LOL 360 at $99?

Something funny?

The 360 Arcade has been £129.99 in the UK since last year so would fully expect it to be £99.99 around December or January, when this happens the sales will be huge and will dampen any pricecuts the PS3 has planned......

......ok..............$99 xbox360 FTW I guess?

$99 Xbox360 could mean $49 PS2!!!! Sony FTW!!! loll XD

There is no way MS could "wash out" this generation at this point. They've already disrupted the Sony dominance machine, and relegated that console to niche status this generation.

Even if Sony does manage to outsell MS this generation, it's no victory for Sony. Their brand is significantly tarnished, while the Xbox brand is stronger now that it has ever been.

How could this ever, possibly be considered a victory for Sony?

You do realize that marginalizing Sony as a gaming option is the entire reason there even is an Xbox, right?

You do realize that PC gaming is also Microsoft gaming, for all intents and purposes, right?

Games for Windows + Xbox 360, this generation.

So, yeah, is Sony gonna "outsell" infinity?

Cus that's when MS washes out.

Honestly, we have a lot of people setting short goalposts for Sony, and that's understandable. The real goalposts have always been unreachable, and we all have to have something to look forward to.


THIS.

No matter what happens from this point, this generation has been a success for MS and a disaster for Sony.

For me personally - ToV - the only true exclusive I liked for 360 - is now going to PS3. The other games are on PC and PS3 that I like. I really could care a milligram for Halo and/or Gears.

Since alot of the Xbox 360 game "exclusives" (not available for PS3) are on PC as well - and I prefer PS3. It seems that makes me automatically a "Sony Delusional" around here.

Thing is, most people who say that don't really plan on playing those games on PC, or at all. They simply use the PC as a marginilization tool against the Xbox 360. If you are one of the exceptions, forgive us, because trust me, all of the fakers claim the exact same thing you just did, with the exact same passion, but they are lying. If you aren't, then you must forgive some people for being skeptical.
