the 360 only outsells the ps3 by 20k
but look at the infamous bundle in uk
it only costs 279 pounds
i think it pretty safe that sony will drop the price of the ps3 by 50-100$/€ sometime later this year

and with systemsellers like GT5, i think the ps3 might outsell the 360 by 1,5-1,8/1 over the holiday season



Sometimes I feel PS3 fanboys take this 4D thing literally and feel that they can bend space and time. From silly thread like this or the one where 360 and PS3 are launch at the same time and PS3 is actually "winning".

Are we back in 2008 again with 360 is dead with no games and blow its load with Halo...?



Nothing's dead or dying until Netcraft confirms it.

That being said, with the recent success of the Wii, in my mind it is CLEAR that Nintendo is poised to take over both Sony and Microsoft at any moment. Expect to see Nintendo Walkmans and Nintendo Windows 7 sometime next year. Sales figures prove it's going to happen.
